Varadkar won't take builders' claims apartments are financially unviable as 'truth'

Taoiseach said the housing crisis was holding the country back and causing an intergenerational division

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said the State’s Croí Cónaithe scheme, which aims to bridge the current viability gap between the cost of building apartments and the market sale price was 'crucial' for the Government in tackling the housing crisis.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said he is not going to take it as “truth” that builders cannot proceed with apartment developments because it is not financially viable.
