Housing Minister says he doesn't expect house prices to drop in short term

The Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien has admitted he doesn't see house prices dropping in the near future.

"What I've said in the past was one small comment in a number of years of debating. Most people realise that we need a lot of things to sort the housing crisis. We've published the Housing for All plan, where we plan to deliver 33,000 homes a year on average.When questioned as to what the future will look like and whether house prices will drop, Mr O'Brien replied:"Is it going to be fixed in 2022? No.

"We have a lot of people out there renting who don't want to be renting. Their rents are too high and they want stability"
