Cost rental will now be put on a legislative footing.
Sinn Fein says the Affordable Housing Bill passed in the Dail last night has some good and bad aspects.
The Housing Minister says cost rental, a new form of housing tenure in Ireland, will now for the first time ever, be put on a legislative footing here.

“That the bill do now pass” 🙌🏼
