Luxury apartments which went up for sale last year in two Dublin 4 apartment blocks will now be offered as rentals, as sales failed to materialise in line with expectations.

Apartments at the 19 Pembroke Road block were originally priced from €650,000 for a one-bedroom unit up to €1.1 million for a two-bed penthouse. Renters can now expect to pay from €3,000 per month.

Ian Guider, markets editor of The Business Post, discussed this story and more in the business news, including:

• Insurance company FBD says it made a profit of at least €100m last year, double the previous years
• Central Bank won't give cost of inquiry into Michael Fingleton
