Ireland’s Housing Crisis

Ireland’s Housing Crisis

Ireland’s housing crisis didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of policy failures, political inertia, and a refusal to use the solutions already growing under our feet.
In Built From Nothing, we explore why timber and hemp — abundant, sustainable, and proven building materials — remain overlooked while thousands of homes lie vacant, rents soar, and homelessness rises.
Why do we export 90% of our timber? Why do we ban low-cost housing without alternatives? Why are we holding 200-year-old buildings to 21st-century rules that keep them empty?
