Wednesday 05 November - Ireland’s Housing Crisis: 15 More Years?

Housing Minister James Browne has played down claims that it could take 15 years to end Ireland’s housing crisis — even though the estimate comes from the Department of Finance. A new mapping exercise suggests the shortage could persist into the 2040s, until building finally catches up with demand.

Joining Kieran Cuddihy to debate the government’s response and what it means for homebuyers:

-Fine Gael TD Naoise Ó Muirí

-Social Democrats TD Sinéad Gibney

-Executive Editor, Irish Independent Kevin Doyle

-Solicitor & Planning Law Expert Fred Logue

Kieran Cuddihy is joined by Professor of International Politics, Clinton Institute UCD, Scott Lucas for analysis.
