Rory Hearne: Government policy has turned Generation Rent into a revenue-generating asset for cuckoo funds

Investment funds are not delivering housing as a home, Rory Hearne writes as part of the Irish Examiner's series on youth unemployment

To provide homes for Generation Rent and to ensure living, thriving, integrated and diverse, communities for the Ireland of the future, the Government’s Housing for All plan needs to provide a large supply of genuinely affordable homes to buy and rent,

Renters should have a right to an affordable, secure, decent standard home.
