3,140 rooms to rent & 8,500 houses to rent -what 'homeless' crisis

markodaly

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/state-urged-to-investigate-surge-in-cost-of-disability-allowance-1.3251511

The Government needs to investigate the substantial increase in the number of people receiving disability allowance with costs soaring from €185 million to €1.35 billion in the last two decades, a report published with the budget has found.

Between 2012 and 2016 there has been an average annual growth in expenditure of €68 million or 5.7 per cent, a rate that would see overall spending reach €1.7 billion by 2020.

The disability rate as well is skyrocketing and again, one of the highest in the EU. It's clear this is there is widespread scamming and abuse of this well-intended scheme.

Well the article above seemed to prove this as the budget has increased by 700pc. Would this not reflected that this area is increasing too quickly

Figures from 2018 good enough for you?

https://www.thejournal.ie/jobless-households-3832381-Feb2018/

Still nearly a year and half ago with unemployment at 6.4%.

Even still though not too bad relative to Europe.

It gives Ireland a rate of jobless households of 17.6%, slightly above the EU average of 17.3%.

I imagine now we have dropped another 1-2% in unemployment we are now below the EU average.

What do you think?

Have you data to back that up? Do you mean spend or people on disability?

Table from 2017



Must have been a drastic jump in 2 years to become one of the highest on spend alone.

We were near the bottom of Social Protection spend 2 years ago.

There is a significant underclass in Ireland which we pander to time and again.

Literally any excuse to blame anyone but these people themselves. With apologism like that its no wonder we have issues

so we have a new kind of medical care that stops illness before it becomes disabling? wonderful

There s a correlation between inexcusable delays in getting medical care and illness worsening into disabiltyu and entering the time zone when illness benefit changes to disability allowance.

Hence the increase.. as someone caught up in and affectd by non available early medical intervention I assure you it is not an easy place to be

Why blame us?

I would just be wondering why they have a new born child if they can afford their existing setup.

I would also be wondering why as a construction worker he is looking for work also as that business is booming at the moment. I struggle to get tradesmen as they have so much work going on.

A construction worker and a tradesman is not necessarily the same thing.

The main reason you are finding it hard to find someone with a specialized trade is because there has been up to an 90% drop in people taking up apprenticeships.

Plenty of contraception options available for free/cheap.


Of course this being ireland, he wants a forever home for free from the media darling screeching liberal extremists and he'll probably get it from the media stunt
No one cares about single white male, but they do care about newborn. The cynic in me would suggest that played a part in his decision to procreate

They should have planned accordingly for children. They could have used contraception first. If they do not have the means of protecting their child, give it up for adoption or abort if necessary.

Construction is a booming industry at the moment. You point out that 90pc of trades emigrated so you would expect many to be desperate to recruit which would further emphasize that jobs are there if people want them.

Berlin’s mayor said the move was indicative of a wider strategy to reacquire housing stock sold to private investors in the 1990s, following rapid rises in rental costs in the city in recent years.

“Berliners should be able to continue to afford living in the city,” said Michael Müller. “That is why it was and continues to be our intention to buy up apartments wherever we can, so that Berlin can regain control of its property market.”

Imagine he came up with that "mental concept" at a Fine Gael Árd Fheis.

Well condoms have a 98-99pc success rate so I suspect they didn’t. I didn’t watch them do the deed so I don’t have proof of this.

Well tbh unless you think our government are doing a great job, I think some of these hard choices could do wonders for our country. Point in case, how about a person takes responsibility for their own well being instead of looking for assistance from someone else.

Ok you said that there’s a 90pc drop in apprenticeships. You would think then that the current workforce would have more than enough work to have a job.

I cant believe the german state agency for homeless is almost called gee bag. Calling a spade a spade there!

But back to Ireland and your comment on socialism and the 670 flats bought - of course we are doing this - and for about a decade. Only its called other things like Circle Housing and the other huge housing agencies that are officially listed as charities. We are paying for it - house by house - -thousands of appartments and houses are being bought by taxpayer via state funding given to 'homeless' charities who are then letting them out at twenty euro a week and guranteeing that for the life of the tenant - and their children - while schmucks like us go out to work and pay 50% of our salaries - two weeks wages out of every four - in taxes to faciltate this kind of abuse.

As for the official 'unemployment' figures despite the almost universal vote to get of the jobbridgescam and turas nua and seetec scam 'free labour' for multinationals programmes and idiot online 'courses' with minimum wage roles gurranteed for 'employers' - these are still grinding people into pulp while massaging and reducing the unemployment figures as they are not classed as unemployed - same as all those encouraged to register as disabled under the depressed /mental health badge - keeping the labour market figures down while ensuring that as disabled they will not be made work. Naturally noone that is too depressed or mentally ill to work should have to but when it is a casually bandied about suggestion in social welfare and support offices as an alternative to getting a job one has to start asking questions.


As for the tens of thousands of houses and flats paid for by the taxpayer and bought by 'homeless' " charities" this is exactly the kind of socialism that makes one wonder why one works and studies hard to get ahead and have a career and try for a nice lifestyle when one can just sit back and coast after bleating 'homeless' using the applied formulae and media pressure and then sit one ones arse having ones nails done and watching daytime tv for the infinitive future knowing that both you and your children will be given handouts courtesy of the taxpayer until and beyond the day you die when yhe state will also pay for your funeral and suit while the hardworking poor pay for you.

We need to incentivise people to report those abusing the system the same as the insurance fraud - and the person reporting can claim 40% or 50% of the money saved for the year - that would stop a lot of it immediately and be far more efficient than the bleedung hearts with their hands tied or disinterested in following up behind government hatches and social welfare desks. The formula for shouting homeless is too well abused and the wrong people are being given the charity and taxpayers money. By all means reward carers and those needing home support and undependent living and the mentally ill and families struggling to cope with teenagers and adult children with autism and those who are disabled - but these categories get little or nothing - and there is no 70k salaried PR agent sending 10 or 20 media releases a day on their behalf - like there is for the so called homeless. And of course who is paying the salaries and agencies for these homeless charities.. yes - you've guessed it - the taxpayer. You couldn't make it up.

Well you're already paying for social housing which is a socialist policy really. I don't agree with social housing being in the city centre, it's unfair on us workers that have to commute, but the Gov should be buying up whatever it can to house people, otherwise we're going to be paying extortionate prices for hotels etc.

I mean surely the houses for free for people who can't be arsed working (we have statistical full employment now, so lets call a spade a spade) should be at the best price area so not in Dublin. Out the country where land is cheap. Give everyone in the Republic a free house if they want it , but its in Donegal, Leitrim etc. No free houses in Dublin/GDA/COrk/Galway city etc. If you want to live there you have to work for it.

I think most of the people in social housing actually do work, so if you're on the housing list in Dublin then they should try to provide in Dublin, but when people like myself, who is single and would love to live in the city centre or at least in Dublin 3 or 4, have to live out in family suburban areas because we're priced out of the areas where people like me want to live, I just don't think it's that fair really. But then life isn't really fair and at least I have a roof over my head

I don't think there are actually that many life time dolers that's the thing, most people in social housing still work. My views on it are that it's currently unfair that we have social housing in D1/2/3 etc while not providing affordable apartments to people like myself in these areas. Most cities in Europe have young professionals living in the city centre, but it's very difficult to do it here.

Most cities in Europe have young professionals living in the city centre, but it's very difficult to do it here.

I’d argue that if the figure of life time dolers is that low (bar a disability or acceptable reason), it would be acceptable to the majority of people to simply cut them off. Why should we continue to fund parasites when there is no reason for them not to be in some sort of employment apart from laziness or apathy? I’ve said it before but we are too soft on wasters in this country and while the usual bleeding hearts would stomp their feet at such a move, they might be surprised at how much appetite and support there is from the hard working taxpayers to see it done.

Jesus Titty Christ I provided the link for Houses to Rent as per the thread title and opening post several times now.

July 2019 & today there are 3,140 house share rooms and over 8,500 houses to rent on daft.ie
Isn't it about time journalists started quoting these figures when reporting 'homeless' figures.

Here is it again.

This is not the most difficult task you'll face today.

Click on it, what number do you get? Is that in and around 8,500?

I'll give you a clue, it isn't.

The thread title and opening post is complete and utter horse shít.

Why is the OP insisting on journalists reporting lies?

Is there a filter on DAFT for free 3 bed semi ?

No, there's no filter, that is done by rounding up as many kids as possible and assembling in a public space. Then shrill screeching, ideally accompanied by hurling from the ditches lefty extreme loons like Joan the moan, AAA/pbp et al.

This isn't very hard TBH.

I remember looking it up at the time the thread started and it wasn't far off. It changes not only from day to day but hour to hour
When you add the number of rooms available to residential properties there's almost enough beds for all homeless.

BTW The thread title includes rooms. Not only houses
