Episode 2039: Housing Crisis, Part 2
Back in 2018, during a previous convulsion of Ireland’s endless housing crisis, we talked to Aidan Regan of the UCD School of Politics and International Relations about the causes of – and some possible solutions to – the problem.
Super piece by @ipkehoe. Clock is ticking – there must be delivery or young people (and their parents) will (rightly)take their revenge at the ballot box https://t.co/42G0qjHHro

Today we welcome Aidan back to continue that conversation. What has changed since 2018? What remains the same? What can we do to get out of crisis? And what is about to be done to us by big changes in world politics and economics?
We talk to @Aidan_Regan about the point Irish society is at in 2018, the origins of the housing crisis, and in the wake of water charges, Repeal 8th and marriage equality, a new environment in which Irish people know they have a sayhttps://t.co/BnR43XkP9h pic.twitter.com/9yDZpAE9cu

There’s a strong sense that the direction of development in Dublin city fails almost entirely to take the city’s residents into consideration – do plans for a white-water rafting facility do anything to change that sentiment? https://t.co/ODjWZGJcse pic.twitter.com/B9hkZGNqGb
