flag Irish opposition slams housing plan for lacking ambition, targets, and clarity on key reforms.

flag Irish opposition leaders, including Labour’s Ivana Bacik, have sharply criticized the government’s new housing plan, calling it unoriginal and lacking ambition, with Bacik accusing the government of abandoning annual homebuilding targets and failing to advance affordable housing or clarify the Land Development Agency’s powers. flag She also challenged the proposal to lower minimum apartment standards, citing a prior court rejection. flag Taoiseach Micheál Martin defended the plan, stating the government remains committed to 12,000 social homes annually and that the previous “Housing for All” strategy exceeded its targets. flag Social Democrat leader Holly Cairns questioned the absence of annual targets and the plan’s long-term scope beyond the current government’s term.
