Dr Dáithí Downey – New Public Housing

Dr Dáithí Downey is Head of Housing Policy, Research and Development for Dublin City Council where he also leads the Dublin Housing Observatory. In this short podcast he delivers a blistering review of our housing system, including the observation that at the current pace the Housing Assistance Payment will cost the state as much as building a new National Children's Hospital, every year, by 2025. This was recorded at NUI Maynooth as part of the New Public Housing Conference, organised by Rory. Enjoy. Join us: patreon.com/tortoiseshack
