The Caveman and That Dunsinking Feeling
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges facing the Irish housing market and the impact of local objections on development projects.
We mark Mack's 60th birthday by tackling the systemic paralysis of the Irish housing market. We examine the "CAVE" phenomenon: Citizens Against Virtually Everything, and how local objections are stalling massive developments like Dunsink. We'll walk you through why the state succeeds at attracting foreign investment but fails at building homes, and what this means for the next generation of Irish citizens. Hosted on Acast.
