Saps.

That's making the false assumption people who care about equality and fairness take a vow of poverty. It's a fairytale created to scare little boys into voting for the corporations friends.

Even.if state sold it for the 470K,then use that money to build 3 social houses and take people off housing register/direct provision?

its not so much that, its pontificating to people many income rungs lower than themselves that they should be taxed into poverty while at the same time reaping the rewards of not paying the tax levels they pontificate for themselves.

atleast those politicians who live on the median salary (or claim to) are making a more genuine effort at it. If you want to preach about more taxes , step 1 is to donate every cent you earn over your own intended thresholds so you can experience your own hardship.

Funny really - when it's Apple that's doing the tax avoidance every half wit in the country jumps up and down like a flea with rabies, but when it's El Gnomo Magico doing it, it's the biggest non-event since Garth Brooks pulled out of his Croke Park concerts.

But hey! we're Irish and consistency is a British concept with which we have no truck.

He rack-rented a house he bought as an investment to poor students, evicted them when he wanted to cash in on his investment and make money tax-free (paying less tax than a vulture fund), without a thought for them being made homeless in the middle of the academic year, and you, of all posters, have no problem with that?

Words can't express the hypocrisy you are displaying.

Man preaches about housing and also funding public services with appropriate taxes while appearing to do his utmost to avoid paying such taxes. Man also said he wouldn't run a second time for president. And keeps lecturing us about the need to do the right thing.

That’s a lot of false assumptions in a short post.

It was a 6 bedroom house so €2200 doesn’t seem like “rack rent”, €370/month sounds very reasonable for a room in a nice area in Galway actually.

Where did the idea that students are poor come from? Don’t see any evidence of that.

And they weren’t evicted, they were given the appropriate notice that the landlord intended to sell.

No idea why you would expect him to pay tax in that situation if no one else in the same situation does?

I'd be more interested to know what he did with his share of the loot from the dwarven expedition to the lonely mountain...

A four-bedroomed house, with two bedrooms squeezed into attic space.

The decor is early-1970s, you wouldn't get away with renting that to professionals.

https://www.daft.ie/galway/houses-for-rent/

114 properties to rent in Galway.

https://www.daft.ie/galway/houses-for-rent/?s%5Bmnp%5D=2200&s%5Bignored_agents%5D%5B0%5D=1551

Only 24 of them over €2,200. From a quick glance, nearly every single one of them in better condition and location than Michael D's. So yes to rack-renting.

Tenants were evicted in December according to the article - the middle of the academic year. Houses for rent to students go on the market in September every year, nearly impossible to find one in December, so yes, he made them homeless. Proper notice to evict still means that they were evicted.

Fair play to the man for making money, but he can't call out vulture funds or multinationals for doing what he is doing. Anyone who defends him must also defend vulture funds doing the same.

LOL you must have bad eyesight.

Big house, plenty of space and decent furniture if not dated, no way in any form is it rack renting.

What's your thoughts on him selling the house for a profit?

And he claims to be a socialist?? The Champagne Socialist title he has worked so hard to earn fits him so well.

How can a proper notice of termination be an eviction
I thought eviction involved a RTB / legal process or the sheriff after a breach in the tenancy agreement like non-payment of rent or anti-social behaviour?
I would appreciate it if someone would explain this.
