    Walked past the beautiful new Social Affordable estate of about 20 houses near my house.

    Shocked to see 4 overweight women walking around in their pajamas at 10.40 am

    I thought this behaviour was just a stereotype.

    Shame as it looked like the estate was very nice.

    Hoping it's just a Covid thing, but how can people do that?

    This is why social and private housing should NOT be mixed. My children should not have to witness Jacinta, Anto and the rest of the vermin marching around in PJs and dressing gowns.

    We’ve become tone deaf in this country.

    I’m too old fashioned I suppose but it’s part of the modern trend of people thinking that they have the right to do anything that they like regardless of the rest of the population, they are probably the people who dump rubbish in quiet places at dead of night

    A lazy, selfish, free loading lifestyle which the rest of us have to pay for.

    Are you talking about bankers?

    New dwellings must comply with the latest building regulations, which is part of the reason they're 'nice'. Would people be happier if we had a suite of 'lesser' building regulations which only applied to social housing?

    Yep

    Unfortunately you are not alone in this, shame on you! Do you really want to live in a country that’s a rubbish dump?

    All of you people sitting at home are "pajamas people" now. Get a little humility and perspective.

    The library is doing free call outs to people like yourself that are sitting at home getting state benefits while people like me are out working my hole off. I suggest you go ahead and ask for Mein Kampf. Plenty in there that will interest you.

    Welcome to my world. In my estate there are 10 council houses inhabited by the pyjama wearing, orange tan, hoop earring wearing variety. Add their teenage offspring who drink cans in the green areas and shout at the elderly residences.


    Will the Council or Garda enforce anti-social rules? Don't hold your breathe for it.

    When did people lose self respect, what did we do as a society?
    When I was young everyone seemed to have more respect for each other and themselves, there was a sense of community which has gone, certainly in urban areas, this is a serious question!

    It’s more than that. I grew up in a council house and my father was often on the dole and my mother made sure her children didn’t do the same and she made sure that we went to school and did well, the state paid for me to go to university and our neighbours were supportive and now young people from there tell me that they get jeered by their peer group when they go to university

    Your father was often on the dole, but he also worked. I’m talking about people who are entirely reliant on welfare, generationally, and have no desire to work at all.

    Its the new Ireland that many of the PC brigade crave for, sad to see the lack of respect humans have for themselves and their communities...we might end up having a reverse darwin process ending up back at Ape-Monkey stage soon

    But why? Do they have no wish to escape, that is what I don’t get, my mother cleaned houses and I never heard her complain, the people that she worked for gave her the clothes we all wore

    I live in a social/private development and its great. Yeah there are one of two scumbags families but the rest are grand.

    Our kids play with a variety of kids in the area and as far as im aware so do all the other children. Think it's a great idea mixing people from different social backgrounds personally.

    Fantastic. Sounds like a close knit group.

    Can't really say anything about what happened. Drugs in the 80s and 90s? Softening of rules? Rise of the nanny State?

    I think you are barking up the wrong tree there. In one chapter, the author of that particular work was blatantly IN FAVOUR of people being in pyjamas outdoors.

    You do realise that every generation of hand wringers before you has said almost the exact same thing - pretty much word for word?

    Think carefully, I bet your parents said the same thing about society they grew up in compared to the one they found as adults.

    And I bet their parents said the same.


    People are mind numbingly predictable and boring.
