More housing objections by the opposition and Boyd Barrett.

Mate, the price of these apartments is going to be met by wealthy foreign families paying for their darlings to live in luxury.

It won't lower anything for you, because it isn't for you. It won't lower prices elsewhere for you either, because the vulture funds just used up another block of space, and all they want is MAXIMUM price for themselves. You aren't going to benefit from this.

Irish students have stated they don't want it. Experts have said it raises prices for everyone else, everywhere else.

They're selling you (and the rest of us) porkie pies. They've convinced people that "supply" is the problem, that allows them workaround to get their max profit.

You are being used. And you're not going to get a look in, this stuff isn't built by you, for you, or with your life in mind. Whatsoever.

"Richard"?

Listen, I've pointed out statistics and quotes from experts that say you're getting the arse ripped out of you, and yet you are still batting for wealthy foreign families in the slim hopes that it'll trickle down to you.

Not going to happen.

This country WILL be left without an arse in it's trousers BECAUSE we are getting robbed right now.

The shucksters will leggit with their briefcases full of our money, and you and most of the population will be left scratching their heads about how their indoctrinated virtue signalling machines didn't actually amount to anything in the end.

And then you'll emigrate, perhaps.

I'm not your enemy, it's the ones telling you "we're all great buds!" while counting their cash that are robbing you.

And if you don't believe the facts and figures and expert opinions...just wait and see. Wait another year and watch prices increase, and another, and another, and another. You'll see.

For now, I'll say it again, 79% of these developments are for non-irish, and the experts say the only consequence is an increase in prices for everyone. Et voila.

It's like trying to converse with a badger at this point.

79% of these developments are for non-irish, experts, who I have quoted, say that they raise the cost of housing for everyone else.

That's it. And no matter where you hide, that will remain it.

Here, sure why not, one for the road...

79% of these developments are for non-irish people, experts, who I have quoted, say that they raise the cost of housing for everyone else.

Hold on, there's always time for an encore...

Still struggling? Maybe this will help...

Being ignorant of reality doesn't negate reality. For example,

You're talking about conspiracies, well let me counter them with some facts. Like this...

No matter the show you put on, the info is drilling into your brain. Good :)

It is all the result of a coordinated effort to increase housing costs.

Sell off social housing, open it up to the world's population.

Get rid of bedsits.

Increase demand by facilitating the arrival of extra people into the country every year despite a housing crisis every year.

Allow vulture funds to buy swathes of property with insanely good conditions attached, have them tripping over themselves to get in on the bargain of the century.

Guarantee to rent the places back off vulture funds at nice high prices. Locked in profit.

Tell everyone we "need more supply", but the part they whisper at the end is "to sell!"

In come the likes of the student accommodation developments, aimed squarely at wealthy foreign parents, more price pressure.

The heads of government housing agencies jumping ship to private vulture funds, nothing strange there at all.

And more, and more.

This whole situation is one gigantic, unbelievably out-of-control con job.

It's all "funded" by poor eejits paying exorbitant rent and shackling artificially high mortgages around their necks.

Robbery. And look at the pushback! People out protesting about their cats gender pronouns instead, and then you realise just how stupid we all look.

Sometimes you get what you deserve.
