I would much rather a hike in fuel rather than an increase in motor tax! Already paying 1500 a year for mine.

Nope even though some seem to do alright. Thankfully most of us have a work ethic and want to work and make our lives better. Saying that if I won the lotto

As it recently got confirmed the super rich in this country pay fuck all tax and to keep them happy the burden is spread evenly so that the ones at the other end have pay most in relation to what they have. So nothing new there but also no surprise the same bunch of crooks in power and unfortunately will be voted in again and again....

Im far from a radical.theres actually more than 200 thousand...theres an extra 62 thousand holiday homes..those propertys are abandoned...or defaulted...or owned by banks..

Make rent affordable is one thing...council houses that are affordable and meet the requirements of the people...

If only it was that easy. Alot, granted not all, of the familes that are homeless at the moment will not leave the cities and towns they are located in to live in holiday homes and rural areas. And even if they did the small amount of support systems they currently have would be gone. A home is only half a solution if they then cannot afford food, clothing and education.

I am in no way professing to be an expert and I dont have any better solutions, I think calling it a housing crisis is misleading we have much deeper problems than just getting these people accomodation anywhere at all.

Peter mcverry and other ngos have being putting these proposals to government for the last number of years, compulsory purchase orders maybe? Were quite possibly talking billions here..there are no council properties, thats the hub of the problem,pardon the pun..

Sure they can introduce it, and the wealthy people will just leave,taking the jobs the companies they with them.then you have more on benefits less paying tax and and the extra money the wealthy people just spend day to day on stuff...it’s an impossible conundrum

"

I agree about the affordable rent it needs to be a complete overhaul of our approch to the tax and welfare system that will take years to do if its donr correctly. Until then its patchwork.

And the problem is the people respnsible for doing any of it rely on votes

The homeless crisis are not my words, but peter mcverrys..im certainly no expert on these matters, but i am inclined to listen to a man of his experience in trying to deal with these issues over a life time..i think we might at least agree, that for the four thousand children in emergency accomodation, it is a crisis..

I get you, i came across an interesting initiative last week, within the various county councils..each new tenant receiving keys to their new home are also required to liase with a worker from one of the ngos, focus ireland, simon community etc, on a weekly basis for a minimum of three months, longer if necessary. Within this, there supported, with getting children into schools, changing doctors etc etc, whatever needs they may have in fact, similar to the wrap around service your highlighting, i think..

Why shouldn’t they serve their own needs? Middle class Ireland has contributed enough since 2008 time to give them a break.

I wholeheartedly agree, i was part of an audit team within their service, i have to say one of the top organisations i have come across, not only for the amazing work they do, but also their professionalism throughout the organisation. Completely restored my faith in these organisations..
