Catholic Primate yet to receive letter from Minister about land for housing

“Therefore, we must all work towards resolving this crisis in the interest of the common good. In recent years, the faith sector has been particularly vocal in calling for radical action from the State in order to alleviate the housing and homelessness problem.”

“We would like a better understanding of what is out there and see how we can partner with the church in developing these lands.”Asked if he wanted the State to have first call on land the church has available for sale, he responded: “I want to have the discussions with them first. In fairness, I have seen that some approved housing bodies have had some good engagement with the churches.

More talk, no walk. This minister, this government, are useless to anyone other than themselves.

The state owned land is being sold to private developers for huge money, and there publicly trying to shame the church into giving up land. Take all the houses and apts back off all the forgien vulture funds and there will be plenty to go around

I genuinely had to do a double-take to make sure this wasn't Waterford Whispers or Mallow News. Why not revoke the bullshit pro-vulture fund legislation & introduce a vacant property/dereliction tax instead of begging?

If he would stop giving state owned land to developers we would be grand

It has to be squared with the Vatican first. Grabbing at straws.

Muppet

Lol so he can then give it to developers
