How could anyone disagree with our president’s claim that the country’s housing policy is Ireland’s “great, great failure”... unless of course you helped cause the “disaster”?
In what was a remarkable speech this week Michael D Higgins laid it on the line and while without saying so explicitly, he pointed out that this and previous Irish Governments have failed the people.
When he said “housing, and the basic needs of society, should never have been left to the marketplace” he was pointing the finger at the current and previous administrations which did just that.
