This Reboot Podcast talks to Dr Rob Sweeney of TASC and author of the new report 'Trading Places: Report on Land and Housing'.
Rory and Rob discuss what role land speculation plays in our housing crisis, and how it impacts on market supply of housing, and what role the state could be playing in being an active manager and purchaser of land to provide affordable housing. They discuss the value of setting up a state construction company and how to tackle dereliction.

Ireland’s original independent left leaning news, politics, and culture podcast that doesn’t take itself too seriously and still punches well above its weight. Join critically acclaimed & derided hosts, Martin McMahon and Tony Groves as they delve into the news of the day, pull apart the spin and challenge you to be an activist. This is the non-corporate, ad free, non-plastic-podcast reality that the medium is made for. There will be shenanigans!
