Description:

In this episode, Niall hosts a compelling discussion centered around the question of whether individuals should have a constitutional right to a place called home. Joining him are two distinguished guests who bring their unique perspectives to the table: Peter Dooley, the co-founder of the Dublin Renters' Union, and Karl Deeter, an American-Irish financial commentator, media pundit, and business journalist.

Peter Dooley passionately argues in favor of recognizing housing as a constitutional right. Drawing from his experience with the Dublin Renters' Union, he highlights the pressing need for affordable and accessible housing for all individuals, advocating for strong government intervention to address the housing crisis in Ireland.

On the other side of the debate, Karl Deeter offers a critical perspective. He contends that the government's mismanagement of Ireland's housing stock has directly contributed to the current housing crisis. Karl urges for a more effective approach to housing policies and calls for increased accountability from the authorities.
