The biggest hinder to solving Ireland's housing crisis is not finaincing, or planning law, or judicial reviews - it's that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael don't want to.
Again if you find yourself wondering about things like Judicial review because politicians and some right wing journos say this is the reason we can’t get things done, just remember this is complete bollix and the real reason is lobbyists, lobbyists, lobbyists and politicians who become lobbyists.

Pet bans to be scrapped in major Irish housing shake up
Fianna Fáil Senator Teresa Costello, who has been campaigning for the change, welcomed the decision but said the delay had already caused deep distress for many tenants.

Did Catherine Connolly ever object to Irish citizens being included in the evacuation of a natural disaster on planes "that are part of the German military industrial complex"? I don't recall anything like this.

That €150 BILLION EURO that @simonharrisireland.bsky.social and @micheal-martin.bsky.social want to spend on military would buy 300,000 houses at €500,000.

#otd in 1989, Günter Schabowski of the East German Socialist Unity Party (SED) held a press conference where he appeared to say that citizens could now travel more freely outside of the GDR. By the end of the day, the Berlin Wall had been opened and the stage set for the end of SED rule.

We're told one of these land uses is 'productive', while the other is not.
But in terms of photosynthetic levels, as well as the production of clean air, water, no flooding, a stable climate, etc, etc, the natural ecosystem wins hands down.
As for biodiversity, let's not even go there.
