Irish bishop highlights housing crisis delaying marriage and families for young couples.

Bishop Denis Nulty of Ireland's Laois diocese has raised concerns over the country's housing crisis, which is causing many young couples to delay marriage and starting families. A survey by Accord, involving 1,000 adults, found that 84% believe the crisis is impacting couples' decisions. Almost 70% of 25-34-year-olds are delaying marriage due to housing costs, with 48% of couples citing the housing situation as the reason for postponing marriage. Accord calls for government intervention to ease the crisis and help young couples plan their futures.
