The Sunday Independent's View: Time is running out for the Government to get a grip on housing
Briefly

As the Coalition reaches its midpoint in the first year, reflections reveal a mixed performance. Criticized for seeming ineffective, the administration grapples with significant challenges, including the impact of international tariffs and global conflicts. Simultaneously, domestic issues such as the housing crisis are not being adequately addressed. The Central Bank’s revised forecasts indicate a concerning shortfall in housing construction, undermining goals to meet the growing demand for homes. The summer legislative agenda includes addressing critical issues, but the failure to resolve housing supply remains the pressing failure of the Coalition.
The Coalition government is facing criticism for failing to adequately address pressing domestic issues, particularly the housing crisis which continues to escalate as building forecasts are lowered.
Despite challenges such as international tensions and tariffs, the government must prioritize domestic affairs and tackle the critical shortage of housing effectively.
