Interest rates over 5pc on a third of mortgages held by non-lenders, Central Bank finds
Of those, 32pc were paying rates of 5pc or more at the end of March, 2025, the research shows. That compares to the 3.77pc average interest rate on new Irish mortgages in March. Non-bank non-lenders are typically funds that bought up books of often distressed mortgages in the wake of the financial crisis more than a decade ago. In many cases the home loans they hold have been through some period of arrears or restructuring, and typically represent a riskier investment for lenders. By the same token, borrowers whose loans are held by non-lending, non-banks may be less able to switch to lower-cost lenders if they have a history of arrears. The median interest rate charged by the non-lending non-banks was 4.15pc at the end of March, though more than a fifth carried interest rates above 6.5pc – around three times higher than the European Central Bank's (ECB) main refinancing rate. While those so-called mortgage prisoners can have few options to finance away from the funds that own their debt, the data also shows non-lending funds also own some of the least profitable home loans in the market, thanks to their books of legacy tracker mortgages. More than 13pc of home loans held by the non-lending non-banks were paying interest of 0.5pc or less, compared with just a handful of bank or non-bank lender customers. Separate research from the Houses of the Oireachtas Parliamentary Research Service shows borrowers whose loans are with non-lending non-banks have seen extreme volatility in the past two years, as ECB rates have moved up and down. In June 2022, 4pc of those mortgage accounts were paying above 5pc interest. A year later that was up to around 30pc, which equated to nearly 23,500 accounts. By June 2024, around 67pc, or just over 51,000 accounts, held by non-lending non-banks were being charged interest rates above 5pc. The rates have been declining, however. In March the median interest rate on non-lending non-bank mortgages was 5.5pc. The latest Central Bank research shows non-banks that actively lend have the lowest median rates in the market, at 3.65pc, compared to banks where the comparable figure was 3.75pc at the end of March.

Number of people paying for their news rises ‘after stagnating for years', report finds
Of those with a paid subscription to a digital news service, the highest percentage sign up for the Irish Independent, at 36pc, followed by The Irish Times at 33pc, and The New York Times at 22pc. In terms of people paying for news subscriptions, the most significant gains over the last two years have been in the 35 to 44 years age group. Dr Dawn Wheatley, of Dublin City University (DCU), one of the authors of the report, said: 'The slight bump over the past year provides some optimism for news producers as the figure had stagnated since 2021. 'The current rate of payment in Ireland is double that of the UK and above the European average, so Irish news producers have reason for some optimism, even if perhaps the pace and rate of growth has not been as hoped for.' The survey finds most people in Ireland (56pc) say they are interested in news. This is the highest level since 2022, but down from a peak of 70pc during the Covid pandemic. Asked if they trust the news most of the time, 50pc of Irish people agreed The enthusiasm for news puts Irish audiences ahead of their counterparts in the UK (39pc), US (51pc) and Europe (45pc). Only 3pc say they are 'not at all interested' in news. The number of 'news avoiders' is reducing, with 41pc of those surveyed saying they 'often' or 'sometimes' avoid news, down three percentage points in the last year. Asked if they trust the news most of the time, 50pc of people agreed, compared with 35pc in the UK, and 30pc in the US. Traditional news outlets still perform well in this category. Among the most trusted brands are RTÉ News (72pc), BBC News and The Irish Times (both 70pc) and the Irish Independent (68pc). Smartphones continue to be the devices people most often use to get their news, at 77pc. Over the last decade, the number of people using tablets to get their news has remained the same. Research for the Digital News Report is done by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, at Oxford University, with analysis of the Irish data by DCU. The 'Indo Daily', the 'Irish Independent' daily podcast, was the most familiar A total of 2,000 people were surveyed in Ireland between the middle of January and the end of February, with the sample balanced by age, gender, region and education level. Eleven per cent of Irish respondents say they use radio as their primary source of news, more than in Britain (8pc) or the US (3pc). Irish audiences are also tuning into podcasts, with 12pc using them as a source of news in the last week. Podcast listeners were asked to name news podcasts they were familiar with. The Indo Daily, the Irish Independent's daily podcast, was the most cited. Social media platform X is seen as the greatest threat when it comes to false and misleading information, cited by 54pc of those surveyed, followed by TikTok and Facebook, both on 53pc.
