House prices and rents have increased dramatically in Ireland's urban centres recently, principally due to a lack of supply. The Policy Institute at Trinity College Dublin is hosting a workshop on the issue of housing supply. The aim is to bring together local and international perspectives on how public policy can address the problem. After opening remarks by the Minister for Housing, one of the world's leading experts on housing supply, Professor Albert Saiz from MIT, will give a keynote address on the role that policy can play in housing supply. These will be followed by presentations from Ronan Lyons (TCD) and John O'Mahony, Managing Director of O'Mahony Pike Architects. Professor Frances Ruane will then lead a panel discussion of how national and local policymakers can address the challenges faced by the sector in Ireland.
