Housing strategy ‘not on scale required’ to solve crisis

The Government’s new housing strategy, released today, will “not be on the scale required” to fix the housing market crisis, according to Séan Healy, director of Social Justice Ireland.

The calls from the think-tank group came as it launched its pre-budget submission yesterday.

The group said capital funds need to be found to address the lack of social housing, and to fail to do so as a society would be “very fundamentally flawed”.
