'Lazy assumption' that Govt is 'ideologically opposed to social and affordable housing' - Murphy

Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy has dismissed a “lazy assumption” that the Government is “ideologically opposed to social and affordable housing”.

Mr Murphy said that “why that isn’t true is that when you go to the different local authorities you’ll see that certain areas haven’t recovered as well as others”, adding that what the Government has done is “change the system from developer-led planning to planning-led development”.
