If McVerry had his wish of no evictions, there would be a mass exodus of Landlords

You can't ban evictions if landlords have their asset basically seized from them.

What tripe is this chap talking about?

Not sure landlords are responsible for the homeless in this country

McVerry loves the limelight , id have more respect for the likes of Brother Kevin of the capuchin centre , he just looks after people rather than pushing an ideological agenda

McVerry is just another poverty industry hustler

I know a guy who works in the Capuchin centre, he is a really decent hard working fella, really cares about people

Lesalare

This fella is great. Fair ****s for him to saying what he's saying and he's right. People in Ireland are full of it. They are friendly to tourists but not really to each other. At least he's trying to discuss the homeless and get people thinking about them.

Nothing against the daughter but something off about the funeral director

mad for publicity - not sure why

AMKC

It was good untill the last guest. I do not like him. A limelight seeker.

Yes the council built huge amounts of housing in 70s and 80 etc but sure they just lead to huge social problems such as Ballymun, Finglas etc.

Today's approach is much better in that in every new housing estate built a small portion is set aside for social housing and much better social mix.

Your post says more about you than about him. He's 100% genuine, even if you disagree with his Christian agenda.

4 great guests yet again, not selling anything, just lighting up their lives for us all to see.

Sorry?

I am Irish and I'm sick of people here mainly being full of ****e. All talk and no action.

I'm currently doing a go fund me to help the homeless. It's like dragging blood out of a stone with a lot of people here. They all just "Like it"

Would have fitted right in to parish pump politics.

"Who do you love? .... I'm very surprised to hear you say that...."

Look I know it's been said but he's a great interviewer.

I don't know how you could live and say there is no love in your life, it doesn't have to be sexual but I suspect we all here have family and friends we love, and the lucky ones have intimate love.

Brock Turnpike

Am I imagining things or did Tommy not have a funeral director/embalmer on as a guest one of the previous seasons?

It’s very annoying when others don’t pay for your charity

dirkmeister

F*ck him saying all the homeless charities


My sister in law and her family were ran out of their home due to the scumbags next door.


That was a house owned by a certain homeless charity.

Excuse me?

My 'charity' effort of being backed by the Dublin Simon Community and the DePaul.

What are you doing?

wetlandsboy

‘All the homeless organisations are doing a great job.’ Well, Mr McVerry, by definition are are not if they are all replicating each other and clearly not having any impact on the ‘homeless’ population.

I have a friend who lives in West Dublin. The Peter McVerry trust bought a house in their estate and moved in a family. The house is better than the house that my friend lives in, they pay f**k all for it in rent, and they are causing trouble every day while my friend is at work (and they are at home not working).

This is seen as social justice in modern Ireland.

mr.anonymous

Three interviews with people with purpose.

Enjoyed it as usual, will miss this after it finishes next week.
