Blocking traffic will not solve the housing crisis

-

THE housing protest last weekend that blocked off O’Connell Bridge in Dublin was a disgrace.

What exactly do these people hope to achieve with their infantile protests, and why should everybody attempting to travel across the city centre have to suffer?

Many of the same people are involved in illegal occupation­s of properties, which are great at drawing attention to themselves but do nothing to solve the housing crisis the country faces.

This crisis needs a grown-up approach, not petty street tantrums. Alan O’Toole, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin.
