Navigating Ireland's Housing Future: Insights with Martin Whelan
Q: What would you say to someone considering a career in housing?
It's a diverse and meaningful field where one can influence planning, development, financing, and policy delivery; there's a strong pipeline for new housing practitioners and a clear path through programs like housing apprenticeships to deliver real solutions.
Navigating Ireland's Housing Future: Insights with Martin Whelan
Q: From your experience, what has been the housing agency's greatest impact?

Navigating Ireland's Housing Future: Insights with Martin Whelan
Q: Martin, welcome to Housing Insights. Just to begin, can you tell us a bit about yourself and your interest in housing?
I trace my roots to the early 2000s in the construction and housing sector, moving through NAMA and NTMA, where I saw how policy, finance, and delivery intertwined and ultimately shaped housing outcomes for millions, including the scale of social housing and major regeneration projects.
Social Housing Options
Q: What happens after you're deemed eligible and on the waiting list?
