A leading economist says the Government needs to control construction costs and change the way we handle social housing. 

A report from property website daft.ie shows we're ending the decade with falling house prices - for the first time since 2012. 

However Ronan Lyons, economist at Trinity College and the author of the report, says we need a system for the future that correctly adjusts supply according to demand.
