Micheál Martin suggested a new Strategic Housing Activation Office may be led by someone from the public sector without added salary costs. Brendan McDonagh, the frontrunner and Nama boss, will aim to expedite housing construction, an area historically under his purview. Sinn Féin, led by Mary Lou McDonald, condemned the high salary for the position as an affront to taxpayers amidst rising housing costs and unmet targets, portraying it as indicative of governmental failures in housing policy. Mr. Martin maintained successes in housing targets over recent years despite missed future ambitions.
As prices and rents climb, while the Government misses its housing targets year after year, the administration's answer was 'another bureaucrat on an eye-watering salary'.
This was the clearest admission of failure, creating Ireland's most expensive job-share in response to a housing crisis.
