Abstract
This article examines, through a case study of housing, the extent to which national housing policies under the Thatcher government were modified or deflected at the N. Ireland regional level. Three aspects of housing policy ‐ housing expenditure, public sector rents and the ‘right‐to‐buy’ legislation are considered and the roles of key actors within the territorial community described. Although similarities with GB housing policy emerge, there is evidence of a distinctive regional approach. Factors which influenced a N. Ireland‐specific policy approach are considered and the potential for variance in the future outlined.
