Have your say: Under 35? Share your experience of housing in Ireland
Home ownership now feels out of reach for majority of under-35s in Ireland, with new research suggesting many are resigned to long-term renting

Among this group, 61% are considering social housing and 55% are leaning towards long-term renting. The question is, do you share this perspective? Have the soaring costs and strict market conditions made home ownership an elusive dream for you?
