Construction News Image
Sinn Féin has unveiled a plan which will deliver 100,000 new social and 'affordable' homes throughout Ireland.

The party said the proposal will support tenants, homeowners and buyers.

Sinn Féin Vice President, Mary Lou MacDonald TD said the issue must be addressed as the housing across the state is in "crisis".

She said: "Profit has been put before the needs of citizens and we are all paying the price.

"Government cannot be a spectator in this crisis facing the homeless, facing families and facing homeowners. Government must act to resolve this crisis. The resources are available to end this crisis.

"Sinn Féin is the party that will build quality homes and inclusive communities.

"We believe that everyone has the right to a home.

"The policy document launched today gives effect to that right. Sinn Féin in government will deliver 100,000 new homes, will deliver security and certainty for tenants, will support home owners and buyers.

"The housing crisis can and must be tackled, there is no short cut. The answer is obvious simple we need to start building houses again. We need rent control and we need to ensure quality building standards. We need to stop the profiteering of banks at the cost of mortgage holders."
