ban vulture funds?
they will in their arse
it’s a FG design and it’s a core part of their ideology
all aided and abetted by their confidence and supply trough lovin stooges
the right to a secure home has never been further away

The right to a secure home is within grasp if people stop voting for the same idiots who clearly have much bigger concerns than stuff like a stable society where people are not camping out homeless on one of our busiest shopping streets or are being pushed under trains.
RTE, The Indo, Newstalk and The IT are all culpable too, barely a decent journalist among them willing to ask the real questions of our ‘leaders’.

It’s hard to believe that they really are going to ban vulture funds from housing. I’ll believe it when I see the proof, and check the small print.
ce
They ban to on house but not large apartment developments… so mostly pointless…

if the irish housing market is so attractive to FDI, you’d wonder why the state isn’t invested in it themselves. you can’t really blame the vultures for availing of favourable market conditions, but the government needs to explain why it’s not looking after our interests over those of venture capitalists.

sssshhh… not so loud, people might get ideas….

Irish politicians are the least patriotic people ever! They would sell their own children to Dubai or whoever has the most cash.
They don’t give a p*** about Irish people.

As Shaw said “if you put an Irishman on a spit, you’ll always find another Irishman to turn him.”
We the citizens are the hog, slowly roasting over the hot embers of unfettered “the market will fix it” capitalism while the politicians turn us at the handle and prepare the apple of promised change to be shoved down our porcine gobs.
They are ghettoising (if that’s a word – but ye know what I mean)
Home ownership
And that’s deliberate and by design
It’s no secret that developers have been hanging onto properties themselves for the last 5 years or more – particularly in Dublin
I’m hardly the only one to notice large schemes – particularly apartment type developments with no “For Sale” signs, or Marketing blurb
And that’s cause they were under no pressure to repay Bank Finance
Maybe it would have been better hearing it from one of the lads
Or some Conspirationilst on YouTube
The only way this more recent method of financing large builds will end is when the Banks start cribbing about being cut out
And btw
You should all know it takes years for developments to come out of the ground in Ireland
You’re all only seeing and hearing stuff now that was agreed years ago – long before they sent in commencement notices to the Local Authorities and went to site
And who stock the Councils?
Yep
They’ve all known this for years
What you’re seeing in the Dáil now is just Theatre
Dramatics
The policy and long term goal of privatising social housing started in the 90s
Fianna Fail and Fine Gael were always owners of that plan
I dunno how many times I’ve posted here about two particular opportunities to tackle the housing / accomodation crisis, usually around Budget time
1. Cooperative Schemes (stay tuned btw)
And
2. A Long term rentals
Along with putting Social Housing back into the total control of the local authority housing depts
And out of The Housing Agency
Ara’ don’t mind me – tis all this mask wearing – lack of oxygen to the brain
But know this – when AHBs hit trouble and go into liquidation, and they will because of the Housing Agency rule changes on acquisitions – those portfolios will not be bought by the Local Authorities
I warned about this before anyway, but shur’
Tis what tis
I am actually bored with the hackery and faux angst coming out of the talking heads
Janet, dreams of an alternate universe
it’s a lot of hypocrisy to stomach with breakfast isn’t it

It’s enough to make anyone furious. If I see any FF or FG leaders next time I’m back in Ireland I will burst their ear drums. Seriously.

At least the Irish Govt hasn’t threatened to put its own citizens in jail if they return to their own country. The Aussie Tories threatened to put people who return from India in jail for 5 years. I can see why SF are on the rise in Ireland. Time to try something different to FFG.
