Housing is undoubtedly the biggest domestic issue on the political agenda right now, with a focus recently on the long commutes being faced by workers in certain key roles in Dublin. So, it is perhaps timely that a new report has been launched with a potential solution to this thorny issue.
Authored by veteran businessman Paschal Taggart and young law graduate Luke Cantwell, the report has suggested that the State should shave 10 per cent of land off Dublin’s major parks that could free up 450 acres that could be used to build apartments for up to 80,000 key workers – that’s guards, teachers, nurses and others with key roles in the workforce who find themselves priced out of the Dublin market for accommodation.
It's a left-field idea, but will any politician give it their public support?
