Description
This book is the first comprehensive analysis of migrants' housing experiences in Ireland. It introduces, in an accessible manner, the key factors that determine how well migrants can engage with Ireland's housing system. It outlines the opportunities and challenges migrants encounter accessing housing and benefits from analysis drawn from the actual lived housing experience of migrants whose homes are located in inner-city, town and small town locations in Ireland. Therefore, this book is positioned to highlight differences between various groups of migrants living in contrasting locations in Ireland and argues that housing policy development can be informed by the consideration given to migrants' meanings and perceptions of housing.
