Bryan Dobson: In the worst housing crisis for generations, why has this 299-home development been left idle?
"If you want an example of how our dysfunctional property and housing market has failed those who need a home, consider the sorry tale of the Camden Yard development on Kevin Street Lower in Dublin 8, which has been mothballed for the last year-and-a-half. Originally in public ownership and in an area with an acute need for ­social housing, the site was sold to private developers in 2019 for an ­office and apartment scheme. ­"

Work on the Camden Yard development on Kevin Street Lower in Dublin 8 has been stalled for 18 months while the number of people in emergency accommodation continues to rise. The site was originally publicly owned and lies in an area with acute need for social housing. The property was sold to private developers in 2019 for an office and apartment scheme, but the development has been mothballed for the last year-and-a-half. The situation exemplifies failures in the property and housing market that leave housing need unmet despite available sites.
