“I’m hopeful that we can give everybody hope in the country here. This is the first budget in seven years where some money was given back to people. And we hope to continue that flexibility in the time ahead as prepare for budget 2016,”
“But we are very anxious to see that the benefits of a rising economy are spread throughout the country and people can see that in their daily lives, but also in their cheques which is very important when the payment comes.
It was great to see, last week, some people contacting us and saying ‘Well I’m not sure whether it was a mistake or not, but I seem to have got extra money in this last payment’. We want to continue that. “

We are a collaborative group of 7 visual artists currently studying at the National College of Art and Design. In response to the recent jump in Irish property prices and the presence of Ghost Estates throughout the country, we have created Spectre Estates, a multi media intervention posing as an estate agency. Given the current trend of socially engaged art, we believe the current housing crisis merits cultural critique.

My parents in law took to the sculpting today, snowed in down in Sligo. Fairly cool, even having some of that hip new beer from The White Hag [craft brewers]….
