Clear difference between outgoing Coalition and the parties on the left over how to use the money to address the housing crisis
Arguably one of most consequential decisions the incoming government will make is what to do with the €14.1 billion in. The money should all have arrived in the State coffers by early next year and it will be the responsibility of whoever is in power to get the most out of this potentially transformative amount of money.
The last three fall into the realm of long-term investment and as a result are unlikely to yield much of a political dividend in the short term. The plan to pump money into the LDA is more complex and politically appealing. The single biggest point of difference is on housing. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil want to fund the continued subsidisation of private home construction and ownership. Sinn Féin and Labour plan the creation of a State asset instead; either a large body of State-owned housing or a State-owned housebuilder
