Ask anyone working in the industry and they will tell you that there are just not enough resources available to speed things up. No amount of money can quickly change the number of builders, electricians, plumbers etc that there are in the country and no amount of cut corners on planning permission can significantly increase the housing numbers.
The solution to this is infrastructure and that takes time. Years if not decades.
All this will do is throw more tax payers money at a worthless role while increasing the chances of flawed and broken houses being made with no amenities available nearby.
Does he have the magic wand to hire more workers?…
His job title should be ‘FFG Human Sacrifice’.
We need another to shift the blame to when nothing is done. The Tsar can blame the housing minister, and visa versa so everyone has an out
Is there any problem that cannot be solved with the appointment of a well paid tsar?
I thought we already have a Minister for Housing for that……
🤣
Incredibly underwhelming appointment and implementation of the role overall.
PfG originally had this role sat in the Department of the Taoiseach with overreaching power over the minister and reporting directly to the Taoiseach.
What we’ve ended up with is a watered down deputy secretary general position then add to that the McDonagh debacle surrounding his proposed appointment.
Now the grand appointee “who’s going to kick down doors” in the Ministers own words, is a Transport and Courts civil servant veteran with no housing delivery experience and no true authority. The position in essence is being a well paid punching bag.
Thats correct in that where be the land the builders and the materials. Cost are high and only will get higher if there’s a push on production assuming you can say get builders from the UK or poland etc where there are in demand there too. Pay them more. Costs go up etc.
Need facilties also. Or crime will quickly follow with board gangs. No shops. No GPs.
Then there is flooding.
The list go on. Accelerating can be done. But a tens of billion euro plan is needed
My solution take the metro money and spend it on housing.
Now we just need a transport tsar and all our problems will vanish!
Housing rasputin
Wtf is up with “tsar”?
Prepare for absolutely fuck all to come of this other than his pockets being lined. Why can we find money for everything else? If the crowd in the Dail are not corrupt then they are extremely mentally challenged.
Well i will phone my son and tell him to come home from Australia, the housing debacle is solved.
Nonsense
How many Tsars has this been now?
