Could developer incentives solve the housing crisis?

Are developers the key to solving our housing crisis, or are we simply incentivizing the wrong people? As the government looks to lower developer investment and increase borrowing to speed up apartment building, questions remain about whether this will solve the deeper issues in housing delivery. Joining Kieran to unpack this is Karl Deeter, CEO of onlineapplication.com, and Rory Hearne, Social Democrats TD for Dublin North-West… The Minister for Education has warned schools that she will not hesitate to use the legislative powers to compel them to open special classes to ensure there are enough school places for children with additional needs. To discuss this, Kieran is joined by three parents who have children with special needs.
