Eoin O Broin: Coalition repackages the same old housing plan, but somehow thinks it can get different results
"Evidence clearly shows the Government is a lot more interested in handing out tax breaks to developers than in providing much-needed homes Last Thursday, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael published their housing plan, their third in 10 years. It should have been a moment of hope for all those people unable to put an affordable roof over their head. Housing Minister James Browne had a real opportunity to abandon the failed policies of his party's recent past and embrace a new approach."

Evidence shows the Government prioritizes handing out tax breaks to developers over providing much-needed homes. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael published a housing plan last Thursday, their third in ten years. The plan arrived while many people remain unable to secure an affordable roof over their heads. Housing Minister James Browne had an opportunity to abandon his party’s recent failed policies and embrace a new approach. The continuity of past policies indicates a preference for developer incentives rather than direct measures to increase affordable housing supply and protect households facing housing insecurity.
