The latest figures from the Daft.ie housing report illustrate the complete failure of the government’s efforts to tackle the nationwide housing crisis, particularly in the West, according to Sinn Féin Senator, Trevor Ó Clochartaigh.
Speaking after the publication of the Analysis in to the Recent Trends in the Irish Residential Sales Market in 2016 by Daft.ie, the Galway West - South Mayo Senator says:
‘The rise of house prices in 2016 by 14% in Mayo, 13% in Galway city, 15.9% in Roscommon & 10.6% in Co. Galway indicate that the cost of buying a house is increasing far more quickly than people’s ability to purchase them.
‘It shows that there simply aren’t enough houses available and that where there are that purchasers at the top end of the market are forcing prices up. Many of these are investment companies buying houses to rent out at exorbitant rates to fleece young families desperately trying to get on the housing ladder themselves.
‘The level of the increases show that government policies are actually accelerating house price increases dramatically, rather than slowing them down. This indicates to me that this is the intention of the government rather than it being just a symptom of a dysfunctional market.
‘This, on top of a chronic lack of social housing, inaction on dealing with the mortgage distress crisis, lack of action on new builds and the blocking by Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil of Rent Certainty measures proposed by Sinn Féin four times in recent months, show that the FF/FG coalition is an integral part of the problem, rather than the solution and as such their TD’s are failing people across the country caught up in the housing crisis – nowhere more clearly than in the West.
‘Sinn Féin’s ‘Better for Housing’ policy document outlines the many progressive steps that could and should be taken to stand up for ordinary families and people in Ireland without suitable housing, which if they had been implemented in the last year would have made a significant difference rather than deepening the crisis’.

Léiríonn na figiúrí is déanaí atá i dtuairisc tithíochta Daft.ie, teip iomlán ar iarrachtaí an Rialtais chun dul i ngleic leis an ngéarchéim náisiunta tithíochta, go h-áirithe san Iarthar, dar le Seanadóir Shinn Féin, Trevor Ó Clochartaigh.
Ag labhairt dó i ndiaidh gur foilsíodh Anailís Daft.ie ar na Treochtaí is Déanaí i bPraghasanna Díol Tí i 2016, deir Seanadóir Ghaillimh Thiar – Maigh Eo Theas:
‘Taispeánann an ardú i bpraghasanna tí i 2016, 14% i Maigh Eo, 13% i gCathair na Gaillimhe, 15.9% i Ros Comáin & 10.6% i gContae na Gaillimhe go bhfuil an costas ceannaithe tí ag ardú i bhfad níos sciopaí ná cumas daoine sna ceantair sin chun iad a cheannacht.
‘Tá sé thar a bheith follasach nach bhfuil leath dothain tithe ar fáil agus áit a mbíonn go bhfuil an lucht ceannaithe ag barr an mhargadh ag brú na praghasanna suas. Cuid mhaith díbh seo is Ceannaitheoirí Corparáideacha iad atá ag ceannacht tithe le cur amach arís ar chíosanna ollmhóra le teaghlaigh óga, atá ag iarraidh tithe dá gcuid féin a cheannacht, a bhánú.
‘Léiríonn leibhéal na n-ardaithe go bhfuil polasaithe an Rialtais ag cur dlús leis na h-arduithe praghasanna tí, seachas a bheith dhá moilliú. Insíonn sé seo domsa gurb é seo mian an Rialtais seachas comhartha go bhfuil an margadh tithíochta as cor ar fad.
‘Is léiriú é seo, sa mullach ar an easpa damanta tithíocht sóisialta, an easpa gníomhaíochta maidir le gearchéim na morgáistí faoi bhrú, an mhoill mhór ar thógálacha tithe nua agus an bac a chuir Fine Gael agus Fianna Fáil ar iarrachtaí Shinn Féin chun miosúir Chinnteacht Cíosa a thabhairt chun cinn le míonna beaga anuas, go bhfuil comhghuaillaíocht FF/FG ina chuid lárnach den ghéarchéim seo, seachas a bheith mar chuid den réiteach agus dá bhrí sin go bhfuil Teachtaí Dála ma bpáirtithe sin ag ligean síos muintir na tíre agus níl aon áit a bhfuil sé seo níos soiléire ná san Iarthar.
‘Molann doiciméid polasaí tithíochta Shinn Féin, ‘Níos Fearr do Thithíocht’, na céimeanna éagsúla forásacha a d’fhéadfaí tógáil chun seasamh suas do ghnáth teaghlaigh agus daoine in Éirinn nach bhfuil cóiríocht cuí acu, agus dá mbeidís curtha i bhfeidhm le bliain anuas go mbeadh athrú suntasach chun feabhais déanta acu seachas an ghéarchéim a bheith déanta níos measa’.
