An incomprehensive decision making process, a pattern of destruction of Local Government powers, huge withdrawal of funding in good times and austerity years and an ideological opposition to social and affordable home provision have been the hallmarks of National Housing Policy in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I have said so often before the Departments of Housing, Planning and Local Government and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform are key obstacles to Social and Affordable Housing in this Country. Giving either of them even more control would be a recipe for further chaos and condemn those on the Housing list to decades more of inactivity.
