"Green New Deal" proposes 300,000 new homes.

 A Maynooth University expert in housing has called for radical reform of housing provision in Ireland.

The ‘Green New Deal for Housing in Ireland’ proposes 300,000 new, public, affordable, sustainable homes

A core recommendation of the research is the development of a new vision for national housing policy

This would include the development of a new national housing plan based on the State ensuring a guaranteed sufficient supply of affordable, secure, high-quality and environmentally sustainable housing.

Dr. Rory Hearne is an author and Assistant Professor in Social Policy at Maynooth U.

Speaking to Kildare Today, he says a complete re-imagining of the concept of social homes is required.

Dr.Hearne joined Clem Ryan on Thursday's edition of the programme.
