As Ireland’s General Election approaches, Fine Gael has unveiled an ambitious housing strategy, aiming to build 41,000 homes next year and increase that number to 60,000 by 2030. This plan, led by Simon Harris and Paschal Donohoe, involves investing €10 billion from Apple tax revenues, while addressing workforce shortages in construction. Proposed enhancements include expanding the Help to Buy scheme and the First Home Scheme to second-hand properties. Both Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil are set to share their housing policies soon, indicating a growing political focus on the housing crisis.
