Alan Lindley was recently made an Honourary SIPTU President.
SIPTU's new president wants to see improvements made to the housing sector.
Offaly's Alan Lindley is making the cost of living and housing crises his primary focus.
A new housing policy was released by the government last week, detailing plans to build a minimum of 300,000 new homes by 2030.
