From March 2023:
“The result, just to look at it again, was that the Government decided that they would see thousands of people made homeless, as a deliberate result of their public policy, so that landlords (institutional or individual) could see higher returns from their property investments.”

I think calling it a Housing Tsar was a blunder. But housing touches so many policy points and lots of them are outside the scope of the Housing Minister: especially considering how ministries are chopped up and shared out based on how many govt TDs are "due one" rather than optimal function.
❝What is a housing czar?
The big thing the public are struggling to understand is what will the Housing Czar do that the Housing Minister couldn’t do himself?
This cannot be a fall person for the Minister. ❞ @conorsheehan.bsky.social

Thinking of starting up an old school blog for my writing whims. Workshopping a title such as a girl in crisis although I don’t know how tongue in cheek humour would be received if people don’t know it’s both a hint to my day job but also a slight jab at the ills of my personal life
