    What I can't understand is who is in all these social houses?

    I thought social houses were for people without jobs. But then I thought we had record low unemployment.
    Also 1 million medical cards? WTF.

    Everyone clamouring for Mary Lou to be involved in the debate over the last week. Have to say she's been extremely disappointing here.

    I've no love for FF but MM is totally right about extending the confidence and supply whilst the no deal brexit was on the cards. But no, she's there talking about the kid eating on the street etc, piss poor argument.

    1. Interest rates are the highest in Europe despite the banks offering them being owned, at least in part, by the state

    Because houses are basically non repossessable so they have no security forcing them to borrow at much higher rates.



    Varadkar is trying to use preprepared statements all the way. He's using the method he used to get the ~580 or whatever points in his Leaving to get Medicine by remembering soundbites, cliches and algorithms isn't he? :pac:

    I deplore socialism but RBB has made three very reasonable points.
    1. Interest rates are the highest in Europe despite the banks offering them being owned, at least in part, by the state
    2. The state made woeful decisions to sell off public assets at poor prices
    3. European models of renting state owned housing regardless of status, the only thing that changes is the means tested rent.

    The state providing subsidy for housing is not a bad thing, but it needs to be tightly controlled so as not to disincentivise work. Delicate balance.
    1. I would think a large part of that is the fact that people cant be evicted for years and sit paying feck all?
    2. True ridiculously cheaply to vulture funds as well.
    3. Tennants are not paying state owned rents and they are a pittance (more than half are behind in rent, 20% more than 6 months behind).

    People deciding to have kids without a house over their head should have a touch of responsibility too.

    If any of them even suggest people were accountable for their actions they would have my vote

    In sound bites yes but dig into the policies a bit deeper and that will change quickly.
