Sinn Féin’s housing plan is nothing if not detailed, but voters may be cautious of untested solutions
Sinn Féin’s housing plan is nothing if not detailed, but voters may be cautious of untested solutionsThe plan is nothing if not detailed, running to 107 pages – and Sinn Féin is going to press its message home quite literally, planning a nationwide mail out of an abridged version to every home in the country in the coming weeks.
Sinn Féin’s €39bn housing plan: affordable homes from €250,000, freezing rents and 300,000 new units in five yearsThe Sinn Féin riposte is they are limited to only some of the market, but inflate it for everyone. It plans to wind down or axe these schemes entirely, while tweaking eligibility criteria for others;said on Monday that another two years of Government policy would make houses €50,000 more expensive, a sobering proposition for anyone hoping to purchase a home.
It says it can produce affordable homes for between €250,000-€300,000 this way. The Coalition has dived on this policy, arguing that banks won’t write mortgages for it . They also argue, somewhat hyperbolically, that it makes traditional home ownership impossible.
