    Well.
    If you want a free/cheap house at taxpayers expense then take it where your offered.
    You want to choose your area, get out and work like the rest of us and provide the house in your desired location just like others do.
    Or god forbid a compromise and take the cheap/free house in a ****ty location and then work hard to better yourself so you can rent or buy on a better location.

    Oh this 'free' drivel stuff, we re clearly coming to some conclusive ending of the neoliberial/neoclassical era, and we don't know what to do next, even though these ideologies have brought us to this point, they're now failing us, badly, it's time to move on. You will also find most citizens pay some form of 'taxation', including the unemployed, and if older generations think they don't have skin in this game, you better think again, as most are parents or indeed grandparents.

    It shouldn’t be socially acceptable to expect a life on the social with housing etc being provided free. Dressing it up as some sort of normal life just makes it easier to continue generation after generation of serially unemployed families.

    But burning through tax payers money to provide overpriced short life modular housing is madness compared to bringing back council houses into use, no matter where they are.

    Let’s say we build the 120,000 or so houses people say we need to house the homeless and the council waiting list, what next?

    Do we just build an endless amount of houses for anyone who just rocks up to the council office and asks for one?

    What is the plan of Sinn Fein and the left?


    Do they just want to supply houses to everyone for 30 euro a week?????

    Unless all 120,000 are in Blackrock, and/or other nice areas near mammy, half won't be filled.

    That's what the Anything Everyone parties want.

    Lie lie lie until they get in, and then implement the same policies that they oppose.

    Yes. And have anyone who gets paid a decent amount to be taxed through their nose.

    Alternative housing is needed and will work .. if given a chance and I admire the perserverance of the councils
    No money to do so. Barely money to fix existing houses.

    Other people post about housing policy that you don't like, and they should mind their own business.
    Yup. You'll see it's a trend from her.

    On an island where you are cut off from any help. I'm assuming you do not own that house?
