Fine Gael has announced a plan to address Ireland’s housing crisis, aiming to build 41,000 homes next year, increasing to 60,000 by 2030. The party will invest €10 billion of Apple tax revenue into housing initiatives, including expanding the Help to Buy scheme and the First Home Scheme to second-hand homes. Despite these efforts, experts point out that the proposed numbers fall short of the estimated 70,000 homes needed annually. As the campaign heats up, rival parties like Sinn Féin are expected to reveal their housing policies soon.
