Housing crisis ‘blighting the lives of tens of thousands of people of this country’
Mr Boyd Barrett said the report was “the latest evidence of the absoultely epic, shocking failure of the government to address the housing crisis that is blighting the lives of tens of thousands of people of this country”.
“This really reveals the big lie that the government have been telling people, that they are ramping up the delivery of housing. The truth is, in the epicentres of the housing crisis… local authorities built nothing at all in the first half of this year.” Speaking with reporters later in the morning, Social Democrats education spokesman, Dublin Central TD Gary Gannon, said there was a “crisis” in teacher supply, with school principals telling him that it was difficult to keep some classes operating.
