Introducing an exciting new online module offered by the School of Law at the 51��ɫ and Community Law & Mediation.

Housing Law and Policy online (LA4056) will examine the provision of housing and the different types of housing supports available in Ireland. The aim of this module is to provide students with an understanding of the legal and policy issues surrounding housing law – an area of law attracting increasing attention and controversy at both a national and international level.

In addition to affording students a broad understanding of the various sources of housing law in Ireland, the module will consider the implications at a policy level of housing and homelessness.
