That first paragraph is a right kick tho the bollix to the government
“The housing crisis cannot be solved overnight” was almost 10 years ago.
honestly i have no idea why FF/FG have such a massive horn for replicating the property bubble, or why it’s getting them votes
those policies just totally ran the country into the ground. even the upper middle class ppl who complain about being taxed, are only paying so much tax because of those stupid policies
irish ppl seriously need a referendum to give everyone the right to housing in the constitution, and they seriously need the councils to start actually start building
it’s absolute insanity to have the council using tax money to bid against private buyers like investment funds at private auctions. even when the council do build something, they use tax money to hire for-profit contractors
> He said of the 20,433 new homes built last year just 5,698 (28 per cent) made it on to the open market when those purchased by the State, those acquired by build-to-rent investment funds and single, one-off dwellings are removed. This compares with just over 7,000 in 2020. “So as output [over the last five years] has gone up by close to 50 per cent, the amount of housing coming to the market has gone down by the same amount,” he said.
Mental.
