The ICSH Finance & Development Conference was held on 25-26 October at the Lyrath Hotel in Kilkenny, with over 250 delegates in attendance. Speakers from Ireland and overseas challenged our current policies and offered solutions to develop our thinking on housing affordability, cost, scale, and innovation and delegates probed the discussion and offered insightful commentary at what proved to be a very successful conference. You can follow last week’s discussion on Twitter by searching for #ICSH2018.
