European Commission vice-president Frans Timmermans has promised European aid to help tackle Ireland’s housing crisis.
Mr Timmermans who is seen as a contender to replace Jean-Claude Juncker as president of the incoming Commission at the end of this year, said housing was an EU-wide issue and should have an EU-based solution. He said “we need to build more social housing we need to do it urgently. “I want to have a direct conversation with the councils or with the cities because the most successful model I’ve discovered is Vienna where 60 per cent of the housing is subsidised. It is not all social housing, it is all subsidised and in public property. You have a housing crisis in all European cities now because parents are saying children can not live in their own cities anymore”.
Oh I’m scared of this. When the EU freely gives something out you can rest assure there is something behind the move. On the other hand when the EU is dealing with a bunch of incompetent politicians like the Irish then you can rest assure the EU knows exactly what it is doing.
I was convinced this was a Waterford Whisper headline. Needed to double check.
