    And hotels are being used to house migrants. The problems just continue to compound. We need purpose built migrant accommodation, purpose built student accommodation and purpose built affordable co-living. Most of the co-living options are completely unaffordable for anyone to rent and live any sort of lifestyle.

    Well in fairness all the actual hotels are being used to house asylum seekers. Maybe we could use circus tents to house Irish people? But then where would the clowns go? Oh wait they’re already in the Dail…

    I don’t get the story here? Most of it is for renting up to a year, some is for a bit less.

  4. Our government doesn’t give a shit about you. It’s clear as day. All the breaks are given to big property owners and landlords.

    As far as they are concerned if you are struggling to put a roof over your head you can go fuck youself.

  5. Who would have ever guessed this would happen? and when the tourist trade dies down, it’ll be used as a homeless and refugee shelter

  6. So this is company who opened Co living facilities and are now using it in breach of planning. The planning authorities are now looking into it.

    Not sure how this is “de gubments” fault. Do people expect the minister for housing to personally tour every accomodation in the city to check it’s being used correctly?

    Or maybe that’s you know, the relevant authorities job

  7. Genuinely what is this going to be like in 10 years? It’s getting worse all the time, there will be thousands of families and kids homeless

    I mean, on forums such as Reddit and Facebook we aren’t even allowed to discuss solutions to the issue. Look at Coolock, they didn’t even destroy anything or seriously hurt anyone, and still millionaires immediately organized an online smear campaign.
