The Government’s major plan to tackle the housing crisis is to be delayed, possibly until September. Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien had hoped to publish the Housing for All plan next Tuesday, but a spokesperson has confirmed it is now delayed. “For all their faults at least Fine Gael had a housing plan published within 100 days of taking office. “Meanwhile rents increase, house prices increase, social housing output remains glacial and homelessness remains stubbornly high. It’s time the Minister & the Government started to treat the housing crisis with the urgency it deserves.”
