About the Irish Council for Social Housing
The 5th International Social Housing Festival (ISHF 2025), an initiative of Housing Europe, gathered more than 2,000 delegates at Dublin’s Convention Centre from 4–6 June 2025. Since its inception in Amsterdam in 2017, the Festival has welcomed participants who – through sharing, tracking, scrutinising and imagining – have always adopted the widest lens possible in their collective vision for social and affordable housing. So from Amsterdam, Lyon, Helsinki, Barcelona and now here in Dublin, the Irish Council for Social Housing was immensely proud to provide this platform for generative thinking on housing, a fundamental right.
