Ó Broin wants to see government targets for new homes independently reassessed and greatly increased, with a much larger focus given to public housing.

“We also know that most independent expert advice from academics, from industry, and non-governmental agencies estimate that we need at least 50,000 new homes a year,” Ó Broin said.

In his view, more than half of the new homes that are required need to be public homes.

‘Increased Adoption of Modern Methods of Construction in Public Housing Delivery’.

“Whatever minutes you want to be able to walk around, I don’t mind. But I prefer the idea of people being able to live within walking distance of where they work, where they play, and where they educate,” Ó Broin said.
