Episode Details

Dublins Oliver Bond House faces a setback in its planned upgrade, as the Department of Housing halts the first phase of the project. The councils proposal to merge tiny flats into bigger ones, meeting modern size rules, is rejected. The department pushes for upgrades that keep the structure mostly intact, reducing bed spaces from 196 to 114. Locals and politicians express outrage, with Sinn Féin calling it a 41% bed space cut. Residents, who have long advocated for change, feel devastated. A delegation heads to an Oireachtas committee to discuss the issue, as everyone grapples with housing challenges without further reducing options.
