Hearne contextualises the Irish housing crisis within its broader global context by examining the origins of the contemporary crisis in terms of the extension of neoliberalism, marketisation and financialisation in housing. He examines the profound social, political and economic impacts of the crisis on equality, wellbeing and health by bringing real voices and stories from those on the frontline to the fore.

Rory Hearne is a community advocate and regeneration project co-ordinator for Barnardos Ireland and the Dolphin House Community Association
