    There are people living in tents on the street s,
    there are people sleeping on the streets at night with just a sleeping bag .why are they not living in a hotel.
    i presume its because they use drugs or else the do not want to live with other people,
    hotels for the hotels have rules,
    you have to go out at 12 noon, you need to come back before 11.30 pm.
    does each homeless person get one room to themselves.
    i do not know .

    The hostels are full of drugs and drug addicts, are frequently raided and can be violent. That's why many prefer to steer clear of them.

    No not for cocooning. DCC have for the past few years had a number of them apartments taken for homeless but now they have the whole building for them

    I think Staycity are holiday apartments, when the pandemic presented , I'm nearly certain they were taken up by DCC in conjunction with the HSE to take homeless off the streets.

    Not according to a woman I know who has lived in one. Although that one may have been particularly bad.

    Ah well I was of the same opinion. Do not give them nothing do not feel addiction and such. Only till I met and talked with one addict.
    Now I give them some small change when I have some as it is much better when they can get enough by begging than going around stealing or offering sexual services.

    I prefer to see them in front of a shop rather than trying your back door in the middle of the night.

    On a side note it may be worth to discuss decriminalizing and legalizing drug use. That may reduce begging problem significantly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,853 ✭✭✭messrs


    Why are DCC not obliged to reserve 10% for private rental. Seems to be obligatory the other way around.

    A tongue in cheek observation, obviously.

    They are mainly short term lets - along the likes of AirBNB - so people coming to Dub would book in just for weekend or few days - self catering apartments but serviced like hotels


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,205 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    I knew someone who worked with the homeless and they said "Fu*k them, can't fu*king help them" - funny isn't it? - but society doesn't wanna hear that tho. People will say ah help the poor homeless and the homeless should have services. Sure some sort themselves out but fact is most don't.

    I know someone who was homeless when they were younger (going back to the 60s/70s) and they often said how "people will give you nothing" ...

    Sure if I sat down on O'Connell Street bridge for 8 hours and if everyone gave me 5c who past by, I'd be taking it in. But that doesn't happen because most don't give. Fair enough. But you see threads like this where people go on about how they give, blah blah blah lies. Sure some people genuinely give but MORE people like to lie and say they give. An undying need to come off as "a good person" in the eyes of others.


    /Rant :pac:

    If you give homeless people money you are either helping them buy alcohol, drugs or funding organised crime,

    I know I know hopefully it's only alcohol

    There is zero logic in that.

    How has legalising anything reduced its demand?
    If you dont reduce the demand, how will it reduce the price?
    if you dont reduce its price, how will you reduce the need to beg?

    How do legal drugs stop people begging, junkies register, they go to a clinic and get free drugs.
    Begging is not organised,
    It's random homeless people looking for money , is it money to buy drugs or beer or cigarettes, I do not know.
    In America where drugs are to some extent legal there's still people begging
    Eg there are shops that sell marijuana
    Also illegal drugs may be cheaper
    Drug dealers do not charge 20 per cent vat
    Drug dealers do not have to pay insurance or rates or taxes

    Thats the second time you have said that and it remains absolutely untrue. Where are you getting that from?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,155 ✭✭✭StereoSound


    No excuse to be homeless in Ireland, you can get a HAP payment almost immediately after you get your name on the housing list. Not sure how genuine homeless people come about being homeless in the first place ? Social welfare has an emergency payment while your waiting on a decision from them to grant you... If you have no means they will give it to you.

    These groups of non nationals begging are organised groups with a ring leader. Sick looking at them rotating their 'door' duty at the same few shops around my area. They surely have their HAP and social welfare payments.

    There was one Irish guy that I would see sitting around a small shop in Rathfarnham, well spoken chap and he seemed genuine. I occasionally dropped a euro or 2 into his cup. 3 years later and he is still sitting there so I assume now he is a waster and got use to begging so I never go near him anymore. Saw him the other day dancing outside the shop with headphones with his cup in hand... He seemed pissed or on something..

    They surely have their HAP and social welfare payments.

    If you read the thread you would see this has been addressed multiple times. To get access to social welfare you need a PPS number, to get a PPS number you need to show you are genuinely able to care for yourself for the duration of your stay in Ireland*

    *This is in fact an EU directive that is enforced in all EU states. Try and claim welfare in spain, France or Germany and see what happens as well. The Brexit nonsense needs to be let go with Brexit.

    My friend lived in one for 2 years (homeless)
    Was never raided, although there was drugs and SOMETIMES fights broke out.
    He has plenty of videos on his phone though of drug addicts shooting up.

    He told me his only worry staying in them places was his stuff getting robbed.
    Most of the addicts in the place were to out of there face to be violent. But they would robbed the runners off your feet if they could.
    He had to tie his laces tight going to bed as he had 2 incideneces of people trying to take his runners while sleeping.

    Thought he was messing with me but he was very serious.

    Again no. I dunno why it needs to be repeated constantly but Gypsies and in fact no person can just rock into Ireland and voila, welfare.

    I know biased propaganda would have us believe that but its not true. I am married to a foreign national, my children are not Irish. Its not that simple.

    Very few Gypsies have PPS numbers because they have no interest in legitimate work and want to stay off the official radar. Its a mission to obtain their Romanian (Or other) ID cards off them sometimes.

    Now if they really thought longterm, they could arrive with money in the bank and a place in a language school, get a PPS and then get a job long enough to qualify for welfare. Possible some do but they arent the ones I have met



    Thats incorrect. While the rate is very very low, there is a nominal fee involved for single people to obtain a place in a homeless shelter outside of the emergency ones. Theres also a curfew or the bed goes elsewhere.

    If you reckon loads of gypsies aren't on HAP & social welfare you are a true loony. There are Gypsy kids at school in Ireland.

    As there is Polish, Chinese, Brazilian, Spanish, French, Swedish. Are the parents begging? Are they on welfare?

    Kids in school doesnt prove any of that in the slightest and Im genuinely baffled how you jump from seeing a foreign kid in school to lazy welfare sponging bastards


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 736 ✭✭✭Doff


    I asked one if they wanted a drink or sandwich once when going into a shop and I was met with a look of disgust and a "No" as if I had just offended them. Another time I was on the phone as I walked into the shop. I was trying to find out what I needed to pick up, when the fella begging called me an ignorant bastard. I really haven't had any good experience with them, ever.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,129 ✭✭✭Sandor Clegane


    A guy in my town sits outside shops every day begging yet he has a house a little bit up the road from where I live.

    He obviously gets his dole and more yet still does it.

    Addressed multiple times by you ....
    Do you actually believe the bit in bold is enforced in Ireland? We have a very sizeable cohort of Roma Gypies living in social housing in Ireland. They will admit it themselves that the majority of them do not work, and many of these people are involved in illegal activities and organised begging all around Ireland.

    There is a saying about pissing in our faces and telling us that it's raining; that is apt in this situation.

    First up, you want me to prove a negative? You should know this cant be achieved and is a silly request.

    Second, I refered very specifically to Gypsies obtaining PPS numbers. Dont move the goalposts.

    Third, I have no doubt that Irish beggers are in reciept of welfare as they have an automatic right to a PPS number and state aid. Again thats irelevent and a pretty obvious attempt to move the goalposts.

    Fourth, I speak from personal experience working with Gypsies and other beggers including Irish alongside homeless charities, embassies and social welfare departments. This I cannot prove, so its for you to accept at face value or not.

    Now, proof to backup your actual statement?

    Appreciate the feedback. I often wonder why homeless people choose where they do to bunk down for the night. I would be terrified to sleep in the doorway of a main business street. I understand that shelter from the rain is a priority hence sleeping in a place under an awning or some kind of protection but there must be thousands of spots in the city where you could be sheltered and not have the worry of some thug attacking you or urinating on you in your sleep. I think I would sneak into the grounds of a church after dark and hopefully find a dry spot. It would be quiet and no passersby to fcuk with you. You wouldn't have the cacophony of delivery trucks and stuff like that rumbling around you at 7am.



    I would challenge anyone to take to the streets for a few weeks and practise what they preach. You have the clothes on your back, a sleeping bag and maybe 5 or 10 euros. You can't call any rich uncle for help to put you up in the Shelbourne. Your first 3 nights you HAVE to sleep rough. So the 10 euros goes towards something to eat. After that it's beginning to get dark and you need to find a place to sleep. You've called the freefone number but it's too late because all the available beds are taken. So you decide on the GPO. You don't get a wink of sleep (try sleeping on your kitchen floor with the doors open, the lights on and the radio playing...but at least you won't have to worry about getting kicked in the head by drunken scrotes going home from the club in your kitchen). You get up at 8am, shivering, knackered and nauseous. Oh and now you need to take a massive sh1t. Where does that happen? You try McDonallds but security refuse you entry. You try a few more places with the same result and eventually resort to a back alley. Newspaper to do the wiping. 3 or 4 days of that and you're going to look and smell pretty ripe. But now it's time to get one of those jobs that are so easy to come by. Do you rock up to the IFSC and stroll into the lobby of JP Morgan and ask for an application form? Walk into a restaurant, bar, retail outlet? Good luck with that.In the meantime you need money for food. Where does that come from. So you get a free sandwich and a cup of tea/soup...great. Try living on tea and a processed sandwich with no fruit or vegetables for a few days and see how you look. See how your skin is, your bowels, your eyes. Then go for that interview stinking to high heaven with no fixed abode.



    I'm sure they'll throw a 20 grand signing-on bonus at you, replete with company car, use of the corporate box at Anfield and a generous remuneration package.


    Thank you for this reality.

    Lol, am I meant to reply to comments where you refer to silly requests? You are fare less important than you think.

    Again, I asked were you a Roma gypsy ............. you are disputing that there are Roma gypsys on HAP that are begging, it's a ludicrous viewpoint.

    You are asking me to prove that there are Roma gypsies in receipt of HAP that are begging, how can I prove that factually yo your satisfaction on here?

    It's like me asking you to prove your wife and children were not born in Ireland and had to go through the system at various stages.............

    4.2 Accommodation
    93.3% of respondents reported feeling discriminated against in accessing accommodation. In
    some cases, respondents stated that landlords said they do not accept Roma tenants, but in other
    cases, people would simply be told that the accommodation was now taken. Service providers
    also reported witnessing direct discrimination with landlords refusing to accept Roma as tenants.
    When in accommodation, 66.3% of the respondents reported feeling discriminated against by
    a landlord or local authority. In focus groups, the participants explained that the current housing
    crisis in Ireland was aggravating the situation as it was a ‘landlords’ market’.

    Page 54 mentions "When in accommodation, 66.3% of the respondents reported feeling discriminated against by
    a landlord or local authority" ............ that suggests they have PPS numbers or at least or in receipt of HAP, are none of these ROMA folk begging? 100% none of them are, I have to prove that for you to believe that some might be?

    You have no doubt that Irish beggers are in reciept of welfare as they have an automatic right to a PPS number and state aid nut won't believe any ROMA beggers are on HAP, a wildly naïve viewpoint at best, more likely you are just being contrarian.

    I'm hardly going to be going through your posts to see where you are helping non nationals with accommodation am I, FFS.

    Im unsure what aspects of this you think proves your point. That private landlords descriminated against Roma Gypsies doesnt prove that the applicants were either begging or in reciept of any social welfare/

    If the councils refused them I am again unsure how you think this proves your point. Perhaps they were discriminated against because as I said, they lacked PPS numbers? Or because they didnt qualify via means testing, or because they failed to satisfy habitual residency requirements? Or because they couldnt provide proof of income?

    I think that goes against your argument. Your argument is that they are BEGGING AND IN RECIEPT OF HAP AND HOUSING. Prove it.

    Except it doesnt, that doesnt state where they are living, what they are claming, what their income is. None of it, its a generic statement that doesnt seperate council and private rentals. You know that yes? You realise that your post doesnt provide any proof that a Roma gypsy has been provided with social welfare and is begging since getting off the plane. Thats the allegation, again its YOUR allegation so its for YOU to prove.

    Again you move the goalposts. I didnt say there were no Gpsies claiming HAP. I said there are no Gypsies claiming HAP without a PPS number and that they arent arrving into Dublin airport and getting PPS numbers without proof they can support themselves by means other than begging. Many foreign nationals arrive into Ireland with money in the bank and employment oppertunities but things go wrong and they fall on hard times. Thats NOT what you are claiming here.

    regardless of believing me or not, can YOU provide evidence that supports your claim that Roma gypsies are landing into Ireland and obtaining PPS numbers and social welfare from the day of arrivaland without passing any checks being conducted then relying on begging for income.

    Thats YOUR statement, thats YOUR claim. Not half of it, not one aspect of it. ALL of it

    I don't believe any proof has been produced that they are claiming welfare and free houses either, has it?

    They get the money for rent from begging of course. I dare say a bit of stealing from time to time as well. I don't recall saying otherwise.

    Did you see the part where he was claiming since 1999? The part where he was an asylum seeker NOT here under EU travel agreements? hmmm?

    He was eligable as a result of satisying habitual residence requirements by the way. Something I already mentioned.

    I assume you have proof that he was begging? That he is a gypsy?

    All the ****e you keep coming out with, you cant prove any of it. Its your bias and pub ****e talk only. Have you ever actually spoken with a Gypsy begger even?

    lol

    Carry on kid ............. you live in delusional lala land if you reckon some Roma folk aren't on HAP and begging also.

    You are the one coming out with sh1t, reckoning your own case is anyway analogous to Roma gypsies who are notorious scammers.

    so the answer would be no, you have no proof, no personal experence or indeed knowledge of the requirements and no personal interaction but you know better than me. Gotcha

    and this proves what exactly?

    again any proof hes a gypsy and begging? gonna ignore his status in the state? Right so

    and this proves what exactly?..........

    The fact he was claiming under a different name actually means that he wasn't claiming under his own name.............."Did you see the part where he was claiming since 1999?........"

    It's quite significant.

    What status in the state does someone have who was claiming social welfare under a previous name. You can't rock up and use that as proof you've been here for x years.

    Do you understand what fraud is?
    "The court was told he first arrived in Ireland in 1998 and was refused asylum but returned the following year, under the assumed name of Eduard Preda, and granted asylum. He then began collecting social welfare using this false identity."

    Indeed, because he was claming asylum from a non EU state. Its very significant indeed. Not in proving your claims that Roma gypsies are running around claming everything and begging without PPS numbers

    NOw, about that proof....

    or personal experience....

    or knowledge of the system......

    What makes you an authority to claim there are no Roma gypsies begging in Ireland whilst in receipt of HAP?

    Absolutely nothing ......... you sh1t on about non relevant stuff moving the goalposts and asking folk to prove there are Roma gypsies begging in Ireland whilst in receipt of HAP .......... lunacy.

    wipe the froth off your keyboard kid.

    the only one saying they don't have PPS numbers is yourself, you know full well some of them do .......... but you've dug such a hole now you can't admit that.

    Hence why you have a spiel "u cannot come to Ireland and get SW and HAP etc when you land off the plane"

    right, well hardly any point in going on with this, you have failed to produce anything to prove your argument and clearly do not intend to.

    Not at all ................. I'm saying there are Roma folk in receipt of HAP and SW who are begging......... in response to that this spiel "u cannot come to Ireland and get SW and HAP etc when you land off the plane" was introduced to the topic.
