Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said"advance purchasing" will be examined as Government wants to see the building of 70,000 apartments, which have already received planning permission in towns and cities.
Mr Varadkar stated that Government wants to exceed the target of building 28,000 homes this year and to increase the annual number of constructions to 40,000. However, the opposition believes the meeting was merely an attempt by the new Taoiseach to show that he is addressing the crisis, which has resulted in more than 11,500 people being without a home.Social Democrats housing spokesperson Cian O'Callaghan believes the conference will have no immediate impact on the lives of young adults still living in their childhood bedrooms due to spiralling property prices and exorbitant rents.
Speaking on RTÉ's News at One, he said that he believes that the 2023 target of 29,000 homes can be met, but it will be challenging.

Everybody knows that if this is done either a. They won’t get built b. The post build works required will cost more than the apartments c. There will be a clause that means more will have to be paid after the fact? Right?
Always pay for your goods before you’ve even seen them 🤦🏻♂️
And immediately give them away to non nationals
Excuses equal to the Irish government
How can buying apartments mean more houses are built..? Buying and Building are 2 different things. Ireland hasn't the Tradesmen either.. Just imported unqualified labour that say they are qualified only.
When?
LeoVaradkar You are the problem
This is mad why can’t the gov just build homes like would have been done in the 60’s & 70’s when the country had no money, but build them to passivhaus standard
Not unusual practice across EU!
Will they do anything for singles/couples/families who want to buy their own home,are paying massive rents so can’t save for a deposit to buy the most modest vastly overpriced property?
And hand them over the fraudsters fresh of a plane form France, UK, Albania, Georgia etc. looking for their free house they were promised by rodericogorman... Irish need not apply. IrelandisFull
Consider When ? What’s the delay in deciding. I mean they’ve had years to think about it.
Didn't he vote against a rent increase?
Thanks Captain Obvious
Fuck it's only taken him 15 years to say what everyones been saying the entire time.
Imagine the quality of these apartments that have already been paid for. Still though, free house for somebody i suppose
That's what happens when we elect an gay man to run the country. Greedy, attenuated and yellow-bellied.
Classic example of 'Ruling by Fooling'
He has to be one of the most useless politicians we ever had the misfortune to have. awful
LeoVaradkar if only you knew someone who was in a position to do something about this!
And they wonder why bags of shite are being lobbed in their direction...
By Jesus that lad would cop shite on a white horse. What a fcuking embarrassment he really is.
This same Leo no way could not be..
Hopefully Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil can get into government and change things . 11 years under this government and no plan
To clarify I will be given the extra billions we earn every year in extra revenue and we will giving it out to our mates because why wouldn't we it's millions for me and my mates thanks public 100 years still getting kicked in the nuts and saying aren't we lucky
Too bad you don't have any journalists. They might have been able to compare and contrast this with everything he said for the last decade about housing, and deduce that he has always been lying about it. Ah well.
what did FG ever do about it?
What are you doing about it?
Well, shave my elbows and call me Mary! I hope Leo can tell us more about this new development. Sounds worrying.
Beats Malta where a house costs eighty times the annual income.
richardtgarland Broken republicans. Time to rejoin the commonwealth 👌🏻🇬🇧
No Shit Leo
That's what his leader wants... and in other news!......
You caused it Tory Boy!!!
He cannot sort out the NCT situation, nor the Driving Test situation and since he was Misister of Health was not able to provide more Hospital beds. Provide more houses?🤣😅😂 Leo and the Housing Minister, a pair of wafflers. Sinn Fein and SD crowd would be no better.
Thanks to his mass immigration policies IrelandisFull
This boy is quick.
It’s not just that the rents are high, it’s that the accommodation is often shared, between a lot of people, and quite small overall with no storage, etc…
Strip landlords of their properties. Easy. Next.
Says the landlord that stated rent is some peoples only income...
Omg we’re has this clown just come from did you only realise that now it was the same when you were minister for health haven’t a clue 😡
Leo 'state the bluntly obvious' Varadkar!!
He has said what we already know. How’s about him and his greedy cronies actually do something about it
Is this what they call gaslighting? Or is he that out of touch?
What an untrustworthy bunch of gimps
Who's fault is every bit of that?
Wankers
Only a few weeks ago he was scoffing at those emigrating saying that it was no better anywhere else. Now he's telling everyone it's 7-8 times better elsewhere. Got to love the consistency.
Scoop.
Cheaper than England
Stating the Beeding obvious! That'll fix it good man Leo
yeah we know? Is he gonna do something about it besides reiterating this statement over & over 🙄
'Housing For All' Housing for the Irish Fixed that for you.
Just up the road from me are some new purpose-built small studio apartments — monthy rent €2120!
How long, how long must he sing this song?
In other news, water is wet. What did you think HAP payments would do to rental prices, instead of providing separate, proper, actual social housing? I still don’t want a referendum to remove the right to private property or give the State even more sweeping powers over housing
What’s the action after addressing the elephant!? 🙄🙄
Pity lord LeoVaradkar was never in government in the past 12 years Oppps the corrupt crook was and is part of the problem
Sure what’s another 70k Ukrainians
'Oh no!! If it isn't the consequences of our own actions'
Nooo way, really ...
The narcissist is spoofing again
If not this year for the already 70 thousand planning approved properties, then maybe next, he does know its January, seems to be kicking the can down the road.
Roses are red. And?
To clarify, he knows this is bad, right?
Gosh! How on earth did that happen?!? If only Fine Gael had been in government over the past 12 years I bet this wouldn’t have happened! tool
No shit Leo. You created this.
Well done Leo👏👏 Not often people can state the obvious. Oh wait, that happens literally all the time outside of the government
Your stating the obvious as usual what are you going to do about it fuck all as usual
Stop importing bogus asylum seekers. We're a soft touch. Even Ukrainians admit it. IrelandisFull
Imagine that leotheleak 👀👀
And who’s steered the ship? Talking like it’s a surprises his parties failures led us here
Did he discover that recently?
Oh really RTE ?
