How does Ireland fix its dysfunctional rental sector?
Manage episode 466344836 series 2284665
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.
