I often reflect how amazing it is that Eastern Europeans, Africans and Asians can come to Ireland, build themselves up and become a success while certain elements of Irish society seem to go backwards in the same amount of time.

Some of them come with nothing. Some have been persecuted and tortured.

I want to meet more people like that in the street. Not giz a euro der bud.

Because those certain elements of irish society face irish societies contempt the most, there is no race card for those people to play and no PC brigade to hide behind when they face the prejudices they have to deal with it.

The residents in those "horrific houses" seem to be quite happy with them. Perhaps you should ask them if they want to be redeveloped, and then explain what you actually mean when you say "redeveloped".

He means fcuk them out and send them to live in Leitrim, and sell their 'modern trendy townhouse' to the highest bidder.

No. They don't face more prejudice than refugees. They have small problems compared to refugees or just anyone relocating country with nothing. They are given free education, low cost housing and welfare by the state. It's what you do with it is most important.

Generally every few decades a ton of social housing is pawned off to residents under the pretence it is cheaper for the taxpayer or the right thing to do etc. In reality whoever is in power thinks they wont get elected and pawns off the housing stock to win votes.

It makes it a lot harder to redevelop bad housing developments, when some of them are resident owned eg those horrific houses on Dorset St in front of the mater.

The houses on Dorset street are far from horrific. They're the usual high standard DCC build quality - better than most private developments in that regard.

There's nothing to stop DCC redeveloping the public stock houses there, but tbh, they don't need any redevelopment. They're good houses.

Which ones? Dorset street has zero connection to the front rear or side of the mater.

They're talking about the row on Dorset St, between Eccles St and Synott St.
