Housing for All plan will aim to reduce house prices in Dublin

Government seeks to reach target of €250k to €325k homes in the capital as part of its plan to address Ireland's housing crisis

Speaking at today's sod-turning at a new wastewater treatment plant in Wicklow, Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien dubbed the new policy Ireland's first fully-funded housing announcement. 

The Government's Housing for All plan will aim to reduce house purchase prices in Dublin to between €250,000 and €325,000 as part of a drive to improve affordability as well as supply. 

Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien will seek full Cabinet approval of his Housing For All strategy on Thursday morning, sources said, with a full launch likely on Thursday afternoon. It comes after a lengthy meeting of the Cabinet subcommittee on housing today.
