House prices in the Dún Laoghaire area are among the highest in the
country, which means that for most people, purchasing a home near
your family or existing community is all but impossible. Can
anything be done to give young people the opportunity of finding a
home close to their families and places of employment? Is there an
alternative to the fragmented communities and lengthy commuting
times resulting from current housing policies?
Green Party TDs Ciarán Cuffe, John Gormley and
Eamon Ryan are jointly hosting a public meeting to discuss
ideas and solutions on how to tackle the housing crisis we face.
This meeting will be of interest to all first-time buyers and those
otherwise in need of housing.
Speakers on the evening include Professor PJ Drudy of Trinity
College Dublin who is the co-author of "Out of Reach - Inequalities
in the Irish Housing System", Jim Power, Economist with
Friends First, Cllr Bill Randall of the Brighton Green Party
who was named Housing Journalist of the Year 2000 in the UK and
property developer Bernard McNamara.
The meeting will take place on Tuesday 23rd January 2006 at
8.00pm in the Cultivate Centre, Essex Street West, Temple Bar.
There is no charge for attending and all are welcome.
