Can the Government live up to its promises on housing?

But the State has missed its target for social homes and homelessness figures are relentlessly rising despite the imposition of a temporary ban on evictions. Housing outlook unlikely to significantly improve this year

However, there are several problems facing the delivery of houses at present according to the Cork developer.He is also calling for an increase in zoned land and believes that Government needs to improve incentives.The planning logjam at An Bord Pleanála is also something that he sees as a problem in terms of delivery.

The Commission has conducted research suggesting that between 42,000 to 62,000 homes are needed per year up to 2050.John McCartney, Head of Research at BNP Paribas Real Estate, says that housing targets need to be taken with a"pinch of salt". "Many economists would say they also drive-up prices, and there are clearly huge implications for the public finances. But these measures do help to meet households’ immediate needs and the higher prices also help to get more homes built," he says.One target that the Government did not meet last year was social housing delivery.

Wayne Stanley, Executive Director of the Simon Communities of Ireland, says it's hard to measure what impact the moratorium on evictions is having. It usually takes time for people to end up being accounted for in official homeless figures. People initially often fall into the"hidden homeless" bracket, relying on the support of family and friends, before ultimately ending up being homeless.

TommyMeskill It's failed for over 20 years so no I don't think it will fix the problem and live up to it promises

TommyMeskill Only roughly 10% of the total of what was needed for social housing in 2022 was built.

TommyMeskill Housing list has gone down by 2,633 from 61,880 to 59,247. This figure doesn't include this year's refugees or other asylum seekers. With mass immigration at over 70,000 a year for the next few years there will never be enough homes to go cover the total population.

TommyMeskill Lenders pay to high taxes. Government can not build houses.

TommyMeskill Everywhere I look I see house and apartments being built. Yet I'm baffled why we have a housing crisis. It just doesn't make sense.I've read numerous newspaper articles, I've listened to Dail debates and it seems every reason is being given except the obvious one. OPEN BORDERS!

TommyMeskill Yeah because they had total control of housing up to now! 🤣 Only now it’s a “challenge” They couldn’t resolve 10,000 housing people for the last 10 years but reckon they can house “180,000” that are arriving before the end of the year! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆

TommyMeskill Nope

TommyMeskill More houses will just encourage more immigrants , as they will be first in line for them, the housing crisis has even more variables now.

TommyMeskill Absolutely no

TommyMeskill Building houses is not the business of government.

TommyMeskill 100 years creating it dose not say they will

TommyMeskill Don't worry kids, according to our liberal betters in Ireland/clown world, importing another 2-3 million people makes absolutely no difference to the availability of housing. 🙂

TommyMeskill No chance they're useless

Bacik says that lack of information from government on asylum seekers is helping far-rightThe Dublin Bay South TD has stated that a ‘NPHET-style’ public information campaign should be launched to combat disinformation. There should be no information vacuum... this fraudulent government is hardly going to come out and admit that this is a state sanctioned invasion..so silence and media spin is the tactic. But IrelandisFull and the slow demise of the MSM continues...🇮🇪 There is nothing wrong with having concerns about the government flooding the country with people who have vastly opposite cultural norms. The government have brought this on themselves by sneaking bus loads of them into communities in the middle of the night. I’m sure we all care what that communist thinks!
