Housing for All reliance on firms criticised

Housing For All, a nine-year strategy outlining the Coalition's response to the housing emergency, has finally been launched

The Government's €20 billion plan to solve the housing crisis has been sharply criticised for relying on "meaningless" figures for private sector development and a failure to introduce measures to attract the 27,500 workers needed to deliver it.

Housing For All, a nine-year strategy outlining the Coalition's response to the housing emergency, has finally been launched. The document says 156,000 of the 300,000 promised homes will be delivered by private developers.
