Ireland

Ireland’s Housing Commission is looking to hire a PR firm as it works to identify and report on ways to create a long-term sustainable and affordable housing system on the island.

The Emerald Isle is in the midst of one of its longest and most severe housing crises.

President Michael Higgins in June called the housing situation “our great, great, great failure,” adding that it can no longer be considered a crisis but a “disaster.”

The Commission needs a firm to handle external communications, stakeholder engagement, media relations, content creation and spokesperson training.

The partner will be responsible for social media activities and support events.

The Commission, which will operate until July 2023, also is tasked with bringing forward proposals on a potential working for an amendment to Ireland’s Constitution regarding housing. There will be a national referendum on the proposed amendment.

Responses are due July 22.
