Existing housing policies exclude those in need of public housing



Donegal Independent candidate Thomas Pringle says Fine Gael’s housing policies are built around the private sector, rather than the thousands of people in Donegal and across the country who are in need of housing.

“We need homes for people, not houses for profit,” he said.

He claimed Fine Gael’s Rebuilding Ireland programme invites further privatisation of housing provision rather than delivering the homes that people need in the numbers needed.

Pringle says the government must reduce its reliance on the private sector for the provision of public housing and return increased funding to local authorities for the work.
