Housing Law, Rights and Policy is the definitive work on housing
law in Ireland. This book provides the first comprehensive
reference and critique of the legal and policy elements of the
housing system in Ireland. Housing Law, Rights and Policy contains
all relevant and up-to-date legislation, housing related case-law,
government and other policy reports and human rights decisions.
This book analyses the housing elements of the Land and Convincing
Law Reform Act 2009, Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009
and Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of
Cohabitants Act 2010. It also evaluates contemporary State housing
policy reports based on the NESC "vision of society" documents,
containing such nebulous concepts as "social inclusion " and the
more cosmetic "sustainable communities." The book examines key
areas of housing in terms of law, rights and policy. These include
the development of, and perspectives on, Irish housing, housing
needs of older people, people with disabilities and homeless
people, Irish State housing finance, private mortgages, housing
rights, planning, housing standards and building regulations, local
authority housing, private rented housing, apartments, multi-unit
developments and estates, housing associations and co-operatives,
rural housing and EU law and housing. Housing Law, Rights and
Policy traverses beyond traditional black-letter law, placing
relevant legislation and case-law within the contemporary
contextual background where it can be fully explained and
understood. This book will be considered as the leading authority
on housing in Ireland. It will be an essential reference for all
practising lawyers who work in the housing related area, including
all local authority lawyers. This work will also be of great
interest to law-makers and public officials at national and local
level, as well as academics and students, policy-makers and social
policy analysts. It provides vital information for housing and
housing related professionals, such as planners, housing managers,
estate agents, architects, engineers, surveyors and others.
