Housing in Ireland—a history of dysfunction?

From the tenement collapses of the early twentieth century to the spiralling house prices of the early twenty-first, it seems that housing in Ireland has always been in a state of crisis. What were the intended and unintended consequences of twentieth-century housing policy and how has this led to our current housing crisis? To address these and related questions, join History Ireland editor Tommy Graham in discussion with housing activist Ashling Hedderman , architectural historian Ellen Rowley and economic historian Conor McCabe . (Recorded live on Monday 9 June 2025 @ the National College of Art and Design)
