The ones who get turfed out of rentals because the laws got changed and LL moved out of rental market. Too much risk for the LL so they moved to short terms rentals etc which is a lot easier. Described in details on lots of threads if you want to research.
It only takes a 5 year period of not building to create a huge demand, especially when the government has attracted lots of jobs to Ireland. As we seen below, 74 houses in 2018 for a city of 1m+ and at that stage we already had a homeless crisis. You could accuse the people involved in DCC at that stage of using political tactics to make the housing crisis even worse.
"As a tax payer" 😂 so we should change the entire country to suit your requirements because you pay tax? hate to tell you lots of people pay tax and the plans have to be for everyone. It goes back to the large brush strokes comments made on here just to get a reaction.
The government has to build houses/apartments, simple. Hopefully all parties come together to let that happen. If not don't expect it to get any better

The current one has investments in REITs ffs.
Why do you continue to push this lie?
The Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien has confirmed that he invested €30,000 into a real estate investment fund in 2008.
Mr O’Brien said that he lost 50pc of the investment when he sold it on for €15,000

Ireland is alot bigger than Dublin.
You blaming DCC for the housing crisis in Dublin?
Nothing to do with FF and FG sure
You seem to have issues with every single post and your interpretation. Did I say FF and FG had nothing to do with it? No I didn't
Capeesh?
And the ones were the landlord sold up of course.
You are really stretching the fabric of space and time trying to put a housing crisis that gets worse by the day on a 5 year span when an opposition party had more seats, but less than FF/FG combined and we'd a FG LA and housing minister.
Yes. Absolutely. Change the policies that make matters worse and cost us all more. Certainly.
I'll wholeheartedly support any moves the government make to build houses regardless of the parties involved.
It doesn’t get worse by the day, in fact more and more houses get built everyday and it helps but it will take time
My suggestion to you, since you are so concerned about housing. Go to the party you support and request them to work with the government to resolve the issue for the people of ireland. The wont lose your vote because the current government can be praised for it, but it’s about time to stop the messing around and fixed it.
Try that and see what they say?
Okay 'had'. I'll swap that out for the former FG housing advisor JCMcN being married to the then head of Goldman Sachs in Ireland. Shows the mindset of the party.
I wouldn't support a party that would help the current lot make matters worse. I'm not tied to a party. It's great.
More builds the tax payer has to subside for is not working.
You see, you don't really care about the housing crisis. The people that actual care don't worry about the tax money or which party. They just want the issue resolved.
You seem to be more interested in the housing crisis as it gives you a chance to have a pop at the government, which is the problem I see with a lot of people on here. If tomorrow morning the housing crisis was gone I would see a lot more people unhappy about it than actually happy, well especially on these threads
It would seem poor old Paddy Cosgrove forgot to read the article and not just the headline. A common problem with some opposition supporters on the internet
The best is the amount of online trolls who have fallen for it
The actual article. This guy is a total embarrassment to Ireland at this stage, would someone just send him over to Portugal and leave him with them

FF and FGs policies have failed regarding housing. Any amount if bullshit you say won't change it
Record prices
Record rents
Record homeless figures
And getting worse
Just add, Record waiting lists, quite some records this Government will be remembered for 😉
Incorrect
You need to check your sources for the information
What complete shite. Money wasted on making matters worse should concern everyone. Cop on. I think all the spin has you dizzy. Happy to see it spent on making things better.
Here we go, storytime with BA. Nobody wants to hear your psychological analysis horse. Try discussing the topics and answering questions.
Money is not wasted if the housing issue is resolved. It is a crisis and the government is right to invest to resolve the issue.
As I said plenty of people on here and in some political parties would prefer to see the issue get worse so they can continue to slate the government, they don't care about the actual people caught up in this.
I do care, I do hope it is resolved ASAP. I don't care which party gets the credit for it. But that is just me. Yet you accuse me of "all the spin has you dizzy", strange statement.
Did you?
“I do think it would be possible for us to win a referendum on joining a European defence (force)
FG underfunded the armed forces for years and now because Ukraine is a topic he's talking about this. Populist waster.
I agree. No they're not. They are making it worse..
That's your opinion because it suits your agenda.
I don't believe you'll ever see it if you think the current lot are investing in housing to try resolve it.
If the government are doing such a good job, I would love to know what doing a bad job looks like.
Leo Varadkar has insisted it is “possible” to win a referendum in Ireland to join a European defence force but says there is no political support to join Nato.
The Tánaiste added that this European defence force should have “close links” to Nato, despite Ireland having “no plans” to join the military alliance.
What is confusing you about that? 🙈
In regards to housing you are saying I am lying 🤣
As per my comment, I don't care what party gets credit, I would just like it resolved. Not like the carry on of some on here spending their life watching and hoping it gets worse so they can come on here and complain. No consideration for the people behind those numbers.
To me that is disgusting
I've brought this up with you before (when you spun out about understanding profit), but if a developer is building a luxury apartment complex (say 20 units) do they get to skip providing any of them for social tenants? That is what you are suggesting and I hope you realise why that is a bad idea.
The Green Party, Up to their necks in it
Not really, I wouldn’t promote that “journalist” website so do you have any proper papers/media who are reporting about this?
The Irish Examiner are also reporting it.
Thats probably not good enough either.
Really? Link because the one I read had nothing about Greens up to neck
Where was Cosgrave wrong?
No, I'm saying what I posted.
Like who? Where do you think FG and FF's support went? There are a hell of a lot of former FG and FF voters who have moved on. Your fantasy were everyone is either wrong or just hates FF/FG 'cause, is your theory.
The Green Party chairperson of the Oireachtas housing committee was warned about serious issues in An Bord Pleanála (ABP) this February but ignored the allegations.
Central to the allegations made to Green Party TD and committee chairperson Steven Mattews was the claim that ABP board members weren’t being assigned case files at random but were rather picking and choosing applications. The Irish Examiner last weekend reported that ABP deputy chairperson Paul Hyde, currently the subject of two investigations into alleged misconduct, voted on 75 of the 100 applications for telecommunications masts over the last 20 months. Fellow board member Michelle Fagan voted on 78 of the same applications.
Just two months after Matthews received this letter, The Ditch published the first in a series of articles raising governance issues at ABP. Social Democrats TD and housing spokesperson Cian O'Callaghan told The Ditch, “If government TDs were aware of serious allegations regarding An Bord Pleanála back in February, they should explain why these allegations were not investigated at that point.”
You continue to deflect, dosnt bother me
Guess that FFG will be upset with this too:
Regards...jmcc
Already an investigation underway.
Is there anything these chiselers touch that isn't turned rotten?
More than the investigation thats underway needed. Alot more has come out about ABP since the original investigation was started.
You know this but nice attempt to deflect
It's coming from the "journalist" you keep linking to which as I have already explained he is not a reliable source. So the investigation will confirm if true or not.
Remember this is the types of sources these lads use
