Episode 254. From Crisis to Chaos: Is the Housing System Beyond Repair?

In this episode, I confront the accelerating dysfunction in Ireland’s housing system. I explore why the traditional narrative that paints landlords as villains is flawed and how the exodus of landlords is shrinking rental supply, driving rents to unsustainable levels. I dive into the unintended economic consequences of this landlord exodus and the knock-on effects it has on recruitment, foreign investment, and job growth.

The episode also tackles the failed appointment of a “housing czar” and the political gridlock stalling progress, as well as the economic warning from Ireland’s Central Bank governor. I question whether we’re truly facing a crisis—or has it now become chaos?

Takeaways

• The vilification of landlords is damaging the rental market and shrinking supply.

• A functional housing system must serve renters as well as owner-occupiers.

• 30% of Q1 2025 property sales were landlords exiting the market; only 8% were landlord purchases.

• A net 22% decline in rental stock is unsustainable and driving rent inflation.

• Professional and corporate relocation is being hindered by the lack of rental options.

• The government’s political infighting derailed the appointment of a housing leader (housing czar).

• We need a CEO-level figure with a PLC skillset to solve a €17.5B housing shortfall.

• Ideology must give way to pragmatic solutions—fast.

• Economic headwinds (e.g., US tariffs) increase the urgency for housing reform.

• The system needs to serve all families—not just those with mortgage approval.
