Generation Locked-Out

The book that has been waiting to be written – how Ireland’s housing policy has locked an entire generation out of the housing market and what we should do about it. How did we get here?

Rents in the private rental sector have risen to unprecedented levels. Housing costs in Ireland are the highest in the EU. All the while vulture funds are circling…

The property ladder has been kicked out from under an entire generation, who have no choice but to run the rental gauntlet or live with their ageing parents. And the current trajectory of housing policy means the inequality will only worsen.

So where do we go from here? How do we shift the mindset from ‘property’ to ‘homes’ and break the cycle for the disenfranchised generation?
