Irish Times Inside Business

How does Ireland fix its dysfunctional rental sector?


Listen Later

In the past week, Taoiseach Micheal Martin has suggested that the Rent Pressure Zone system could be scrapped and that tax breaks could be introduced to help incentivise developers to build more apartments and houses.


Would these measures make rents more affordable for tenants? Or boost the supply of affordable new homes?


To tease out this tricky political issue, Inside Business host Ciarán Hancock was joined in studio by Dublin-based estate agent Owen Reilly and on the line by Michelle Norris, who is director of the Geary Institute for Public Policy at UCD and was a member of the Housing Commission.


Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
