ENDING THE HOUSING CRISIS

ENDING THE HOUSING CRISIS

The current political establishment have managed to engulf our country with a huge housing crisis. Many young adults cannot afford a home of their own because of rent and house price inflation. There has also been a rise in precarious or insecure employment. Supply and demand need to be addressed to get a handle on the housing crisis. The population of Ireland has increased by one million in the last 20 years. This influx into the country has added to already overstretched housing demand. It also keeps rent and housing prices artificially high putting strain on many families around the country.

Many of our elected politicians and policy makers have refused to recognise the strain that uncontrolled immigration causes and the role it plays in our current problems.
