When will we see trailer parks in Ireland for the homeless/evicted/broke/poor folks?

MrDarcy

Ok I know, we have halting sites in Ireland but they are for a specific type of nomadic community that desire to be able to move around...

I'm just asking when will we see US type trailer parks for those that are homeless but who are not part of the ethnic community that we refer to here as the travelling community??? I mean people/families who end up homeless due to the economic collapse???

We call that England, don't we?

Eh, we have a social welfare system in this country.

No time soon, I'd imagine.

God I hope not, you never know though, the way this country is going anything is possible,

Ireland could really do with some trailer trash.

Then we could have NASCAR. That'd be awesome.

Hopefully never... as i imagine it will start a new social class and no doubt a new stigma....

Thank god for social welfare....although i am not on it.. Nor is the 5000 homeless people in ireland by the looks of it.

We have them already they're called halting sites. Most halting sites are populated by "travellers" who have been halted for quite some time.

The entire place is a trailer park in spirit. Except we don't do trailers in Ireland for the most part so we stick our white trash in government funded colonies.

I'd say a lot of them are on it, it's just that heroin / drink comes higher up than rent on their list of priorities

St Margaret isn't ballymun. It's also a traveller halting site so doesn't fit the op.

In this world of negative equity soon the homeless will be kings!

Sweet Daddy Dee: [talking about NASCAR] NASCAR, that's another dumbass cracka sport.

Jeff: NASCAR's very popular.

Sweet Daddy: I know that, I just don't get it. What's it, grown, white men, going five hundred miles in a circle! What the hell!? What kinda three and a half hours is this? [imitating viewers] "Look, they're making a left turn! Oh they're makin' another left turn! Oh they're makin' another left turn! I wonder what's gonna happen next!" [imitating commentators] "Let's go to commercials. Come back in ten minutes - you ain't gonna miss a ****in' thing!"

Why build trailer parks, nama will own 90 thousand houses, apartments,Maybe they could let the homeless live in them, save millions on rent allowance payments.

Can we please stop these threads?

We're not all living in our own muck despite what you'd think if you only read Boards. Look outside... you might even see the sun shine once in a while.
