The Action Plan for Housing.

No it isn't. Look it's clear from your last few posts, that you can neither grasp inflation nor maths so it I won't be interacting any further. Best of luck in your bubble.

Cool

To get jobs and presumably an ok life abroad.
Nowadays that's not guaranteed. UK isn't a good option, USA is closed. Australia has similar renting accommodation problems to us.
The past is a different country to now but not necessarily a worse one all things considered, just different.

It was rubbish.

A backward insular State with mad tribal war in the North and a church controlling the place-few jobs and mass emigration with 18% mortgage interest rates as well as no divorce/social rights etc. Crap roads and daft nationalists warbling on about a 4th green field while people were just legging it for a better life.

People move here now to work hard and to get a better life as some countries are just closed and focked.

If you want to depend on the state to get you a council house you will be waiting a long time.

You probably wouldn't feel the same if you were in your late 30s living with your parents or if you were in a hotel room indefinitely with young kids.
My wife's family were piss poor in the 80s but they always had a house with a kitchen and a sitting room with a fire place.
Try raising small kids in a hotel room.
Thats a new level of poverty all together.

Your post justs smacks of diehard blueshirt.

Things were so crap in the 80's that Ireland even had to have its own Live-Aid.




U2 up on stage begging for jobs.

Full empoloyment and plenty of opportunity out there now for those who are willing.

No one is even denying the shortage of homes etc but there is no quick fix as the construction industry is working at maximum capacity.

Looking at the bleak 80's in Ireland with rose-tinted glasses is just bizarre.

Yeah, You didn't experience any of that.
The fact that you're trying to paint the 80s as shit when you and yours wouldn't know hardship if it came up to you wearing a dust bin bag with the words I'm hardship written in birdshit across it is laughable.
Go on voting Fine Gael and denigrating working families living in hotel rooms.

The 80's were indeed "shit" and only a fool would suggest otherwise or even long for their return.

I have not "denigrated" anyone and you know nothing whatsoever about me.

Poverty in Ireland declined last year to a record low.

Only 3.6% experienced consistent poverty - the lowest level ever recorded.

The number at risk of poverty declined too.

Times are tough now but nowhere near as bad as young people in the 80s had it. It’s simply delusion to suggest otherwise.

Living in a hotel room in the 80s = fuck all.
Living in a hotel room now= At the end of May 2022, 972 families in the capital were residing in emergency accommodation,

Nice picture.
I lived in Cork then and now. There are way more people on the streets now.

The population has grown by almost 2 million since the 80s. There are too many people on the streets without doubt. That doesn’t mean that the 80s are better than now. People are far better off now than ever before. The fact that life is more expensive now is a consequence of that. Economic growth is almost always accompanied by inflation.
