No. The way they have a Housing Executive in Northern Ireland. https://www.nihe.gov.uk/About-Us/Our-Mission-Vision/Our-Mission-Values

Relying on the charity sector to build affordable houses with FFG developers creaming off the top isn't working.

https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/20000-northern-ireland-households-are-now-homeless-37719853.html

Nearly 20,000 households are recorded as homeless, new figures have revealed.

SDLP councillor Paul McCusker, who obtained the statistics from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE), said they showed a system that was not fit for purpose.

That was not the question asked. Here it is again:

You mean, like the ones we have had since 1992, of which there are now over 500?

Maintaining and building are not the same thing.

Nieve, their supporters are not going to happy with that.

What do you mean? From voting data it is obvious that young people (i.e., their supporters) are supporting SF because of their housing policy. To keep them happy, what they have to do is improve affordable housing opportunities because the present FFG policy is not working for them.

Surely this is proof positive that the model of letting developerr build the social housing is a farce,and state should build them,like everything else privitisation it leads to taxpayer getting fleeced

County Councils are stuck with FF/FG housing policy. Nothing anyone can do about that except go along with it. I hope someone was speaking up about the 3 bed apartments that were going to cost DCC 800K in Sheriff Street which is a policy handed down by FG and endorsed by FF.

Nonesense. Local Authorities are responsible for the provisioning social housing first and foremost. Left wing parties like SF have been most ready in voting down and objecting to developments that will lead to new units and houses coming on stream.
Not to mention they like to complain about the property tax, cut it by the allowed 15% then complain that they don't have money for services.....

https://www.irishtimes.com/business/commercial-property/glenveagh-to-charge-council-up-to-791-500-for-family-apartments-1.4456642

The Glenveagh development has nothing to do with the government, that is a deal between the builder and DCC. It is expensive granted, but get onto your local councillor if you want to complain. I am sure SF have some magical way of getting cheap €50,000 3 bed houses built all around Dublin.

And what exactly would that entail.

We have seen SF dominated councils in Dublin do nothing for housing and in fact, have been very anti-development.

One cannot simply state that doing something different to FF/FG will magically solve housing issues with any form of credibility.

While RBB usually makes good points and is undoubtfully intelligent....he's a bit too fond of his own voice for my liking

PM is a fairly serious operator and it would be a foolish person,take him for granted.
