Thanks to Threshold for hosting an engaging discussion on Ireland’s housing system. Mary and Fianna Fáil are committed to increasing the proportion of social and cost-rental housing to 20% of the national stock.
Cost rental is a new housng model introduced by Fianna Fáil in government. Rents are at least 25% below market rates. It provides tenants with long term security at an affordable price. There are 2,000 families living in cost rental across Ireland.
