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.
