Me & @judesherry.bsky.social are thrilled the poetry (Jennifer Horgan) - film (Philip Denvir) "crossing over barrack street" inspired by #DerelictIreland & based around our street art in Cork won Irish Selection Ó Bhéal Poetry Film competition 2025 yesterday at Cork Arts Theatre

Short clip of end ❤️

I kept count for a while of EU cases against Ireland in this field. Judgments were coming out from the Court of Justice at a rate of one every seven months at the peak. That peak lasted years.

I'm old enough to remember when criticising the EU was framed as unacceptable
Or is it only good to blame the EU when you're scapegoating your own failures

“Over 16,600 homeless last month, including 5,200 children”

Every month, an increase in people in emergency accommodation.. 9 years after a plan to “end homelessness” when there were 4,377 adults & 2,470 children homeless (Oct 2016)

Allowing properties—especially those of architectural heritage—to remain derelict or vacant for decades should be considered a crime against the state.

#speirgorm #derelictireland ☘️ it's a fucking disgrace

Compared to our '21 Oireachtas Committee reccomdendations
Cultural acceptance of #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland is gone

'Use It or Lose It' is now the mantra

Plus we got 2 new taxes
💰 Vacant Home Tax
🪙 Derelict Property Tax

🤞 in the next 4 yrs will get more holistic policy solutions👇

Hoarding homes in a housing emergency is akin to hoarding food in a famine

Welcome to #DerelictIreland where protecting property rights is deemed more important than human life

30years!! It’s not quite as bad as doing nothing, but it’s very close to it. #DerelictIreland dreary, dispiriting, neglected, abandoned, hoarded, crumbling, stagnant, Ireland.

If the owners can’t be found, let the councils take them over, sell them and buy them after when the owner shows up.

Great to see my iconic North Main Street photo being shared by ThomasGould, TD in Dáil to continue shining a light on #DerelictIreland I took it on 25th of December 2021 Christmas Day was only time I could get a photo without cars, its been shared across globe since Screenshot: @corkbeo.bsky.social

People getting 4 or 7 grand a week, after such a huge bailout? Bakhurst getting the price of a house in Dublin every year to platform Maria Steen & other right wing nutcases while we’ve a homeless crisis, #mica crisis, #DerelictIreland crisis, A&E trolleys crisis, & 600k living below poverty line 🤯

The colonisation continues, have no doubt this is disgusting state enabled violence, there should be no place for evictions in 21st century Ireland Shame on successive governments led by @ Fine Gael & fianna fail party & their buddies for enabling this #DerelictIreland #HousingCrisis

What Stripe's John Collision gets right - and wrong - about Ireland's infrastructure failures A 2,500-word analysis by the tech billionaire has caused a stir in Irish political circles.

What John Collision gets right & wrong

“Orla Hegarty said there is danger changes proposed would result in power located in a few hands

Are we to roll back to a time of quick windfall profits with true economic, social & environmental costs being borne by others” www.thejournal.ie/john-colliso...

There’s a little house near me, looks like it’s been empty for years. I saw it in an estate agents window lately, €200k asking price. #DerelictIreland

They didn’t use it. Or mind it. Or maintain it. Or sell it. #UseItOrLoseIt

Reckless urban planning—urban sprawl, poor public transport, land hoarding, and out-of-town shopping complexes—has damaged Waterford City. The River Suir is one of the city's main assets, yet vacant sites (red) and surface car parking (blue) line its banks.

A massive shout to unbelievable grassroots community who made this movement possible
While we mention Sligo, Drogheda & Martin Leahy in statement we could easily mention hundreds more who've relentlessly supported us in moving #DerelictIreland to top of political agenda
Thank you all for caring ❤️
