Michael should have a Word with Simon Harris about the use of the State car to travel to an event commerating an organiser of shooting people in their beds.

Michael now saying in a clip today on radio we need 50,000 houses each year.
What needs to be done to achieve this.
Details please.

Build 50,000 houses?


I hope this helps.

What I am looking for is the detailed plan on how this extra 10000 will be built.
Michael hasent a notion he is just like harris and fierce sound bites but no substance

One of the biggest parts of their action on this is to increase the labour supply in the construction industry and primarily they are ramping up apprenticeships. IIRC there were 9000 new apprenticeships across all sectors last year, which I believe is more than we've ever had start. However that takes time for them to be trained and qualified, which is why you can't flick a Shinner switch and solve the housing problems over night.

The other big issue is the current Planning system, which SF has used to deliberately devastating effect to slow down in excess of 14000 units in Dublin alone since 2018.

The new Planning Reform Bill is currently going through the Oireachtas and SF tried to block its advancement just before the Dail recess, thankfully without success. This Bill will help streamline the planning process.

The one area I do want the government to address is the use of non traditional building construction, which offers an alternative to the more labour intensive block built construction industry.

Aren't we all?

Reform the local authorities zoning of land and dealing with dereliction.
Punish land and property hoarders.
Reform the planning system.
Reform the appeals system.
Limit objectors abilities to slow down delivery by years.
Increase trades apprenticeships.
Stop politicians going on about a "housing crisis" while at the same time they are helping locals to object to houses for votes.
Off-site and prefabricated construction methods.
Build higher in the cities to negate against expensive urban sprawl where transport infrastructure cannot keep up (Hello Carrigaline)
Reduce traffic dependency in traffic ruined car and parking hellholes like Douglas and build apartment's over these single storey Aldis, KFC, McDonalds etc.
Import skills and attract back skilled Irish building trades and professions.
100% tax breaks for developers who are willing to build in the cities and provide new or refurbished homes.
Keep politicians away from housing short-term government to government planning as they are all out of their depth promising all sorts of rubbish.

Just copy what they do in Finland and Austria where they can deliver quality good social housing with all the amenities in higher density developments.

Just take all their design guidelines and plans etc, translate them into English, re-print and just stick a harp on the cover.

[TD]Title: Researching public attitudes and effective communication on Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Overview:
Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) is observed as an important contributor to solving Ireland's housing and homelessness challenges. MMC Projects are frequently described in public discours as 'modular', 'rapid-build', 'prefabricated' or 'pre-fab'. These descriptors are often associated with short-term, low quality, unattractive accommodation. This research examines public attitudes to the different terms used to describe MMC and explore what approaches to communicating about MMC and specific MMC projects are more likely to engage public support or trigger hostility. It asks the question:

• What are the perceptions and attitudes of the Irish public towards MMC and how best does the housing sector and stakeholders communicate to the Irish public to win public support and minimise resistance to MMC projects both generally and in their local area?

The main objectives of the project are:

• Review the Irish and international literature on MMC including policy developments and challenges to adoption of MMC projects
• Capture and analyse perceptions and attitudes of the Irish public to MMC through qualitative and quantitative methodologies
• Capture key learnings and develop a set of recommendations about how public authorities (and other stakeholders) should talk about and present projects which plan to utilise a MMC approach

This project will offer significant insights and recommendations for stakeholders to a key housing issue of delivering sustainable, high quality homes and communities[/TD]

Modern Methods of Construction: barriers and benefits for Irish housing

This report examines the barriers to greater use of MMC in Ireland with a focus on the residential sector.

www.ciob.org

Greater use of MMC offers many potential benefits to those working within the sector and to society at large. It provides opportunities for a more sustainable built environment, better working conditions, and a more productive construction sector that can deliver high-quality homes more quickly than conventional, onsite construction. This report examines the barriers to greater use of MMC in Ireland with a focus on the residential sector. It analyses both the private and the public sectors. This is to improve delivery in terms of speed, quality, and environmental impact. Better public delivery is desirable in and of itself, but is also of interest as public sector investment can be leveraged to encourage the private sector. The report is interested in both sectors and the impact that one has on the other.

What are Modern Methods of Construction?

Modern methods of construction (MMC) is a broad term that captures a diverse range of building processes and products. The term is generally used to describe construction which takes place in a factory setting as opposed to onsite. It includes the construction of full 3-D units or modules.They are 3-D in the sense of not being flat and include the construction of rooms offsite including bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens. As they take up ‘volume’ the construction of such units is also referred to as volumetric construction. They are transported to the site and integrated with the rest of the building, often by stacking modules on top of each other. MMC also refers to the construction of flat, 2-D units or panels in a factory setting. Various types of materials are available to make 2-D panels and they are used to make walls, floors, and roofs.These are transported, assembled, and integrated with other parts of the building. A distinction is sometimes made between open panels, which are more common, and closed panels, which are more sophisticated. Open panels form the skeletal structure only, whereas closed panels include lining materials, insulation, electrical services, and other components. Materials used in2-D panelised components include timber, light steel or light gauge steel frame, precast concrete,structurally insulated panels, insulated concrete formwork (ICF), and cross-laminated timber (CLT)(DHLGH, 2023a).1The ‘modern’ part of MMC is therefore somewhat misleading. Precast concrete is widely used in Ireland and has been for some time. The same is true of timber-framed buildings. Similarly, the term offsite construction is used by many as interchangeable with MMC, but not by others. A recently published government guide lists seven categories of MMC. Category 1 is 3-D primary structural systems or volumetric MMC. Category 2 is 2-D panelised components. The remaining five categories contain mostly non-structural elements such as manufactured partition walls which are non-loadbearing, but also include onsite developments such as robotics, drones, and other innovations(DHLGH, 2023a). The figures below illustrate various forms of offsite construction. In this report, we will use MMC and offsite construction interchangeably.

He is incapable of doing or motovating anyone but is a great speaker.
I am sure he will set up a task force with all stakeholders represented.
He promoted jack chambers to finance a guy who never worked in a job and did a medical degree while a TD.
Michael is now going around the country looking for celeb candidates. He hopes this will get them into power . He is not interested on how they could improve the country but they fullfill the gender quota and can speak Irish.
