the gross portfolio yield is now 6.2 %, while the net's just 5.0 %... which is actually flattered by a significant portion of the portfolio being located in West / Southwest Dublin (i.e. Inchicore / Tallaght direction), which tends to offer higher rental yields but less potential for capital appreciation (vs. South Dublin, for example).

portfolio, higher
yield rates, lower raw material costs and an improvement in labor and manufacturing costs.
