    Living on the rock and roll, knocking a one up the pole seems to be the easiest way in obtaining a house these days.
    When will the ordinary working person who has the dinner in the middle of the day get looked after?

    Never mind the advertisers, who like to pretend we are all middle class, so we will buy as much of their junk as possible.
    Anyone who has to work for a living out of necessity is in reality working class.

    In reality, there are three classes of people in Ireland. The welfare class, the working class, and the connected class.

    The working class are worked and taxed to death, from the cradle to grave, to pay for the other two classes.

    There's a nice cosy little arrangement between both the welfare class and the connected class in Ireland, if you don't mess with us, we won't mess with you. This nice little arrangement has always worked extremely well for both.

    The only time it was forgotten was when the connected class made the huge strategic mistake of extending the water charges to the welfare class.
    If the had not made that mistake we, the working people of Ireland, would be paying water charges directly, instead of through general taxation of us.
    Other than that blip, it's been a very smooth arrangement for them both.

    Oh and by the way there is no housing crisis, what we actually have is Dublin concentration crisis, but that's for another thread.

    Midnight on a Saturday and another social housing thread is the best you can do? Unoriginal - D minus for effort

    What not tackle the real issues like why McDonald's are trying to kill us all with the Fiery Chicken Buffalo one?

    Other people won't give you a proper answer. You will be in your new house by the end of next January.

    I don't see an issue with social housing - private rents are gone insane. Unfortunately there are the sponges, but there will always be people who genuinely need a helping hand too.

    The reality is, wages have fallen in real terms since the crash.
    Rents have increased.


    It's not only those on the "rock and roll" as the op called it who are in need of social housing anymore. It's now a pretty significant group of the working poor, too.


    That's not the fault of those who are claiming welfare.


    That's a much bigger problem with the system - but sure why bother to question the reasons. It's much easier to blame those who don't make the big decisions. They don't have a big expensive PR firm (paid for by the taxpayers), to explain why there is insufficient housing, or steer the conversation away from the fact that houses, and rents, are ridiculously overpriced..........

    The ordinary working person doesn't have dinner in the middle of the day.

    I dunno. Rents are gone crazy - not just in Dublin. People cannot afford to buy either, and there is a shortage of accommodation. Leaving aside the folk who don't work and who think they are entitled to get a home sorted for them wherever they want, the first things I mentioned are affecting those who work and pay their way.

    My parents' first home in south Dublin cost them 5 grand, that house would be worth in excess of half a million today. It's madness.

    Yes they do, perharps you are working in an office. Not real work, where a few bits of lettuce will keep you going while you press a few keyboard keys.

    How original. A dole bashing, slut shaming thread

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    It's a free country, you can have dinner when ever you want to!
    In fact, I'm having dinner right now.
