Billionaire financier Dermot Desmond and Sinn Féin’s housing spokesman Eoin Ó Broin have discussed the housing crisis following the investor’s analysis of the property market’s failings. Mr Ó Broin said he was “very interested in meeting anyone who has anything constructive to say”. Mr Ó Broin said he would “welcome an opportunity to meet with him and discuss more”. In his article, Mr Desmond raised concerns about the capacity of ordinary workers to access the housing market, as well as the wider financialisation of housing stock. Mr Ó Broin said he had committed to sharing material and reports from the Oireachtas housing committee and other research he had done himself with Mr Desmond.
