A Home of Your Own – Teach de do Chuid Féin
Sinn Féin has a plan to make housing affordable and to bring homeownership back within reach of working people.
Sinn Féin’s housing plan will deliver 300,000 new homes – private, public, affordable and to rent homes as well as enabling people to build homes in their own communities.
This is a comprehensive costed plan, the scale and ambition of which has never been set out by any other party.
We are ready to start delivering this plan from day one in Government.
Watch for a leaflet outlining our plan being delivered into homes across the state over the coming weeks.
Our Pledge to You
Housing is Sinn Féin’s number one priority.
We will move heaven and earth to fix housing. We will ensure that home ownership is brought back within the reach of working people.
We have heard your stories of sky-high rents, long waits on Council lists, being out bid by a vulture fund for your first home, of adult children stuck at home and others forced to emigrate.
We believe that you should have a home of your own. A home in which you feel safe and secure. A home that meets your needs. A home that you can afford.
Cinnteoidh muid go mbeidh úinéireacht tí inrochtana arís don lucht oibre, agus go mbeidh sé ar acmhainn d’oibrithe teach dá gcuid féin a bheith acu.
A Home Of Your Own sets the course to ending the housing crisis so that you can have a home of your own.
