It is the End Of the Year Show 2020, a look back at some key moments in architecture and design and the world in which they operate in Ireland in 2020. In the first of four short episodes Emmett Scanlon talks to Dr. Lorcan Sirr, Senior Lecturer in Housing at TUD, Dublin. Lorcan identifies some key events that took place in housing in Ireland in 2020,  from the formation of a new Government, to the arrival of a seventh Minister, to the ban on co-housing, the further financialisation of housing and a ray of hope from Europe.
