Die Zahl der über 65-Jährigen, die ihre Häuser mieten, hat sich seit 2011 verdoppelt, was zu einer „tickenden Zeitbombe“ führt.

It’s a sad state of affairs, the government are going to have to invest in co-living retirment complexes at some point or there’s going to be a huge amount of elderly homeless people.
Just fuck off with these constant buzzword articles and built some houses.
There’s a population of people who are getting more and more disenfranchised by the government and they won’t take it forever.
I’d say that’s a bigger „ticking time bomb“ than whatever distraction waffle is in this article.
It’s going to be like nothing we’ve never seen before , hoards of homeless elderly people. What a joke
This is before generation rent has to retire which will make the pensions time bomb pale in comparison
Ah but lads! They **promised** us they’d build more houses during the election.
And then we went and voted/non-voted for this…
This is only going to get worse – isn’t this problem essentially the reason the government have rolled out the Auto-Enrolment Pension scheme? Plaster on a gaping wound.
Older people renting is a common thing across the continent and is not an issue.
We need to continue building more appropriate accommodations for people as they age, one/two bed apartment, co-living development etc.
High home ownership rates in Ireland mean we have the most under-utilised housing stock in Europe.
The government solution will be to increase rent allowance using tax payers money. Landlords getting paid is all they care about.
this is what the country voted for, unfortunately
There’s no happy ending here without some serious investment or a change in attitude. Reminds me of all of those older Irish fellas living in dump London bedsits in the late 1990s and 2000s. Too old or unable to work in construction, which was the only thing they knew. Ended up on benefits, living is some (usually Irish owned) shithole shared house without heating and just wasted their lives away, hoping to one day get back to Ireland – who most definitely did not want them. The local councils won’t be able to house people because they won’t have the properties or the money.
Exactly what FFG has wanted all along. When they can’t pay rent, fuck them out to die in the street and lock younger people into the same system. Government of the landlords, for the landlords, by the landlords.
I asked this same question here about a year back. We use the phrase „ticking time bomb“ a lot but in this case it’s genuine. There is no plan

Irish Gov policy: Well, I suppose if we just continue to do absolutely nothing about it, it will be grand …
lots of ould bombs ticking. Nothing been done about any of them.
Billions been wasted everywhere. 40 odd million from dormant accounts latest squandering I saw…
