185. A Pandemic of Insecurity: What Can We Learn From COVID About Changing Society?

This Reboot Republic talks to Colette Bennett, Economic and Social Analyst with Social Justice Ireland. We discuss what the COVID pandemic has told us about society, about housing, precariousness and community. We also discuss the recent Social Justice Ireland report on housing costs and poverty in Ireland, about the policy failure of the Housing Assistance Payment, and why a new eviction ban and referendum to the put the right to housing in the Constitution is required in 2022.
