This afternoon.
Dublin City Centre.
Scenes from the Housing demo organised by the multi-group National Homeless and Housing Coalition to highlight the housing crisis.
In fairness.
The irony of #HomesForAll march, infiltrated by groups funded by vile #Soros who is intent on destroying sovereign #Ireland. Key spokesperson is @RBoydBarrett whose cronies want our Tricolour removed from civic buildings. Tells you all you need to know. Destined to fail pic.twitter.com/l0SFPcDGyu

The big division in Irish society is now between those who own their own homes and those who’s homes are owned by others, mainly because they have no other choice.
I do not believe social housing is the answer but I do believe that the lack of affordable owner occupied homes is going to bite FG/FF in the ass, very hard.
It’s across the board, we need both social and affordable housing.
I agree that there needs to be more social but by focusing on that alone gives the ‘something for nothing’ brigade an excuse to maintain the status quo.
Something for nothing is really the landlords who are gouging for all their worth while ordinary people become the new working poor, just to keep a roof over their heads.
But….but… for just a grand a month you can live in a shed in Clonee!

What’s the difference?
+1
People on decent wages should be able to buy their own homes within reasonable commuting distances of their jobs. In general, they are not.
+1
And the fact that many are not is a failure of Government (not just of the market).

The Posh Boy nowhere to be seen.
His poshness is inconsequential. It is his failure that needs to be addressed.
50% of the electorate like it this way. centre right parties still have the upper hand
Based on the most recent immigration figures nearly a hundred new immigrants arrived in Ireland today.
Another one hundred will arrive tomorrow.
And the day after.
And the day after that.
Rinse and repeat every single day for the foreseeable future.
If there’s a housing crisis exactly where are those people going to live ?
Do you have a source for those figures Ollie? I’d be interested in taking a look.
I’m with you Ollie. this house our people talk is very naive in the face of globalization
Sure.
Here ya go.
34,000 non-Irish immigrants arrived in the year up to April 2018.
Nearly double the previous year’s figures.
As these numbers are likely to be repeated and probably increased this year on average 100 new immigrants arrive here every day.
Combined with the natural increase in the population 65,000 extra people appeared on Irish soil within the last recorded year – that’s a city the size of Waterford plus another 9,000 souls.
And if that happens this year and next ?
If a sink is overflowing you turn off the tap.

Well I would be able to post it if the weekend office intern doing the modding tonight pulled their finger out of their arse.
There are too many dingleberries in the way, heh heh heh, now you see the plan. Mod you into death, bit for some eejit who never reacts, you are dancing, monkey, dancing!
Don’t react charger!
Pip pip!
He never reacts!
Pip pip!
Which one, Leo, Eoghan or Paul? They’re all posh ones.
so what’s everyone going to do about it? I have a suggestion. Stop voting for them. And stop using the lazy response of “but who else is there”. Vote for Social Democrats. Vote for Sinn Fein candidates. Vote for truly independent TD’s outside of the Independent Alliance freak show. Shake the system up because it can’t get any worse then the crisis we are in at the moment.
See, I told you Gemma was rotten!
