When was the last time they did
Looking forward to the next episode “how to survive your adult children when they’ve been forced to return to the family home due to lack of housing provisions and infastructure as a result delusory Government policies”
You’ll be a long time waiting for the least shred of empathy from that shower in government… Not even generosity, compassion or understanding… Worse still, they are fixing to send our young people to go fight in a war…
Social contract smashed to smithereens. How ye all carry on is beyond me.
I wonder if I email Micheál Martin asking if he would rent out his spare room to me would he charge me a fair rent. He’s only from down the road so I would still be close to my family
Guillotines are cheaper than gaffs!
/s
Should I adopt some parents or something if I have non ?
None of these articles never have any real solutions.
Rent controls reduce supply.
Public building companies would be a disaster and there’s fuck all public land.
Public housing is an unknown quantity, what does that even mean? Does everybody get given a house? Or is just social housing?
I can’t imagine the amount of money and time they spent on this campaign. Did no one on the committee have an ounce of sense to say, this is tone deaf and insulting.
No, instead they all took a wage, for co-signing this waste of public money.
Honestly looking at the continent with cheap flights. Yeah I’m still with the parents on work day but at least my weekends are in a place with my own kitchen. Just wish I had done this 5 years ago.
Holy shit, just when I thought they couldn’t make it any worse they have to go and rub it in.
Someone voted for these cunts.
EDIT: The more I think about this, the level of cuntiness of it is just off the charts. I’m not even sure an exponential scale can handle this level of sheer shithousery.
The government is just a reflection of the people. Our politicians are simple populists. No decision is made before endless kite-flying, polling and focus groups.
The current housing crisis is result of neo-liberal policies accelerating wealth inequality. Almost all of the policies that led to our current housing crisis were approved by the public.
The number one issue that needs to be addressed in society is control of the media. Brexit should have been a massive wake up call for everyone. Also here is a great research paper that gives a glimpse behind the curtain [De-democratising the Irish planning system](https://researchrepository.ucd.ie/entities/publication/22e16a60-6426-4848-8ab2-f45cba0f4f24) Even the lobby group members were surprised at how much influence they had over government policy once they gained control of the public narrative.
The only real way that we are going to see a massive amount of house building in the country is if they make the practice of house building wildly profitable.
Thats its, its really that simple.
The problem is that its 1.morally wrong and 2. probably involves massive cuts in regulation to encourage every cowboy that can to start building. In a capitalist style economy, unless the private business folk are interested in taking it on, it wont be done on scale.
Of course they don’t understand, they don’t understand anything of the common man.
Remember Shane Ross as then Minister for Transport smugly taking a selfie on an empty Dublin Bus going to “work” at like 11am? Probably from a stones throw away in Dublin 4. Wondering why everyone complains about public transport.
Thats what we’re dealing with. They’ve absolutely no idea how the real world works.
None of them have to commute across the city every day of the week during rush hour on public transport or bare the costs of running a car on an average wage spending a fortune on tolls, taxes, insurance and fuel that keeps going up and up.
They no idea how bad our GPs and Hospitals are because they all have private health insurance and seek treatment privately …and they wonder why all our newly trained are emigrating out of the country.
Same for Schools and Colleges, most of them are privately educated as are their children. They have no idea how bad some public schools and what teachers have to work with and what they have to put with. Again, they wonder why there are teacher shortages and why the newly trained are emigrating.
…and of course, housing / renting and the effects it has on everyone still living at home into their 30s and 40s. Most TDs never had to house share or live at home to save for a mortgage.
How the government thinks making a video like this is a good idea is beyond me. We’re supposed to be a ridiculously rich country, ever making a “How to cope,” shouldn’t be in these thieves vocabulary.
You get what you vote for
What goober signed off on this
Government video sounds montypythonesque
It’s not that they don’t understand you – they’re straight up telling you, they have abandoned you.
(Another reminder, this is what/who the majority of the country voted in.)
Wow. Just watch the video. Weapons grade boring dystopia. Someone who is presumably not a lizard person signed off that. Boggles the mind.
The level of infantilisation is insane. There’s a conflation of over thirties adults living at home and 18 year olds who haven’t gotten to move out yet.
My partner and I are nearly thirty, hoping to get married soon, but have to move back in with the parents. I was telling a woman in the pub this the other night and she was like “oh but sure isn’t it great, my fella just did the leaving cert and he said mammy, I’m glad I can’t move out because then who will wash my jocks? Aren’t you happy to have your mammy cooking for you you lucky thing? Back in our day we couldn’t afford to paint the house until 6 months after we moved in so every generation has their hardships really”.
Like how fucking infantilising is that add “be grateful to mamas and daddy and do a few jobs around the house, it’ll help you develop” gross. I’m a fucking adult.
I hate how it be.
Government need to build apartment buildings in urban centers en masse
