Over the next 12 weeks, this new feature will deliver sustained, in-depth reporting on housing in County Clare, to provide clarity, context, and accountability. Each week, we will examine a different aspect of the crisis, from supply and pricing trends to planning permission barriers, social housing allocations, mortgage access, and the role of sustainable rural building, answering the key questions. This week, Alan Morrissey was joined by John Callan, Head of Product & Client Solutions at MyHome.ie, and Councillor John Crowe, Chairperson of Clare’s Social Development Strategic Policy Committee. Together, they discussed affordable housing and principal private residence advice, with a focus on housing access for young families and first-time buyers.
