This afternoon.

Trinity College Dublin 2.

Room-seeking, bouncy-haired, ‘super emotionally stable’ student Joris Carbonare, from France, takes to the streets.

Have you a spare chambre?

A CATU member in Tallaght is currently dealing with Ray Cooke Lettings‘ inaction on an out-of-control mould situation in an apartment, which is causing serious health problems for the tenants.The situation has been ongoing for the last three years. The letting agent is refusing to carry out inspections due to Covid, despite the fact that Ray Cooke is currently taking bookings for house viewings.

Dublin Rental Investigator tweetz:

This property on Dorset Street was a Guest House now it’s ‘studios’ or ‘co-living’ thanks to [Minister for Housing[ Eoghan Murphy.

How many are they going to cram into 97-98 Upper Dorset Street, Dublin 1?

This is the reality of co-living.

From top: a Daft vacancy; Daft owners Eamonn and Brian Fallon

In January, Sinn Féin introduced the Property Services (Advertisement of Unfit Lettings) (Amendment) Bill 2019. It aimed to stop poor quality accommodation – including overcrowded properties – from being advertised online.

We’ll be seeing crying chair-type ads from Daft.ie for some time to come as FF gang up with FG to cynically delay legislation to force Daft to vet ads for legality.

The Shinners tried to introduce their Property Services (Advertisement of Unfit Lettings) (Amendment) Bill 2019. It makes total sense and this was accepted by all, FG and FF included.

But, while FG and FF voted to approve the progress of the Bill, they both voted to delay any further consideration of the Bill for six months.

Meantime, looks like we might have to continue moral suasion on the Fallon brothers, Eamonn and Brian.

Maybe have a polite word with them if you come across them, I’m sure they’re decent people and would be aghast if they knew what sort of ads they’re hosting, and even the €8m dividends wouldn’t merit such despicable standards.

We’re down a Crying Chair and about 55 lids.

Good times.
