RTÉ Prime Time’s week-long focus on housing culminates on Thursday with a long-awaited debate between the Minister with responsibility for housing Darragh O’Brien and the main opposition spokesperson, Eoin Ó’Broin.
So far this week, RTÉ Prime Time has illuminated the shocking generation gap that has opened up between parents and their children when it comes to the affordability of housing. RTÉ Prime Time also surveyed the international picture, showing that Ireland is facing similar, albeit more intense housing pressure than other European countries.
On Thursday RTÉ Prime Time look at solutions. With the government’s Housing for All strategy put under the spotlight, RTÉ Prime Time asks will it produce the increase in accommodation that is needed and will younger buyers, in particular, have anything to purchase? Sinn Féin’s housing proposals call for a huge increase in local authority building and for rent caps and curbs. Will this produce more housing supply or just gum up the system in government-induced lethargy?
RTÉ Prime Time will debate these issues with the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage Darragh O’Brien and Eoin Ó’Broin, Sinn Féin’s spokesperson on housing on Thursday 3rd of February at 9:35pm on RTÉ One.
