    They're the apartments over Killinarden House. Bog standard Celtic Tiger apartments (I know because paid 300k for one similar in the area 😪) but the outside looks a bit shabby aswell. But yeah, stop having kids until you get your base sorted.

    Just another singular case publicised by the like of the indo to hand wave away all the working people who can't afford a place or are on the homeless list.

    Maybe Simon and Leo can give her the Freedom and Expression gig?

    Neither is correct. Meeting a certain standard shouldn't necessarily mean being 100% standardised. They and their surroundings should be perfectly clean and habitable.

    Immaculate conceptions no doubt.

    You're entitled to feel at least somewhat safe in the accomodation you're offered.

    As if to underline what an absoloute s_hole killinarden is, this article shares the page with an article about the latest fatal stabbing just up the road from the place.

    Frankly, I'd rather be homeless.

    they can if indeed it is the case that what is offered is not to the correct standards acceptable to the norm.

    Ohhh yeahhh, he's working I'd say... or should I say, they're working I'd say!

    that is unviable as then it allows the council to offer any old crap.

    buying or paying market rent only entitles you to live in the house in the case of rent, or ownership upon full repayment if the loan in the case of buying.

    it does not make you more worthy or entitled i am afraid.

    Or if they have more children they can go bigger.

    No inside shots and those bins are in the underground car park. You don’t live there. Don’t see any used needles around either.

    The stabbing was closer to where in Citywest she lives at the moment than to Kilinarden.

    This is the problem, it should be the street for her and care for the children.

    First they came for the socialists...

    You saw nothing of the inside of the apartment because it was undoubtedly pristine. She just expected to be given a house with a nice garden as that's what she feels entitled to.

    Any landlord who's ever tried to let their property to the council on a Long Term Lease (or found themselves with a tenant on HAP or the like) will tell you that the council are far more stringent on ensuring the RTB standards are met than any private tenant would be. In fact, the regulations even impose a higher standard on properties let by Approved housing Bodies than those on the private rental market:

    because it should, that's ultimately it in a nut shell.

    properties should meet a certain, decent standard regardless and that, quite frankly, is the end of it.

    any genuine extras, then the paying for them comes into it.

    but the nonsense of being entitled to a decent standard if you pay for it but must live in a slum if you are need of subsidized housing is supposed to have died with the tenaments demolition in the 60s.

    I presume she was trying to find out which of her new neighbours caused the damage so they would fix it, right?

    I mean, presumably, at some point, everything was fixed and lovely, and then people moved in and accidentally damaged it and now she wants them to fix that damage.

    What does she want exactly? A five bedroom detached mc-mansion in Dublin and taxpayer mugs to pay for it?

    Keep spawning multiple sprogs, with no means to support them, you get everything you want it seems.

    The thing about these stories is what it boils down to is cradle to grave welfare which is helping no one in Ireland and is destroying the lives of children brought in to that world of entitlement without any give.

    None of this benefits a single person in Ireland, not even themselves.

    oh of course, we put children into the care system because people don't like their parents/the parent is on the housing list.

    absolute bull.

  • So. She had 13 years to get off her butt and buy her own gaff. But decided to squirt out 4 kids instead?


    Where is daddy or daddies?


    She has a feckin cheek.

    Yeah it's a bit shabby to be fair and they could have cleaned it up first but nothing a bit of elbow grease on her part couldn't solve.

    I am torn on this because I do believe in social housing and it certainly has its place and they probably should have offered her something better than this but the stink of entitlement off her bugs the hell out of me.

    I actually meant which version of the stories we hear is correct, not which is the correct approach (so to speak).

    But I agree with your point.

    Mother of God, we're is that 🤔 Beirut? Before the bomb?

    I've mixed feelings on this entire subject but do feel reasonable accommodation should be offered especially with children involved. That place, couldn't be described as a home is a cesspit notwithstanding children's safety not even being considered.

    13 years on a waiting list is in fairness extraordinary, 8 year living in Citywest is even more extraordinary, how much has that cost FFS.

    Alot of people are against modular homes but surely with vasts tracts of land available could this not be at a minimum short term cost effective solution.

    Can't wait for that clown of a housing ministers response

    This reminds me of the mother of 4 a few years back that refused a house in wicklow with sea views as it might "make her feel sea sick" - to be fair all she really asked for was a brand new apt in Dun Laoighre. Least all us dopes paying tax could do is give her that...

    buy what gaff?

    do you think the bank would give her a mortgage? really?

    even when they were throwing them around like sweets, i would suggest that was unlikely to happen.

    sickens me that there a so many people like this who pop out child after child without any means to support them fully, and feel like everyone else should sort out her finances for the rest of her life in a forever home,sickens me isn't strong enough terminology being honest. literally, they cant fathom how or why they should be responsible for their own lives.
