Dear Minister O' Sullivan,
There are apparently circa 260'000 private landlords in Ireland who own the roofs under which half a million renters remain effectively 'homeless'.
Find out which of these landlords are in dire negative equity, release them from it and allow the renters to buy their own homes at written down affordable social housing prices.
When people own their own humble homes they will take pride and spend money on them which will increase economic activity and the ubiquitous 'jobs' factor.
It's not rocket science and it will kick off the economy when hundreds of thousands of renters are released from endless rental hell. It won't do Labour's electoral profile any harm either.
Regards, Paul Newsome.
