Modular homes on your own property is a good idea, as is giving staged grant payments to those buying older properties. Allowing farmers to build homes on their own land for family would help a bit too.
It's going to take a bit of thinking outside of the box to ease the pressure while awaiting new builds.

Just what we need. A population that continues to be too far apart from each other. Let them pay the true cost of water, waste and electricity connections. We need to be banning once off builds entirely unless you’re replacing an already existing house.

James Browne seems to be open to new ideas, get up get on up, get get on up

The idea that modular homes [sheds] in back gardens could form part of a solution to housing is such a bad idea it's laughable.

Farmers sons and daughters can still build on their own land even if rules are tighter but that has it's own problems as regards services.

I see there's a house for sale in Durrus for 525k and it's being marketed as a suitable holiday home, so locals are priced out of the market for such homes which will end up being bought up by cash rich professionals and will sit empty for much of the year. Holiday homes should be taxed at a prohibitive rate as to force owners of such to sell up, think of the amount of homes that would free up, it would also help bring down prices.

We need radical steps for sure but that should include measures that lower house prices.

I absolutely agree with that, we all heard them during the recent power issues due to that storm, coming out with " this would not happen in Dublin "
Well of course not, because chances are, most of the lines there are underground.
The sense of entitlement is something else with these people, they think they can build where ever they like and that they should be subsided. As in paying the same as us who live in urban areas.

I do not believe any place in this country is so remote that if people wanted to stay in the same areas as they grew up in, that they should be only be allowed build a home in the local village or town.
Not this scatter all over the countryside.

Liars, each and every one of them.

If the state of housing didn't make them take their vote elsewhere, a few thousand houses here and there would have made no difference.

Mehole saying he didn't deceive the electorate even though he did was even funnier.

Neck like a giraffe that fella.
