Image: PA OVER 100 NEW cost-rental homes were launched today by Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien, who committed today to delivering a lot more rental units in the coming months.

A significant number of homes have already been completed and have been sold to individual purchasers and first-time buyers.Launching the new cost-rental homes in Clondalkin, the minister said over 900 cost-rental units have been approved already, but he acknowledged that the rental crisis is “acute”.

“I think we need to have another go at housing really, and seeing what we can do. Because while our plans are working, they’re not working fast enough and that’s very obvious to me,” he said. “I don’t think so. Let’s put it this way. Through Housing for All we’re going to deliver affordable homes for purchase through local authorities for the first time in a generation.

He said there are regular meetings with the Taoiseach, Tánasite and the Cabinet Sub Committee on Housing “to make sure that we keep an eye on Housing for All and how it’s delivered”.

I wonder how many of the new occupants are Irish? Those figures would say a lot

Cost rental and acute? Think he needs to do the maths on what a mortgage costs and chronic is the better word not acute.

Darragh just insulted the whole country by saying the rental crisis is acute. We don't need politicians who insult our intelligence like this.

More future slum’s

The open-border crisis . ... that's all there is. Nothing else.

Dare I ask if my taxes are being garnished & used towards this latest effort of the government to interfere with the housing market? Or are questions of that nature now seen as unwelcome, dangerous rhetoric by our gracious & glorious government overlords?
