Dublin... Is a fucking shithole

[North end]

I would tackle the passport flushers first. You can't enter any country if you don't have a passport. My friend ended up in detention centre in Canada because he couldn't log into his bank account to show he's got enough money for 2 weeks holidays., he was released once he sorted it out. In my view, detention centre should be opened and everyone without passports locked up until we find out who they are and where are they coming from. They shouldn't be on the streets, full stop.

Next I would tackle homelessness and "homelessness". We have a lot of people that could live with their parents short term until they better themselves, but they decide to declare themselves homeless to put pressure and get so called "forever" social house quicker. Some even decide to make a lot of babies in hotel rooms, hostels etc. Genuine homeless people have to be looked after first, the ones that genuinely don't have any choice.

Housing supply is next, this one is the toughest. There is no magic wand that would fix this, I would start from ridiculous planning requirements, plenty of people would be more than happy if they could build nice log house for a fraction of the price, but our planners are idiots. If Scandinavians, Swiss, Austrians, Germans etc. can live in those type of houses, why Irish can't?

Spot on Blarney man with each paragraph

Do you agree or not, I don't know who that man is

Think of Prenderville with a British accent

He's only the broadcaster with the largest audience share of a daytime digital channel at that time of day in the Norfolk area.

I disagree with passion. My very soul rebels against what you suggest, against its tawdry thinking, against its slimy squareness but perhaps most pointedly against its lack of style.

So what would you do?

You made well thought out, articulate suggestions.
A foreign concept to the dragged up dregs on here.
Hence the snide retort.
Never in a million years could they come up with anything like that.
It makes them insecure so they crack jokes as they've nothing constructive to offer.

"Lock up refugees", "live with your parents" and "build log houses" impresses you that much?
