FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3 - Threadbanned User List in OP

The truth makes you laugh?

My father is from the hometown of Eoin O'Duffy and his dad said a vote for FG is a vote for the Blue Shirts and O'Duffy.

It's obvious you don't know the extent of powers afforded to the NI Assembly.

Housing is in the remit of the Executive. Westminster has very little or no say in what housing policy is, in Northern Ireland. The fact you want to blame Westminister for the failings of SF is indicative of a refusal to take any responsibility for their bad record on housing in NI.

Some things in the new plan:

The government are going to tax profits by landowners where land is rezoned which is results in an overnight windfall for the landowner. The government is going to take this money and build houses with it.

They are going to arm the new LDA with funds and build public housing on public lands

Part 5 housing going from 10% to 20%

Examine the need for constitutional change in relation to property rights.

Looking at the planning system to see how one can alleviate bottlenecks.

Lol, you fell right for it.

Dr Harold News is the new Roman Shorthall tweet of the day. There is barely a day that goes by you don't copy and paste one of his tweets here, in order to appear funny, clever, or both.

I asked you 2 days ago if you were ever interested in any debate about policy... and here you are spamming threads from some Cork Left-Wing trade unionist for $hits and giggles. That shows us all what you are interested in, and there ain't any truth or honesty in it.

I was in the car earlier, the news came on. "Eruption in the Dáil"

They played a clip and the same oul shite not answering anything and just deflecting.

I was hoping to hear a "**** you deputy stag" moment.

Someone to just stand up and shout **** you leo, we're not in the **** north.

I was disappointed.

I smile when I see posters describing FFG politicians as centrist or left/right leaning. They are none of the above. FFG TDs will adopt any flavour that gets them votes and keeps them on the gravy train. The arrogance of 100 years of power has led to a culture where becoming a TD is a license to feather your nest and grow an empire. The likes of Dara Murphy, Bailey, Farrell, Mulherins don't care whether they are seen as left or right as long as they cling onto their precious seat with access to the trough.

I even look at how much socialist Labour have changed. Eamon Gilmore led Labour to their largest electoral victory ever in 2011 (37 seats!) and then proceeded to milk his time as tanaiste for all it was worth while his party lost it's identity. I believe he is still a 'special envoy' for something-or-other in the EU still (i.e. golden circle). I look at how Alan Kelly celebrated keeping his seat after his disastrous stint trying to help FG and Trickle Hogan privatise Irish Water. Then I look at our own Michael D Higgins (Galway West) - for all his socialist rhetoric when I was in UCG, he is a very rich man now living in a palace in Dublin 😉

Naw lads, don't make me laugh - most of them are pigs in the trough. Don't be fooled by the labels.

Ill address each 'point' separately

a) From what I understand building

b) The State pays a developer to build public housing, do have an alternative model? Do you think the state should create a developer company?

c) Separate. All new estates over a certain threshold of new builds (I think its something like 12) need to allocated 10% of its new builds to social housing given over to the Local Authority. Now that doubles from 10% to 20%. E.g. I a developer builds a new estate with 200 houses on it, 40 of those new builds have to be sold to the Local Authority.

d) There is nothing forcing retires to downsize but they are looking at ways to free up family homes where only one person is living in it.

e) I just posted 5 points and you dismiss them all with an incoherent ramble of very very basic questions.

f) Central government doesn't lease, local authorities do.

g) 4,000 affordable homes to purchase each year, 2,000 cost rental homes per year, 10,000 social homes to be built every year, 1,200 "housing first" tenancies
