Dublin mother shares footage of offered council house

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.

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

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.

Probably not but she certainly hasn't put herself in the best position to find out.

*In typical boards style* So you are saying you want her kids living on the street? She can't look after them so what are we to do? It's pure nonsense to think we can keep paying for forever homes.

She is going for the 6 bed. 2 more kids and she is in.

So, without digging any deeper into what is no doubt a rage-inducing rant on Facebook, what I gather from a short video is that she's annoyed that she's been offered a place where externally it's a bit shabby, where she doesn't have a nice view and the underground car park is a bit messy from rubbish? Two of those three are easily fixed with a few phone calls and pestering people. The other one is very much a beggars =/= choosers thing.

Is she aware of the conditions that other people live in? If the apartment itself is in good nick, there are plenty of private tenants who'd be more than happy to take that if it's at the right price. Hell, there'd be plenty of people happy to buy a penthouse apartment and work on sorting the other issues if it meant they had a home.

Some amount of entitlement in that video.

Ah well, most of us have to pay for our “forever homes” for more than 20 years. You’ve at least another 7 to go there Aoife, so another 7 years in private rented a accommodation paid for by Johnny tax payer. She gets 0 sympathy from me. If you want better, do better.

It's not where you live, it's how you live.

Sorry but no, why should you be housed in accommodation that either matches or exceeds that which people have to work and pay for? What’s the point of working in that case, just pop out a few kids and put your hands out for free everything. If you want to contribute nothing to the economy but feel “entitled” to take take take, you can live with the rats for all I care.

It’s not a free house though? It’s unsuitable and unsafe accommodation, unfit for human habitation. It’s the council’s responsibility to ensure that any accommodation they provide is fit for human habitation and is suitable for the families they expect to live in them. It’s not their tenants responsibility to carry out any repairs or maintenance that needs to be carried out to bring any accommodation up to standards.

It wasn’t just because the accommodation was in a council area either. It was because the accommodation is unsuitable and unsafe for human habitation.

Why is she complaining? She is not paying for it is she ? What does she expect? A three bedroom house in Dublin 4 all paid for ye ? 13 years waiting doesn't entitle you to pick and choose your own place.

I wish someone would give me a free gaff all paid for but I got a mortgage to deal with for a few years to come. Beggars cannot be choosers and that's the way it is. Be worse if she was stuck in a homeless shelter with her kids.

this is it, the place needs an inspection to see if was built properly at all https://www.google.com/maps/@53.2770939,-6.3795826,3a,60y,207.6h,111.62t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sCWOcJp1u2sBEW0dhlNSQHQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

what family would want to live next to a pub?

I’m not sure whether her legs are open or closed has any bearing on the point she is making that the council accommodation she is being offered is unsuitable for human habitation. It’s not so much gimme gimme either as the point being that the accommodation being offered by the council is simply unacceptable by any standards in the condition it’s in.

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde ...

to have one baby may be an accident, to have two may be put down to carelessness ...

I haven't a clue how he would phrase it for 3 and 4. 🙄

I could say fook her, but ...

BTW how come some stuff was brought across to new site but ignored list was not.

Yet another migration fookup I guess.
