ADVANCE PRAISE FOR HOME

‘In this hard-hitting and timely book Ó Broin exposes the failures in politics and economics that plunged Ireland into a housing crisis. He also argues that change lies in the hands of a new generation of politicians and activists and the question they face is this: are we to see homes as places to generate rent and interest from, or as places to live?’

Paul Mason, journalist and author of PostCapitalism: A Guide to our Future

‘A wide ranging and thorough analysis of where we have gone wrong in housing in Ireland, followed by innovative ideas for putting things right.’

Michelle Norris, Head of School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice, University College, Dublin

‘Ó Broin argues that the Irish housing system is dysfunctional because of successive governments’ over reliance on the private market to meet housing demand. He argues for a new form of State involvement in housing – public housing – as the only way of ensuring that everyone will have an opportunity to live in a good quality affordable home. This book is accessible to anyone who is interested in solutions to the current housing crisis.’

– Simon Brooke, adjunct assistant professor at Trinity College, Dublin
