Irish mortgage drawdowns improve 40% in first quarter
Dublin

Irish mortgage lending collapsed following the bursting of a property bubble in 2007 and a recovery over the last three years that has picked up significantly in recent months has coincided with a chronic housing shortage throughout the country.
