Dato che è stato recentemente votato dai membri degli Oireachtas come ministro delle peggiori performance, James Browne sta esprimendo le preoccupazioni per il fatto che l’obiettivo del governo di 41.000 case quest’anno sarà “impegnativo”.
Questo arriva quando Ivan Yates ha parlato questa settimana di essere stato contattato da due addetti ai lavori (una fonte del governo e un backbencher FF) per dire che la produzione prevista ora per il 2025 è scesa a soli 23.000. Il condominio è uscito da una scogliera poiché gli IDE si sono prosciugati.
Questa è la situazione in cui Browne andrà al gabinetto la prossima settimana per discutere degli emendamenti per affittare le zone di pressione. La comprensione di Yates è che il limite RPZ verrà sollevato dalla proprietà e sarà collegato all’inquilino piuttosto che alla proprietà. Quindi, nella mia comprensione, quando un inquilino se ne va, il proprietario può scegliere nuovi inquilini che in precedenza pagavano affitti alti, piuttosto che quelli che stavano pagando di meno. Questo non sarà affatto un disastro 🙄 /s

Tax breaks for land lords should sort this out! Or maybe we could increase the taxes on plane tickets to Australia? Or maybe a nice mass.
These fkin guys and their incompetence strike again…..
If this is the reality then a massive sea change in how the government tackles the housing crisis has to be declared.
The government’s political future depends on it. They would be absolutely devastated in the next election if these figures keep up, given that they have pledged 60,000 completions a year by the end of their term.
Declare a true housing emergency and focus absolutely every organ of the state towards solving this.
Has there ever been the model of a rent controlled tenant elsewhere in the world? How is that supposed to work unless they remove the process to evict(with notice) tenants forcing property owners to have tenants for life.
Sure he resigns then right?
James Browne is getting a bit shafted to be honest. The foundations for the impending calamity with commencements / completions falling off a cliff were laid under Darragh O’Brien’s tenure as housing Minister. It was well flagged that water, electricity and sewage infrastructure was not keeping pace with development and that a serious bottleneck was developing. It’s resulting in developers being unable to get authorisation to commence construction in many developments right across the country.
Darragh O’Brien did not look to get reappointed as Minister for Housing, he knew what was coming down the tracks. A cute hoor and an absolute chancer. Browne has been handed a poisoned chalice.
It seems like the government is out of ideas and aren’t going to change their approach.
Crazy how even worse it is going to get over the next few years.
There you go folks, you got what you voted for.
If they mess with rpz legislation there will be 2/3 years where they get destroyed in the polls until new supply comes in.
Reddit surprised that massive corporations don’t want to invest in building apartments to rent after shitting on landlords for the last few years
What happens when the rpz gets removed for those already renting? Can yearly rents increase as landlords see fit for tenants already renting?
It is very much worth remembering that the “target” of 41,000 homes is [less than half is what is actually required](https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2025/02/05/republic-needs-93000-new-homes-a-year-say-davy/), to begin with.
They have set an intentional target to prolong and worsen the housing nightmare, the Irish public selfishly voted for it, and now they are going to likely struggle to get even half way to that. 23,000 homes per year will be roughly 21.4% of what is actually needed.
Honestly I’m starting to get extremely fed up with this government and would be willing to actually start protesting. Another year gone by with no change it’ll be the same storey in two or three years down the road
The REITS and developer blackmail will have worked so. Preferential tax and/or tax concessions and government subsidies.
This government must directly get involved in house building. The private sector is not going to be interested in what’s good for the greater good.
*”We have turned the pov’s against each other hahahaha”*
I read a report on the Finnish government home building programme and that housing now makes up only 17% of the average Finns cost of living.
Roll out some standard patterns of homes in all sizes from one bed to family and compulsory purchase alongside rail lines and motorways. Put new stations in at intervals and express buses, expand schools and hospitals in the closest towns.
>. So, in my understanding, when a tenant leaves, the landlord may choose new tenants who were previously paying high rents, rather than those that were paying less. This won’t be a disaster at all 🙄 /s
Apartment building hasn’t fallen off a cliff due to FDI, it is the rent cap…
Capital is mobile. A German, Dutch, French, Canadian or American pension fund will invest in new apartments where the economics make the most sense. Unsurprisingly, these pension funds know more than average person on this sub and know it makes fuck all sense to invest here versus other countries.
Where did you see the bit about the rent controlled tenants?
It’s worth highlighting that the government is actively making this problem worse by having absolutely no clue what they’re going to do. If there’s one thing that scares off investment, it’s uncertainty – if you have no idea what’s going to happen with RPZs, what this Housing Activation Office is going to do, if Uisce Eireann will get enough money…why would you invest?
I actually think if the government committed to ANY policy for the next 5 years investment would tick up slightly again (no idea by how much)
The reality is the construction sector is at max capacity in Ireland at the moment. Unless they come up with a plan to import thousands of trades people nothing will change unfortunately.
“there had to be greater investment from the private sector” – he’s sitting on a 8.3 bn surplus.
Have the state build fucking houses, charge rent to make back the money.
