Rory Hearne on Trauma and Tackling Ireland's Housing Crisis

You know, and it's interesting when you know things that drive us...there's often a disconnect with the people, with the humans. I think part of the problem with a lot of academia and policy is there's often a disconnect with the people, with the humans.
Ever wondered how trauma intersects with one of Ireland's most pressing issues? In this episode of 'The Two Norries', James Leonard and Timmy Long welcome Rory Hearne, a leading voice on the Irish housing crisis and author of 'Gaffs: why no one can get a house'. Rory doesn't just break down the complexities of the housing market; he shares his own experiences with trauma, offering a deeply personal perspective on the broader social issues at play.
Rory dives into the current state of housing in Ireland, highlighting the decline of social housing, the rise of private developers, and the insidious role of vulture funds. He stresses the human cost of these policies, emphasizing the need for compassion and empathy in decision-making. His call for housing to be recognized as a human right is both urgent and compelling, shedding light on possible solutions that prioritize people over profit.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the housing crisis or interested in social justice. Rory's insights are not just informative; they're a call to action, urging listeners to rethink how we approach policy and community support. Whether you're directly affected by the housing crisis or simply want to understand its deeper implications, this conversation promises to be both enlightening and emotionally resonant.
