Introduction
For most of the 20th century, social housing provision in the Republic of Ireland
played a key role in achieving both social and economic policy objectives.
This tenure,which was provided primarily by local authorities until the 1980s and by a combination
of local authorities and no profit housing sector housing associations since then,
accounted for between 52 and 65.2% of total Irish housing output in the 1930s, 1940s
and 1950s and 18.4% of the Irish population was accommodated in this sector in 1961
(Norris and Fahey, 2011).
Social housing was a central part of overall housing supply
during periods of economic growth as well as through several recessions.
