Ciaran shares his refreshing take on ‘minor' decentralisation, meaningful public engagement, and socially sustainable rural development. Might these policies finally realise the potential capacity of the construction and MMC industry to deliver, unlocking affordable housing at scale? Watch or listen back to understand how Europe's new approach to housing offers community-led, industry-informed sustainable solutions to Ireland's housing crisis, while recognising the need for a thriving rural Ireland.
