*”Next on RTE 1, the renter games, watch as these would be renters compete in multiple challenges, to see who will become the ultimate renter”*
Just quick glance on these numbers tells you all you need to know. We have a housing and rental crisis!
Yet we’re out burning cash on trying to tempt Irish people home who’ve their back on this country!? Why aren’t we incentivizing those who we’ve added to the population to put building skills to work? Surely there’s a few trades among them?
Jees, would anyone know how they would decide who too chose from all the applicants, im guessing its not on a first come first server basis?
We’re Cooked
The most absurd part of this, and there’s a few candidates for the honour, is that a development that small was allowed to go ahead. Absolutely absurd not to be at the very least doubling the density
Almost like theres too many people for the supply or something. I know what will fix it lets increase our population by 2% again this year.
The government need to fully take over the building of homes for people, forget private landlords, it’s nonsense and doesn’t work. FF/FG have proved they have no willingness or intention to look after sorting the mess they created. Vote Left and let’s give someone else a go
Cost Rental – similar to the Vienna Model of Housing – is 100% the solution to the rental disaster.
However, for the last 40 years governments have tried everything BUT this, a cynic might say they want to make rental property an investment, instead of a not-for-profit cornerstone of a functioning housing system.
They have tried enriching small landlords, vulture funds, pension funds, lawmakers – but only Cost Rental works for tenants. The proof is in the massive over-subscription of every single Cost Rental offering.
If investors want to take a punt on house prices, let them do it with their own family homes, not by using others’ rented properties as commodities.
Let’s use the money from the Sovereign Wealth Fund to fund Cost Rental. If not for that, then what?

Best of luck to those on too much money to be on the social housing list but not enough for cost rental
Everyone’s boomer parents: “Sure if they just saved a little they would be able to buy something there”
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
These cost rental schemes should be limited to Irish citizens (whether born here or naturalised), or at least priority given to Irish citizens, as there are many Irish people forced to live at home or in house shares and they should be given the opportunity to put their names in for a lottery along with other Irish citizens for what’s a potentially life changing opportunity – it’s extremely unfair on them that individuals who’ve only moved here within the past couple of years or so can also add to the competition and demand on these limited resources. I would never expect to be able to avail of something like this ahead of a citizen of a country that I moved to, especially one with a housing crisis and population of young people as hopeless and desperate and disregarded as what we have in Ireland.
Only after that initial panel of prospective tenants has been exhausted should non citizens become next available tenants for consideration.
