Fianna Fáil’s Robert Troy proposes giving social housing priority to workers, sparking debate over housing access in Ireland.
Fianna Fáil’s Robert Troy proposed prioritizing working people for social housing in Ireland, arguing that work should lead to better housing outcomes.
The Department of Housing stated that local authorities, not the national government, set their own allocation priorities.
Troy’s suggestion, aimed at rewarding employment, sparked criticism from Labour’s Conor Sheehan, who called it out of touch, noting many workers struggle with high rents and low wages.
With average rents at €2,025 and median weekly wages at €730.89, Sheehan emphasized that housing access should not depend on employment status and urged policy changes through the upcoming Budget instead of altering eligibility criteria.
