Private sector funding essential to tackling crisis, James Browne tells Dáil
Housing Minister James Browne acknowledges a "collapsed" apartment delivery rate requiring "radical" solutions. Apartment approvals have dropped significantly, with the Croí Cónaithe Cities scheme falling far short of targets. While Browne insists private sector funding is essential, opposition parties criticize the over-reliance on institutional investors and advocate for alternative approaches, including fining platforms like Airbnb for non-compliance.
