About Us
Welcome to My Little Home!
I’m Derrick, the founder and content writer behind this website. I’m not an expert in home construction, politics, law or home-ownership.
I’m just a man that’s very interested in the current housing crisis, so I study every day to better understand why it is the way it is. Now that I understand that this crisis is not unique to Ireland, I am more interested in finding out what makes the Irish housing crisis unique from the rest, and what can be done about it.
I also do my best to research, simplify and share as much useful information as I can on Irish housing news and other alternatives to standard housing – all in the hopes that it could be useful to someone.
Right now, my ultimate goal is to convince the Irish State to be more directly involved in the provision of both social and affordable housing, by using the 2016 Apple Tax Windfall portion of its large budget surplus to do so. I am also pushing for the creation of more accessible frameworks for tiny homes, modular homes, and other alternative homes.
I also like to dive deeper into current Irish political, social, tech, and finance news and provide my opinion on how they could apply to the current Irish housing context. I am also very open to interviewing and forming partnerships with local Irish builders, homeowners and craftsmen, so I can share their advice and insights with my readers.
Here at My Little Home, I don’t own any products (yet).
However, you may find affiliate links in some blog posts, as well as a button to support me directly. If you choose to buy a product I recommend, you support me at no extra cost to you. I simply earn a small commission per sale, which in turn helps me to run this blog.
I believe that everyone deserves a chance at owning a home. Not as an investment, but as a basic necessity first. By sharing what I find, I hope that you can learn something new, and help others in return. Thank you for visiting mylittlehome.ie.
Warm regards,
Derrick.
