-the urban renewal schemes and private rented housing
-the management of social housing
-the accommodation of Travellers and homeless people
-rural housing policy and politics.

During the past decade, Ireland's economic growth has attracted international attention. This book analyses the consequences of that growth on housing and serves as a primer to other countries on the complexities of delivering sustainable housing solutions in the face of economic success.
