      Interesting highlight re planning:

      “Our analysis shows that between 2018 and 2024, planning was submitted for just under 200,000 units in Strategic Housing Developments (SHDs) and Large-scale Residential Developments (LRDs).”

      “Our figures show schemes accounting for almost 42,000 units (21%) were refused, a further 27,000 (13.5%) were subjected to judicial reviews and 11,000 (5.5%) are awaiting decision.

      In the end, schemes with just over 112,000 units or 56% of total applications received usable permissions.

      Wasn’t their people here last year…well the last ten years telling us the government would exceed their incredibly low targets by year end.

      How’s that working out.

      Changing the planning laws last year will presumably result in a large number of developments which had planning under the old regimen not now being built, with new planning applications instead being submitted under the new, more favourable act for higher density builds.

      Important to note that the firm making these claims in the article would gain significantly from streamlining of the planning process.

      Its not an independent report.

      It is like Ryanair or Aer Lingus releasing a report saying flights “COULD” be delayed unless regs are loosened for airlines.

      We have two choices:

      1. Fundamentally change our planning system

      Or

      2. Accept house prices will rise and rise and the crisis will get worse and worse.

      Both valid choices, but if we’re not willing to do 1, let’s not expect anything other than 2.

      Surely FF/FG knew they didn’t reach their targets during the run up to the election and…….. lied to voters.

      Shocker

      They’ve spent their time lying to the Irish people everyday, yet the majority voted them back in. The country voted for more of the same.

      Soo, here is more of the same! 🤷‍♂️

      There is absolutely no point in giving out it, this is what the country voted for!!!

      Commonsense would have told you this was happening….

      They were using house starting metric with 12 months, to bullshit through, without explanation of what that metric measured and the media gobbled it up unquestioned

      But seemingly this is what people want and vote for….ever worsening crises

      So all those targets that FG and FF said they were exceeding during the election have miraculously failed once they got back into government?

    10. Oh_I_still_here on

      Hey FF/FG voters, thanks for more of the status quo. Go fuck yourselves.

    11. Imbecile_Jr on

      That’s what we voted for, isn’t it? More of the same failed FFFG policies? Their corruption and ineptitude? What a fucking embarrassment.

      The pipeline of planning is a huge issue. Worth noting that we are currently constructing at the fastest rate in the EU – building 6 homes per 1000 population, vs 3 homes per 1000 population on average across the EU.
