    Imagine the skobies taking a shower in your house. Your water bill would escalate, and God knows what might block your drains.

    The anti-bedsit legislation was one of the most cack-handed, ill-thought-out piece of lawmaking in recent times. Totally head-in-the-clouds bollix, by some eejits who never would have found themselves in a bedsit anyway, and with not an iota of comprehension of the lives lived by people to whom bedsits are an important part and resource.

    If only someone would invent a process where an individual would get up in the morning and go somewhere for 8 hours during which time they would be given tasks to do and in exchange they would get money which they could in turn use to sort out their own accommodation and living expenses. Surely a system like that has to be better than living off the government and it's magical money tree.

    Ffs they knew all this before the shut down of bedsits was decided. As usual people are making decisions about situations(bedsits) that they know shag all about. Typical incompetence by the council. Clowns the lot of them.

    Was this guy elected?...what a ridiculous solution..pay people to take in homeless families.. who in their right mind would take a mother and kids into the spare room and have the house wedged with people that may have various issues?

    what the hell is wrong with these people his solution is to pay 4k a month in somebodies box room instead of 1500 for an apartment.

    Fair balls to you. You could bring her with you when you are going over to that Nigerian prince to get the money he's giving you. He might put her up.

    The landlords get 12k tax free for renting a room to students. Raise it to 16k for a foster family. Government could pay three families for price of one in hotels.

    One of the more sensible ideas tbh on liveline

    Because the State allowed tenants to buy house. The local authorities had no choice.

    Why do we need an organisation for rural resettlement? Isn't that what local authority staff are paid to do?

    I was passing through one of the large social housing areas in Cork last weekend and the Missus commented about all the boarded up houses. If a few bob was made available to get these houses fit for habitation then the problem mightn't be so bad. Also the fact that the clients can turn down 2 housing offers and still be on the housing list makes no sense either. :mad:
