Rory Hearne, Gaffs

In Gaffs, economist, Maynooth University lecturer and housing expert Rory Hearne urges us to think about the people behind the statistics, and shows us that there is a way towards a future where everyone has access to a home. Recently published, the book explores how Ireland’s housing policy has locked an entire generation out of the housing market and what we should do about it. Stuck living at home as adults, many millennials are on the brink of homelessness. So what can be done? It may not sound like fun festive reading, but Gaffs makes a compelling case that’s well worth hearing.
