    And the 20k figure was reported on only a couple of weeks ago. Why is she so confident it can be dismissed.

    The same figure was quoted in 2016 and it is bullsh1t Comparison due to a different way of measuring homelessness

    Is it a case of not getting knocked out figuratively speaking in this debate for all of the party leaders ?

    There is no question Doherty should be leader, very capable politician.

    Capable of what? Is he not supporting the stupid policies such as reducing the pension age?

    Health? If the other two can't absolutely nail Varadkar on this, they might as well give up on everything.

    not one voter believes either SF or FF can fix the HSE though so its not the knockout blow it should be

    But throwing money at the problem won't solve it, it's once of the best financed health services on the face of the earth.

    Agree. Money is not the answer.

    I think it's widely reported he doesn't want it, has a young family etc.
    He is a terrific politician

    No clear winner so far, or likely to emerge for that matter.

    Completely different systems, different politics, even a different culture if you will. SF are a different party on each side of the border in reality.

    They're an all Ireland party, MLMcD is the president of the party island wide. They're the one party. Don't take it from me, take it from themselves, like I already said.

    Leo bears no responsibility for the state of the health service whatsoever. The people of Ireland are to blame for that. They want jobs, they want inefficiency, they want crummy hospitals in every corner of the country. Until they face up to this fact, there is no point critiising the politicians for not being able to improve it.

    Was it reported ? I hadn’t heard that reported so was surprised to hear that number quoted.

    Sorry, misread date, it's from a year ago.

    https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/20000-northern-ireland-households-are-now-homeless-37719853.html

    Most articles other when I search for the numbers seem to reference homeless death stats.

    They said they could do that, and everything else..

    Like it or not, they knew about those problems when they took over, and they still had (counting on fingers.. 1, 2, 3...) 9 years..
    That hasn't changed.

    MM health answer much stronger than Leo's . Treatment purchase fund is hugely effective to be fair and will immediately help waiting lists.
