That’s good news. It will cut a lot of the red tape out of getting temporary homes in place.
I do wonder why they didn’t invoke the same legislation for a year or two for the housing crisis. A few thousand temporary homes at suitable locations for a couple of years would have made a huge difference in taking the pressure off while house building could catch up. It would have also helped to keep property prices down.
And why was it ok for people to be homeless up until now ?
Anyone got a list of the emergency powers from the article?
Behind a paywall.
Mad what this country can do when the world is watching
The worst part is what’s being built is “temporary or semi-permanent”. In a country with a housing crisis….
Could they not build 35,000 permanent houses? At least that way when those fleeing the war decide to go home again, there are still houses for people to buy and use?
This is just going to be a stick to beat the refugees are bad drum even louder.
“semi -permanent”
Pull the other one
Before people jump the gun and assume they’re suddenly going to pull apartments and 3 bed semis out of the air, It would be good to hear what semi-permanent or temporary means in the context of these refugees. That wording is key here.
I’d imagine it would mean the ability to house people and not provide more long term fixed accomodation.
The government wouldn’t do it for the homeless people already here. This just shows how they view the people here who have already paid into the system here only for it to fail them.
Why was this never done for our own citizens? We’ve had a huge housing shortage for years.
I’ve been searching for a place in Dublin with a budget of 1750 for a 1 bed apartment, yet I haven’t had any luck after sending over 100 emails.
I can’t imagine how difficult it would be for someone with an even lower budget. Every listing in Dublin receives 10k+ views.
These ‘temp’ accomodations are probably in much better condition than the bedsits/studio apartments that are going for 1500+ on daft
Fair play, get them sorted but christ he has a neck like Peter Griffin. Fat little bollox. Can’t stand him.
He needs to sort his chin and neck.
Jesus that’s some chin.
Hopefully the refugees that are not white and here years will get priority.
Hard not to see greed in his appearance and approach to politics,
one positive thing to come from this is that they might actually build housing
You’d fit two faces on that head
This is what Ireland needs.
More rental accommodation!!
For fuck sake can you wankers start building houses and not just properties to rent.
Until all landlords are out of the Dáil we have nó fucking hope at home ownership.
Quite a few in the comments missing the fact that this is the long-demanded expansion of social housing that everyone has been demanding.
I note also that O’Broin in his book uses similar wording on how he will massively expand social housing.
This is a decent experiment we should be happy with.
