Sir, – While the reported Sinn Féin proposal of €300,000 Dublin homes has vote-catching merit, I wonder how any Government would attain this (“Mary Lou McDonald: Average house prices in Dublin should fall to ‘the €300,000 mark’”, News, December 20th)?
Tinkering with the market in such a way smacks of authoritarian rule. What about the rest of the market? Perhaps Ireland, instead of being “a small, open economy” will become a “smaller, closed economy”. The housing crisis requires fixing, but Sinn Féin needs to turn the drawing board the right way up. – Yours, etc,
