Abstract [en]

This paper contains a critical analysis of Ireland’s current housing policy, ‘Housing for All’ (H4A), active from 2021 until 2030. By implementing Carol Bacchi’s ‘What’s the Problem Represented to be?’(WPR) methodological and theoretical framework the ‘problems’ that exist as the basis for H4A are uncovered. Further to this, the assumptions and presuppositions underlying these problem representations are analysed, along with the genealogy of Irish housing policy and history that has led to these representations. Finally, the silences and areas left unproblematized are identified, with a brief exploration into alternative thoughts on the ‘problems’. This paper is to contribute to the existing research in the field of Irish housing by focusing explicitly on the H4A policy and exploring the discourses behind it.
