The Action Plan for Housing.

Took them 5 years to get the report done ffs. Utterly utterly useless shower of self serving scumbags.Leo, Mehole, Coveney, McGrath etc should all be in jail. 11,900 homeless. Not including the thousands living in their cars, couch surfing and living with relatives. They have absolutely destroyed this country. Announced half baked measures 6 months after the ban was announced and none are currently in place. Only in Paddy land.
 
The plan is there is no plan. Bluffing bluffing bluffing.
Frightening. Bear in mind at Xmas Fatty O Brien wouldn't admit live on prime time the housing issue was an emergency/ crisis. Don't forget that fcukwit Emer Higgins said "Leo always delivers."
What a corrupt kip. How Leo, Mehole, McGrath etc can sleep at night is beyond me. Coveney, Murphy and O Brien should be in jail and should be returning their salaries.

Jimmy that's what they get into power to do. Solve problems.

If they can't they should piss off and leave others do it. FG have been in power for 12 years now, and they just keep making it worse.

Why? The market will solve it. Just throw builders a few tax incentives and all will be well seems to be their only idea. Markets and landlords will solve it

No it fucking won't. This blind allegiance to the free market is ridiculous and unproven. There are European models that allow people to live in major European capitals for a fraction of what it costs to rent in Cork.

But we can't have that cos socialism, other people's money blah blah Thatcher bullshit
 
Firstly, I'd have used the eviction ban properly and put proper measures in place. I certainly wouldn't have ended the eviction ban and, only then, put measures in place. An absolute waste of 6 months. I certainly wouldn't do what Mehole did and boasted about being the only government to bring in an eviction ban into place(I mean, seriously, boasting that the housing crisis is so bad they brought in an eviction ban) and also voted against a motion banning those with cancer, heart issues and mental health issues being evicted.
 
For what it’s worth we have to look at standards. All well and good to ensure the delivery of high quality high standard homes, but in a crisis we should look at temporary solutions such as modular homes to rapidly improve supply. Then when the crisis has been temporarily alleviated we could replace them gradually with long term higher standard homes.

No point in enforcing EV charging points as a requirement for all new homes when EVs cost €30k and starter homes are being bought by first time buyers who can barely afford the mortgage not to mind an EV

We need to look at the standards in public office. The lying is completely off the charts. If you did half of what these charlatans did in private sector you'd be sacked. There has to be some accountability for the lying populism in elections. Saying you wouldn't go into coalition with a party pre election has to mean something. Politicians forgetting they own multiple houses. Coveney promised in May 2017 that in July 2017 there'd be nobody in emergency accommodation. He is still in government despite record people in emergency accommodation. Only in Ireland. Even the Brits kicked out Boris ffs. Coveney was vocal in 2010 when Cowen was drunk on Morning Ireland but an unprecedented housing crisis? That's grand. Absolute scumbag.
