The Government is making a fresh push to entice older people to move out of family homes and free up housing by gauging their interest in a series of financial and property incentives in the run-up to the next budget. The survey was commissioned in collaboration with the Department of Finance and the Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service (IGEES). What financial incentives or initiatives would encourage them to do so? The Department of Housing said the survey’s “random sample” involves knocking on doors until the target of older people is reached. He said his office had been getting calls from people who were “genuinely worried and angry” asking, “will euthanasia be next?”
