Have you seen Dublin property prices?

As a Dubliner, I can tell you that very few are feeling positive effects of these ‘billions of euros.’ The EU ruling is more about a tax evasion loop hole that sees vast billions of euros passing through it, then investment of billions in any part of the economy.


Most landlords (and property owners) in Dublin are not citizens but rather foreign investors and vulture funds.

Isn't this a case where the GDPR would come in handy? She could demand a transcript of all data Amazon has collected on her. Under the GDPR Amazon can not refuse. This data should contain the reason why her account was closed. If there is an error in the data, you can demand a correction. Under the GDPR Amazon can not refuse. If the data does not give a valid reason for closing an account, it must be incomplete. A GDPR violation! Punishment for GDPR violations are rather severe, I doubt any company would take the risk.
