Social and Affordable Housing.
4:00 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)
We need to review the whole idea of affordable housing. Affordable housing was a contract with developers and was designed to keep the bubble inflated so that house prices continued to go up. It also addressed the fact that most people could not afford to buy very expensive houses. Many people now seem to view affordable housing as no cheaper than housing sold on the open market.
