Older people quizzed on downsizing to gauge interest in financial and property incentives

The Government is making a fresh push to entice older people to move out of family homes and free up housing by gauging their interest in a series of financial and property incentives in the run-up to the next budget.
The Irish Examiner has learned that that the Department of Housing and the Department of Finance are surveying older people for their views on downsizing as part of research due to be completed in September, just weeks before Budget 2020.
