Really enjoyed speaking at @eolasmagazine #HousingIreland conference in The Liberties, Dublin today. Five minutes walk from where I went to school! 😊Much to learn from professionals in other jurisdictions, plenty of good work ahead.
Grainia Long, from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, on the role and remit of the NIHE: "Housing is abut the technicality of how we build, manage, and invest in our homes. When we think of homes we have to think of the emotion which goes along with that" #HousingIreland
