According to the party, Cork, Dublin and Galway city councils have no capacity, with the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive currently sending homeless people to Kildare and Meath, while Limerick City and County Council has no capacity, and Waterford City and County Council has very limited capacity.
“These are people who work, as Leo Varadkar might put it, they are people who get up early in the morning and they are in a situation that no other generation of Irish people in their position are in, that they have to go and seek accommodation,” Mr Carthy said. He rejected the suggestion that extending the ban would store up a bigger problem for the future, with more evictions eventually materialising which would overload the emergency accommodation system even more.
“For those families, they are in an emergency, and [the] Government needs to act accordingly,” Mr Carthy said. He said that Sinn Féin would support a policy that allowed returning emigrants who faced homelessness to evict someone from their property.
Regardless of what party in gov. In order to construct 40k-50k houses a year, the industry will have to find additional 20k-40k workers. On top u have house upgrading/insulating & national development construction plans. So without additional workers nothing extra getting built.
spin_leo Govt spokesmen keep reeling off these schemes they set been the Tenant in Situ, where they will offer to buy the house if the tenant is on HAP and Landlord is selling up.Since July 22 the 4 Dublin Councils have bought only 13 houses .400 were offered.
Micheál Tánaiste has the look and behaviour of someone who has washed his hands of the housing crisis. Since he became Tánaiste & Minister for Foreign Affairs, I believe that he is well aware that it's unsolvable & he's not that bothered. Apart from the damage to FF electorally.
