Abstract: In this paper we provide an account of the property-led boom and bust which
has brought Ireland to the point of bankruptcy. Our account details the pivotal role
which neoliberal policy played in guiding the course of the country’s recent history, but
also heightens awareness of the how the Irish case might, in turn, instruct and illuminate
mappings and explanations of neoliberalism’s concrete histories and geographies. To this
end, we begin by scrutinising the terms and conditions under which the Irish state might
usefully be regarded as neoliberal. Attention is then given to uncovering the causes of
the Irish property bubble, the housing oversupply it created, and the proposed solution
to this oversupply. In the conclusion we draw attention to the contributions which
our case study might make to the wider literature of critical human geographies of
neoliberalism, forwarding three concepts which emerge from the Irish story which may
have wider resonance, and might constitute a useful fl eshing out of theoretical framings
of concrete and particular neoliberalisms: path amplifi cation, neoliberalism’s topologies
and topographies, and accumulation by repossession.
