‘We will never be able to buy a house in this country’ – Families stuck between renting and buying

After being rejected multiple times for cost rental housing, Robert Nolan and Valentina Clulow are considering emigrating.

Cost rental schemes are designed to support those who cannot afford to buy a home, but earn too much to qualify for social housing.

However, the couple, who live in Tall­aght, Dublin, say they cannot buy a place of their own, access social housing or get a cost rental home.

“We are both working professionals, working in community services, giving back to society, but we will never be able to buy a house in this country. We will never be able to live comfortably in this country,” Mr Nolan said.
