Newly built social homes sitting idle for over 8 months in Wexford

Are they travellers who won't move in because of a lack of space for horses or something like that?

Edit. Yep.

Fuckin knew it.

No mediation needed, these wasters should immediately lose the houses and go to the back of list for another offer. Entitled bastards.

Seems obvious from another article linked to in the same article you linked to, why the families are unwilling to move into accommodation which is only being provided on a temporary basis by the Council while it is the Council who appears to be stalling on providing suitable accommodation for the families needs -

The families involved expressed major concerns over some of the conditions which were to be imposed on them upon taking up residence in the new homes and informed the council that they would rather remain on the Park site until the group site housing scheme is provided.

It’s the Council appears to be at fault here, not the families who are refusing temporary accommodation which if they took it, would mean a further delay in providing them with suitable accommodation under an already existing housing scheme -

The state of the art homes on Belvedere Road have been left idle while negotiations are ongoing with families currently occupying an illegal halting site at Park. Despite the families having rejected the homes in writing, Wexford County Council have persisted in trying to persuade them to take up residence in the Belvedere houses on a “temporary basis”, until a group housing scheme they are entitled to under the Traveller Accommodation Plan is put in place.

Fcuk that traveller accommodation plan. It's a load of boll1x that they can refuse a house because it doesn't have room for their horse.

What's a buffer?

Travellers want to be treated equal yet want special privileges too (space for their horses). They are either equal or they are not.

I don't mean to be hard hearted here but either you need a house or you don't need a house.

Fcuk your council housing, I've a horse outside,

And fcuk your A2 BER's I've me horse outside,

Fcuk your two grand a year rent, I've a horse outside,

And fcuk your housing lists, Cos my horse is outside.

Not at all what I'm saying and you know well that's not what I'm saying. But just to humour you, a wheelchair user physically needs a ramp to access the house. A traveller doesn't need a horse to access the house.

This is the country we live in where wasters get everything and working people get screwed at every turn.

I'm going to say it as clearly as I can.

Mr. Wheelchair user. We have to provide you with a house. Here's your house and here's a ramp for you to access it.

Mr. Traveller. We have to provide you with a house. Here's your house. You don't need a horse or a ramp to access it so we are providing neither.

Here Mr. AndrewJRenko. We have to provide you with a house. Here's your house. You don't need a horse or a ramp to access it so we are providing neither.

Here Mr. Traveller. If you have a wheelchair, we'll provide you with a ramp to access your house. You're still not getting us to provide facilities for your horses.

What has equity got to do with horses?

Great to see that we’ve moved on your understanding of equality. That’s good progress for a Saturday afternoon.

Now how did you work out that stables for horses are the blocking issue here in Wexford?

I wish I'd a photo of a 6 bungalow development in a town in the Midlands, built to high spec about 12 years ago for the "Ethnically Recognised cohort" . If people saw what it's been turned into, there'd be absolute uproar, it's actually on full view as trains leave the town in question and its outrageous, so bad the local authority has just abandoned it from what I've heard, a sespit, so to speak .

Windows , Doors taken out, Roof slates missing , one bungalow practically burnt to the ground , I'm told Cooper piping removed along with every appliance that was installed on completion.

Outside each bungalow, A mobile home parked in driveways and more scattered around the development essentially the bungalows cleared out and abandoned and destroyed.

The green area now, is essentially a landfill dump and in another area, pony's tied up.

These homes were built at enormous cost and have essentially been destroyed and yet we hear the do gooders and Pavy point moaning and whinging about the standards at halting sites, again supplied at enormous tax payer cost.

You'd have to wonder about those on the waiting list ,living near the development in question , they must be absolutely livid and sickened by this shenanigans. Mediation my hole, give these homes to people who will actually appreciate them and dare I say have been waiting far longer than the Cultural Cohort being given these properties.

So you’ve know idea what the hold up is, that’s what I thought.

I know absolutely nothing about what’s happening here in Wexford btw. That’s why I don’t pretend to know the problems or have the solution on this issue,

If, like me, you’ve no idea what is going on, maybe you shouldn’t be pontificating about it?
