The Irish Housing Crisis

The Irish housing crisis is worsening day by day. Sky high rental prices mean young people cannot afford to move out, homelessness rates are soaring, and the people fuelling the economy are left scrambling to find somewhere to call home in the midst of unattainable luxury apartments and shared rooms reminiscent of tenement housing.

Using various sources concerning this matter, including books, articles, social media, and other publications, my goal was to demystify and clarify the conundrum of Irish housing to first-time voters, encouraging them to engage in this issue and see how it is directly effecting their future.

I intended to offer information from all sides of the issue, while attempting not to overload the user with information. This will be communicated through pacing, use of typeface and size, format, and binding - allowing the information take centre stage. Considering the nature of the problem (housing), it is important to be empathetic and understanding. Information should be presented in an objective manner, allowing space for interpretation.
