It's never been about providing everyone with a home
It's always been about speculation, hoarding & profiteering
That's left us with record high rents & evictions, & over 160k vacant & 20k derelict homes
While over 17,000 struggle in emergency accommodation

It has long been noted how FG prefer to claim they were 'founded' by a man long dead when they came into being (who died a member of Sinn FΓ©in) then celebrate the elitist cohort of Irish conservative, Irish Unionist, Irish landowner, and Irish fascist ideologues who are their actual forefathers.

Lets not forget the hidden homeless
Simon Communities put this at 290,000 around 2023
Thats a lot of people struggling due to bad policy decisions
Frightening to think what its now given there were 'only' 12,000 in emergency accommodation in May 2023, now its over 17,000

Why does the council take so long to renovate homes when so many are in need of a home
And why do they make our streets feel like prisons with these horrible hoardings

Why are there so many run down buildings? So many derelicts? So few public amenities? Why so little social housing? So little public transport? Why are so many buildings empty?
We need progressive solutions like #DerelictIreland suggest. No. 1 Maintain existing buildings.

Over 17,000 without a home
Credit where credit is due
This government knows how to manufacture a housing crisis
With over 180k empty homes this is some achievement, as is famine level evictions
But what else to expect with Landord Ministers setting policies to suit them

This is tip of iceberg ..
No TD should be a landlord never mind a landlord minister
No wonder we have a manufactured housing crisis
When large landlord ministers such as Michael Healy-Rae & Robert Troy don't view housing as a human right, just a way to screw people for profit

City centre, suburbs, everywhere you look Cork city council are paying to board up homes in a housing emergency
While families struggle daily in emergency accommodation
This is structural violence & vandalism
This is #DerelictIreland
It needs to stop

Yes everyone should have a home
We mean everyone
With over 180,000 homes empty there is no excuse
We can all see its Irish government ideology & policy favouring greed, hoarding & status over human rights

Rising rents will lead to more evictions
We are already at 1850s levels
To think this is what the Irish Government is deliberately doing to its people
When there are over 180,000 homes lying empty
There is no social contract in Ireland, it has being long broken

Rents are rising, rising ...

As this is another lesson in how you manufacture a housing emergency, Irish Government style

Clearly Narrow West Street in Drogheda has had better days
How was such a beautiful historic & significant town allowed to get vandalised like this, by some of the property owners?
It is truly disgusting behaviour
A social crime & should be treated as such
