It's being argued the almost 100 vacant social homes in Clare stand as a "monument to the Government's failures". Figures obtained by Sinn Féin show there are more than 2,656 council houses lying idle nationwide including 776 which have been empty for over a year. Of these, 91 are located in Clare, 18 of which have been unoccupied for more than 18 months. Speaking in the Dáil, Shannon Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan says it's more evidence the housing crisis isn't being treated as an emergency.
