Thats so funny, google providing better housing options to gards and nurses than government.
Can you imagine this global corporate profit driven behemoth thought more of these people than their own elected political representatives.

Ah fantastic, back to the early twentieth century when the likes of Cadburys or the coal mines would provide housing for workers.
It’s not quite the same in this case I suppose but it’s going that way again.
I gonna wait now and see how quickly rooms go up to rent after a garda gets in to one of them.

Thats a really cool idea. Now knock down that stupid port in its stupid location next, and build the next 50,000 of these apartments there.

Government should be ashamed, situation is so bad that Google is helping key workers for accommodation.

Haven’t they been doing this in London for decades?

Why didn’t Google use these for their own employees, that was what it was originally bought for.

Key workers should be able to buy houses. We need to ban buildings to ren.

Media missing the bigger picture again, the “market” rent for a two bed apartment is now apparently €32,000 per annum.

I hope they’re paying tax in the difference between the rent they’re paying and the real market value.

The one thing I would like to add is if they can do more incentives for labourers or construction workers to attract them here. Or at least give them lower tax rates just to get more building happening throughout the country.

Google now basically hiring its own public services staff to accomodate the area housing its workers. Good for the people that will take advantage of it, but it does feel like a landlord providing some nice little outhouses for the serfs who make things go.

This is bad, very bad. Combining this with removal of rent pressure zones this will indenture employees to Google.
If companies can afford this they can pay more taxes.
It’s not perfect but using increased taxes to fund rent would be a better idea than leaving it up to private companies.

Great idea in fairness
Hunger Games for the rental market is how the process is going to end up being
Wonder how this will be abused.
€1,850 for a new 3-bed in a great location is very good.
I know everyone’s instinct will be to assume the worst but this seems like a great idea.
This is a great idea
Hope they are not paying Bik too, but I’m sure they are

Also comes with parking spaces for cars and bicycles.
