The Action Plan for Housing.

[Stacky]

You can't even spell "lose" correctly ffs.
Clearly you've no ambition at all.
The classic "shur it'll do" Paddy attitude.
Get these spoofers out.
51 homes is a tiny tiny %.
How about we pay these scumbag politicians a tiny % of their over inflated salaries for a few years.
Tell them "it can't be solved overnight but by 2030 you should be receiving full pay"

Politicians are civil servants and how will even you attract people to leglislate and make laws if you simply pay them a pittance?

This is almost right up there with your "Just make all houses just cost €200k" stupid idea.

The average age on a lot of sites is now 50 and these are well paid jobs.
Kids these days do not want to do the hard graft anymore and that is a fact.

Just regarding your own post, let's not forget here the source here of this housing problem, that is Nama.
They managed to shut down and to liquidate practically every house construction company that was operating in this country back there in the bad days of the last recession.

Good post.

On the bolded bit it’s not so much that kids don’t want to do the hard graft. It’s more to do with parents outright not allowing them to do trades.

3rd level is cheap and easily attainable. Obviously a good thing. Any youngfella getting 300+ points in the leaving are going to college. I’ve a few with me who never wanted to go to 3rd level and only did so to satisfy parents. Dropped out after a year.


It might be a little bit of snobbery towards the trades but also the mass emigration of young men due to the construction collapse is still very fresh in the memory.

Construction should never have been halted. Michael O’ Flynn called it a decade ago that there would be a housing crisis down the line and was laughed at.

We could have built thousands of social houses while the private market recovered, kept young lads in the country and prevented the shit show we are currently dealing with.

The government were warned in 2014 to ramp up building.
As far back as 2017 Fr McVerry wanted the housing crisis declared a national emergency.
That lowlife Coveney promised in the same year there'd be nobody in emergency accommodation by July 2017.
We have 13,000, including 4000 children.
This government should be in prison.
Non stop lies.

How are people homeless and poor when our social welfare system is so generous, neverlone the charities.

You do realise a lot of people in emergency accommodation are also in full time employment?

I had a couple of guys here doing some electrical work for me, both are last year of their apprenticeship. They walked out of my house with €200 each, for 4 hours work. That was BTW cheap, I got quotes near to 2 grand from "proper" electricians. Their father followed the next day and certified their work. Loved it!

This government should be in prison.

Which laws would you you use to convict and imprison the entire Government?

The law of gravity?

We are not in one of the many truly rubbish countries that Sinn Fein loves that just sends members of parliament to prison on a whim

On a whim?
Promised nobody would be in emergency accommodation by July 2017 ?.
Promised no child would wait longer than 4 months for scoliosis operations?
Promised a new Children's Hospital would be open by 2022?.
Promised to abolish the USC ?.
Longest lockdown on the planet during Covid??.
Killed a homeless man by moving his tent with a digger while he was inside it??
Homelessness has gone from 1000 to 13000??
Billions spent housing refugees but wouldn't help Irish homeless as the crisis couldn't be solved overnight ??.
Leaked documents??
Claimed the banks weren't bailed out ??
Boasted about being the only government in history to bring in an eviction ban ??
On a whim?

I don't think they're going to stress themselves too much about the comments section on Cork Beo

Fu MOE, that's very hurtful.

I know Harris reads this thread to get my opinion every week.

Could she not just buy a house?

Surely you'd make a good stab at saving for a deposit over the course of 17 years

'After 17 years on housing list, we need a forever home', says Cork woman

The mother and daughter have overcome considerable personal tragedy in the last number of years
