      And it’s only going to keep rising if nothing is done about it.

      Obviously not the biggest issue here but I really think the Department of Housing should get more shit for always dumping these figures on a Friday afternoon.

      It’s clearly intended so that it misses the weekday news cycle.

      And how many of these are actually really homeless and how many of these are choosing a long game on the welfare system. Fuck sake the rest of us struggle like shit to pay for rooms or houses and sacrifice holidays and luxuries for the privilege.

      We need another annual Raise the Roof demonstration to *highlight* the issue. Government ministers having to step over homeless people on their way to work for the last 10 years actually haven’t seen the problem. Completely blind.

      So another protest march, preferably on a Saturday when the parliament is closed, is needed badly. What’s that saying? If at first you don’t succeed, keep doing the same thing over and over again. Something like that.

      It’s awful but people should also maybe try and be a bit more responsible. Like I saw woman living in a hotel with 3 kids and another one on the way being interviewed. There is a culture here of getting knocked up and going on the housing list, I suppose it it works its not a bad idea. My brother rented his flat out to a girl via hap recently and she only pays 70 euros a month and he gets 1700 from hap. I kid you not. 70 for a 2 bedroom flat. The system isn’t really fair.

      Let people work from home and stop building offices

      Get rid of the dipshit height limit and build non-luxury apartments so we can stop the urban sprawl

      And the unpopular one, far too many immigrants coming here and buying up property. If you think this isn’t a problem it just is, I work in property, I see the demographics of who owns houses in large developments. In some of them it really is 80%+ Indian and Middle Eastern immigrants

      Jaysis. I remember when they were really worried about breaking the 10k barrier.

      FFG don’t give a flying FUUUUUUCK. This country might aswell be called Ireland Corp ™️ owned by American corporations, run by FFG. 

      BUILD SOME GODDAMN FUCKING HIGH RISE APARTMENTS. Ban dereliction and BUILD THEM This place is a joke.

      Anyone else remember 10 years ago or so when this same headline had 10000 people as the number? So glad the government took action to tackle the crisis then /s

      Most people in Ireland couldn’t give two rats about this. I’d love to see what percentage of the population would actually be willing to donate 100 euro extra out of the annual salary in order to build houses for these so called homeless people.

      Too many people are making too much money for anything to change. It’s a system of design.

      An effective gerontocracy of an electorate.

      The old eating the young.

    19. MushuFromSpace on

      Sterling effort but the government shouldn’t be celebrating til it hits 20K.

    20. Available_Heart_6694 on

      Half of these people are foreign nationls – Are we expected to house the world ?

    21. QualityDifficult4620 on

      So sad for those affected, so many lives on hold and often warehoused in emergency accommodation, and the tragedy of successive governments not taking drastic action to stem the figure over the last decade.

    22. SelectionNum on

      And just over 50% of them are non-Irish. 54% in Dublin.

      It benefits nobody – not people already in Ireland paying taxes and struggling with the housing crisis, and not the immigrants themselves – letting people into the country only to have them live a horrible life of homelessness.

      We need to reduce immigration until we get a hold on the housing crisis, for the sake of both people here and people who want to come here. Our main political parties need to admit, and act on this, sooner rather than later.

    23. leavemealonethanks on

      I just dont understand how we are accepting this, unlike water charges. We went mad and they stopped.

      I wish the far right could turn away from migrants and focus on this

    24. Ordinary_Ad_5891 on

      Genuinely wonder how many of them are Irish and how many came here over the past few years

    26. kupoadude on

      Not to mention how many people are living with parents/family and would be homeless otherwise as they can’t afford to rent….

    27. Prior_Vacation_2359 on

      I have first hand experience of this. I help in a soup kitchen twice a week. I myself am also homeless but I have student accommodation for the week paid for by work as part of my apprenticeship thank God. After alcohol addiction issues and a separation from my partner and kids, as a single man I would never get anywhere on a list and nowhere to rent and not entitled to be on a list anyway because name on mortgage. So I see my kids the weekends for a few hours bring then away and then I try find a friends house to crash in or my mother’s if I’m very very very very stuck. The one bnb in town that used to take emergency places that I had arranged a room only for 125 a week if I helped tidy the place just sold to an American investor to be turned into an IPA center. So when I finish collage in 4 weeks I’m back in the car. Could never affford 2g a month that would be all my wages with not petrol anything. Iv decided early next year to move to Spain company has a factory over there and apartments are 450 a month for a 3 bed with a balcony in the mountains. At least I’ll be warm. Sorry kids. but that’s what is secretly happening to family’s all over the country. Failed government one after the other since the early 2000s
