Housing 🏘️

Climate law, housing concerns, and Galway's win are top news.

New proposals have surfaced indicating that Irish officials considered removing a significant element of climate legislation earlier this year. This comes as the government, led by Taoiseach Micheál Martin of Fianna Fáil, alongside Fine Gael and Independent TDs, faces ongoing environmental discussions.

Meanwhile, social housing issues are drawing attention, with discussions around potential rent increases for residents in Cork City and reports highlighting poor living conditions, including mould and rodent infestations in some flats. This adds to existing social welfare concerns.

In sports, Galway has been crowned the All-Ireland senior champions after an epic final against Kerry, marking a major sporting achievement. The nation also saw a public wake held for musician Glen Hansard.
