Newstalk Breakfast host Ciara Kelly has suggested Irish people "can't bear the thought of not being entitled to the four-bed semi-D" and that people living in houses that are too big are part of the reason we find ourselves in a housing crisis.
Her comments came prior to a discussion with Tom Philips, a chartered town planner and professor in UCD, who revealed that Irish people are less likely to consider new types of housing in comparison to other European nations, according to an expert.
Professor Philips spoke to Ciara Kelly on Newstalk on Tuesday morning about Irish society’s attitude towards housing. Tom agreed with Ciara’s suggestion that Irish people are partially responsible for the current housing crisis due to an inability to accept alternative forms of housing, such as co-living and apartment dwelling.
