By Gráinne Ní Aodha, PAThe Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien has said pod-style accommodation has “vast potential” to house people quicker. Speaking to reporters on Friday, Mr O’Brien said government had made a decision to implement “meaningful and effective measures” in the next Budget to retain and attract new landlords. He was speaking as he opened 28 new social homes in Swords in north Dublin, to be managed by the Iveagh Trust. “As a throwback to the 1890s, we have a bit of a surprise – a sword in Swords,” Mr Guinness said. That work is under way, we’ll have 750 modular homes through the Office of Public Works (OPW).
