  1. Very promising and would put a big dent in the backlog of houses needed in this country. At very least will put pressure on government to deliver similar.

    Fine Gael and Fianna Fail will probably promise similar and deliver 1/5th of the stated targets.

    I do enjoy these proposals often it skips where they’re getting the money from when it’s reported. I know it’s usually from loans or raising taxes.

  3. It’s funny how this sub will complain about housing yet often shit on Sinn Feins housing plans. If you want an actual change from FFG housing plans this is your only viable alternative. I’m not a massive fan of their other policies but the other opposition parties are on like 4% so this is your best option if you want housing policy change.

  4. Stop all HAP, help to buy and grant schemes as they increase demand. Defund NGO, foreign aid and IPAS to raise capital. Ban councils from buying houses. Declare housing emergency.  Force investment funds to resale all stock back into the market over 5 years. Streamline planning process. Make barrier for objection higher/prevent bogus injections. And still fuck it up

    Interesting. FFFG have been in power forever. They screwed up on housing.
    FFFG took part in the car crash a of Irish housing and scoff at other ideas.
    Perhaps it’s time to disband the old guard.
    AI has progressed a lot…..costs are a lot less.

  6. Offer 39billion for housing knowing that all the applications and plans will be objected to and never happen anyway. Sly geniuses.

    Be nice if a party could focus on building up. Affordable decent apartment complexes. Enough with the fuckin skyline at this stage.

    They’d also need to stop telling their politicians to contribute to the problem by, like all other parties, objecting to reasonable developments over spurious local complaints.
