• There is no shortage of unrealised residential planning permissions - 40,000 homes w permission in Dublin alone
• Vexatious objections carry 0 weight in planning decisions & are in fact liable for legal action

• #BuildToRent is a specific (lobbied for) housing typology, defined as being aimed at short term accommodation for “young mobile workers”
• The opt outs from basic liveability standards allowed for BTR schemes renders them particularly unsuitable for Part V social housing

• Opt outs from standards ensure BTR has become the predominant form of new development in Dublin (82% of resi schemes in planning in 2020)
• Most new Part V social housing will be unsuitable by its very design
• This has been consistently raised by Dublin City Council

Remember these facts next time any party that has propped up FG’s failed housing policies comes crying wolf about the opposition “playing politics” with housing.

The sad reality is the cause of the #HousingDisaster is failed housing policy supported by failed politicians.
