David attended the launch of Progress Ireland, a new think tank launched by Sean Keyes and a team of colleagues. The think tank believes in “unlocking Ireland’s potential” in the areas of housing, infrastructure and innovation.
We discuss the wider issue of Ireland’s budget surplus, termed a “luxury problem” recently in the Financial Times. Corporate tax posted another set of strong receipts in August, giving the government room in the budget.
Sinn Féin has launched its new housing policy. Government critics say it’s not real home ownership if the state owns the land beneath your house. We discuss this and ask if unwinding so many government initiatives in housing will really happen. Is 300,000 too few homes?
