Mark Finlay

Mark Finlay is a 42-year-old resident of Belmayne, Dublin 13, who works as a general operative for Dublin City Council. He has been renting a one-bedroom apartment for over €1,900 a month and has been on the social housing list since 2002. As a father to a 12-year-old son, who stays with him two nights a week, Mark has expressed significant concern over the speculation regarding the removal of Rent Pressure Zone (RPZ) rules, fearing it could lead to unaffordable rent increases and potential homelessness for many renters. He has actively reached out to political figures to voice his anxiety about the impact of these proposed changes on the housing crisis.
