@ebenezzers bet getring closer every day
Thought Quagmire Chambers was next up?
If ever there was a case of failing upwards then this, if it comes to pass, will be a classic. Moving from a basket case department with massive housing shortages and record homelessness to delivering a give away budget the likes of which havenāt been seen in a decade and a halfš¬
While I donāt think OāBrien has been good by any means, the major damage was done by Coveney and Murphy. They created the housing crisis and have escaped the flak for it.
You mean that Murphy who has gone from Irish politics?
You really donāt understand the issue if you think it was seeded in 2016.

It was seeded long before 2016 but could have been arrested before it became as extreme as it is now. Successive FG housing ministers when the crisis was first predicted, during its onset and exacerbation all fiddled. The current housing crisis is wholly a result of FG policy.
Except not really.
Irelandās new housing supply was back at EU average levels by 2018.
They have been way ahead the last 3-4 years.
The problem is from 2010 to 2018 where there is at least a missing 100,000 as building plunged.
In fairness, Rory Hearne called this in 2015, before it became cool. Iām assuming you were in the āwe built too manyā camp back in the early 2010s.

Coveney did little except rent control which was poor policy but egged on by the left.
Murphy did a lot and the ramp in supply is reflective of that.
Alan Kelly is actually the one who gets away with criticism. Iām assuming because @glasagusban wants the Progressive Alliance to go ahead.
In saying that, Kelly wanted to bring apartment standards to close to where Scandinavian countries have them and there was outrage.
Dumb rating.
The current crisis could and should have been headed off but successive FG ministers declined to do anything useful.
Itās rare youād see anything like this actually, a crisis wholly a result of one partyās policy.
The minister who was in for less than 2 years between all those ffg ones is the lad who did the damage? The lad who brought in legislation to make planning faster? Hmmmm serious blue tinted glasses thereā¦
