While it seems that the Docklands are a prime area to continue advancing the economy in Dublin and create job opportunities, it also seems that the rapid development could be a hazard to the business cycle. Such a rapid level of development is changing the natural business cycle rapidly, and may be unsustainable. As Dr. Kelly explained, when the housing crisis of 2008 hit the world economy, Ireland was very drastically effected. For example, the apartment Dr. Kelly owned that was valued at nearly 300,000 euro in 2007 was cut to a value of 90,000 euro after the housing collapse. The bubble that such a rapidly changing area creates is an unsustainable model for those involved in the local economy. An accelerated business cycle could also mean that the natural rate of unemployment fluctuates wildly and, in turn, the interest rates would fluctuate proportionately. While increased development is by all means a desirable trait for any economy, in doses this high, it could be dangerous to the people within that economy.
