As the government blocks funding for major social-housing projects, FF and FG councillors point fingers at ministers
As many as 1,325 social homes in Dublin city are at an advanced stage, with planning granted – but now with no clear funding.
In this episode, we’re asking: why aren’t we building the right homes for people? To answer that question, we’ll have to talk about land.
In this episode: short-term lets and student accommodation, which aren’t the reasons for Dublin’s housing crisis, but do tell us a few things about its nature.
There’s more people renting now in Dublin than at any time in recent history, and they’re paying more for less. This episode looks at the city’s rental sector, and those squeezed into it.
If you’re sick of the finger-pointing, and drowning in the minutiae, join us as we take a deep breath and a step back and look at how we got here, what’s gone wrong, and where we’re going.
