Summary
Cohousing Communities Ireland is rallying for government action to build housing for Ireland’s growing population of over 1.76 million people aged fifty and up—expected to hit two million by 2030. They’re proposing a self-financing fund to launch three pilot cohousing communities in Dublin, Cork, and Westport, where residents live independently yet communally in small, private clusters. Already proven successful abroad, this model could fill a critical gap left by current policies that focus too narrowly on the very elderly or frail. To make it happen, they’re urging public bodies to release land and adjust mortgage rules, while calling for legal recognition so local authorities can plan and target these developments. Developers, they say, will only join once demand proves real—so this push is about sparking that momentum. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
