ByrneWallace LLP in association with Property Industry Ireland, are hosting our annual ByrneWallace LLP Housing Infrastructure & Planning Convention in the Aviva Stadium on Thursday, 26 September 2024 from 8.00am-12.30pm.

The event brings together key industry leaders, stakeholders and expert representatives from both private and public sectors, as well as funders, investors and developers to consider how current infrastructure limitations hamper housing development, and assess the degree to which housing delivery rates and plans for infrastructure development impact on inward investment competitiveness.
