#49: Considering the housing crisis in Ireland, is the build to rent housing model fit for purpose? Across 10 proposed development sites in Tallaght which are made up of 3,055 apartment units, 1,700 are build to rent.
On this discussion show, Councillors Alan Edge, Emma Murphy and William Carey debate if the supply is meeting the specified housing demand, how one-in-four people are cutting back on food and heating due to financial constraints brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, and if teachers should be higher up the coronavirus vaccine priority list.
