Social Housing in Ireland

This study explores the living conditions and quality of life in seven urban local authority housing estates in Ireland. The research team involved paid particular attention to the perspective of the residents in each estate - their views about what made their neighbourhoods good or bad places to live, and what they had to say about their relationships with local service agencies and local authorities in particular. The study seeks to provide an understanding of what makes local authority housing succeed or fail, and contains lessons for housing policy and practice.
