"Green" policies are destroying this country

Hopefully that changes under the new government.
We need immigrants that will come in and push Ireland inc to the next level.

How are FFG “ignoring” the capacity constraint?
They can’t magic up builders!
Getting builders in from outside is what is being pushed.
The new planning build is supposed to speed up the planning process- that was ff/fg

seriously! its been obvious, since the 08 crash, that we havent been building enough, thats ignoring the problem! and who have been the main government parties since 08?

where have ffg implemented policies to encourage people into construction, including encouraging immigrants into these sectors, particularly since 08?

its been well documented that output has been far below whats required, so where have ffg been?

its clearly obvious the plan was to re-inflate markets, i.e. demand side stimulation, i.e. increase prices, to try stimulate supply, its not working, and wont!

I'd assume he's referring to idiot O'Gorman sending out a tweet in 8 languages promising own door accommodation to all arrivals/asylum seekers. The tweets he pretends he didn't ever send and knows nothing about.

He did, it was even reported in the newspapers. He deleted them and has lied about it ever since. Thankfully some people saved them at the time so every time people claim he didn't send them it can be proved that he did. And the same people will go on about misinformation which is slightly ironic.

This is his side of it from Dail record.

The Government made a commitment in the Programme for Government to end the current system of accommodation for International Protection applicants and replace it with a new model that is based on a not for profit approach. As part of this process I published A White Paper to end Direct Provision and to Establish a new International Protection Support Service on 26 February 2021. This paper sets out a new approach for accommodating applicants that seek International Protection in Ireland.

"Own-door" in the context of the White Paper does not mean an applicant is given possession of a property, it means the property provided by the state for temporary habitation to a person while their application for international protection is being assessed has its own door into a family unit, and is not a congregated accommodation setting.

As part of the process to publish the White Paper tweets were issued from my department in 8 languages, not 47 as stated in your question. These were English, Irish, Albanian, Arabic, French, Georgian, Somali and Urdu. These are the most common languages spoken by those who were residing in Direct Provision accommodation at that time. Communications with residents are regularly made available in relevant languages. "

If that was all this thread is about then after today there is pretty much nothing left to bash.

I thought they would get a bit of a walloping, but it looks as if they will be annihilated.

Back to tree hugging 🙃

Migrants building houses for more migrants.

Solid plan. Absolutely nothing can go wrong.

Over the moon. The Greens have done a lot of damage to this state in energy security, carbon tax rises and infrastructure obstruction especially roads - they also have been failures in every department they've had.

Deservedly dismissed by the electorate.

And so the cycle of coalition dismemberment continues. The minority party gets wiped out.

It's all too predictable in Irish politics. To blame all the issues on the incumbent govt. on the Greens is just downright laughable. Living rural (in different parts of Ireland over the years) but hailing from a big city, it's almost cult-like, the dislike for the Greens. Tbh, i'm not a fan of all their policies or all their elected TD's, far from it (personal pref. Would be for us to build a Nuclear power plant for example), but to blame it on all on them and not even acknowledge some of the positive things they've done in govt. points at tribal bias two dimensional bs.

The clowns who advocated ripping up perfectly good tram and train tracks in the mid-20th century in favour of 1 single mode of transport would likely even acknowledge (if they could) that they didn't realise we'd become an almost 1 car per adult nation. Building bigger roads alone doesn't solve congestion, it's well known internationally. Safer, aligned, better grade roads, yes, but you need a balanced high quality, interconnected system of public transport and private cars. Planning here is just atrocious for that reason and so i think we'll go backwards in that regards.

The next shower in coalition will be shafted too by the big boys, a nice punching bag.

But there's more coming in yearly then that. And a huge number are "obligated" to be housed never mind the skilled economic immigrants who'll be buying/renting.

Something needs to give because if we go crazy trying to build too many houses the next global recession could finish us.
