The Irish Government Still Has No Idea Now it Will Fix the Rent Crisis - 11/11/2025
from The Agenda
How will Ireland fix its rental crisis?Everyone knows the situation is out of control, with spiralling costs and a chronic shortage of supply. But what isn’t acknowledged very frequently is that Ireland has no clear goal it’s working towards to make the situation better.For example – do we want rent prices to fall? If so, by how much? And over what time frame? Or – is the aim just to slow rent increases, so it’s below wage growth? That’s one way to boost affordability.But if that’s the goal, again the question is – how much should rents increase by? And how long will it take to make them more ‘affordable’?We were joined on The Agenda this morning by Sinn Fein TD & spokesperson on housing, Eoin O Broin, who is going to talk to us about what he believes should be done to fix the rental crisis in Ireland.
