Dr Rory Hearne presented his book "Housing Shock, the Irish Housing Crisis and How to Solve it" to the President at Áras an Uachtaráin.
Drawing on two decades of academic research into housing and homelessness, together with national public advocacy on housing, the book provides a new vision for Irish housing and a practical policy pathway to ensure affordable, secure, decent quality and environmentally sustainable homes for everyone.
Housing and Homelessness have been recurrent themes in the work of President Higgins, both in relation to housing in Ireland and the experiences of people driven from their homes and homelands.
