Threats to cabinet members: Unacceptable protest plan

The ongoing, possibly escalating, housing crisis is a symptom of failed government policies, particularly the decision to stop building social housing and to rely instead on the whims of the market, developers, and financiers.

The Government response deepens that crisis. It is inadequate, far too slow and does not reflect the urgency, in thought or act, needed. There is no other issue that leaves Leo Varadkar’s administration so open to the accusation of a “posh boy” disconnect from the lives led by far too many people.
