      Again…

      But nothing changes, nothing will change. It’s what we deserve for attaching no political price to failure.

      We need to have a serious and open fact based conversation around all of the causes that are driving these massive increases in numbers.

      As per [Dublin Region Homeless Executive – August 2025 Report](https://www.homelessdublin.ie/content/files/Homeless-update-66-August-2025.pdf?v=1758639394) breakdown of new homeless applications are:

      – 42% Irish
      – 15% EU
      – 42% non-EU
      – 1% UK

      Of which 33% were families and 67% single adults.

      Some great insights published in these monthly reports, for example:

      >In Dublin at the end of August 2025, there were 1,693 families in emergency accommodation.
      This is an increase of 45 on the July 2025 number, and an increase of 226 when compared
      with August 2024. There has been a 15% increase in the number of families in emergency
      accommodation in the Dublin Region in the past 12 mo

      Immigration is a huge factor in this. Not because of the hardworking immigrants who come here and contribute but those that arrive and almost immediately apply for welfare. Almost half of the total are not citizens.

      Stopping welfare that they’re not legally entitled to and issuing deportation orders would massively reduce pressure on the system.

      When the numbers continue to increase, yet the problem is never fixed you sort of just become desensitised to these kinds of things. It’s a horrible frame of mind, but I just don’t know what else to do with the information.

      I never vote for FF/FG, but they still manage to cling on like a hemorrhoid. Which leads me to believe that there are enough people in this country who are happy with the nonsense that has been going on.

      Protests seem to do fuck all unless it’s about water meters, voting hasn’t worked. What are people supposed to do to help reduce these numbers, because the current government seem completely unbothered fixing issues that they helped create.

      Jesus I remember being astonished when it surpassed 10,000.

      This is necessary collateral damage according to home owning FFG voters. Anything as long as house prices increase.

      So before this degenerates into the usual rants…

      * Ireland is a long way from being worst in the world with fewer homeless than the UK or Germany and many more kept of the streets.
      * There is an exceptionally stupid idea that homelessness should not exist in rich countries or cities when it’s the reverse. Homeless/poorer people leave poorer countries and cities to go to richer countries with better economic opportunities and language. When you understand that you understand the graph and the stupid comparison with Finland who have no excuses.

      * It’s worth noting 50% of homeless in London were Irish. That figure is now <1%. We used to export our homeless.
      * We are pouring money into homeless services but new demand keeps rising.

      The reality is that homelessness will continue to grow with population & economic growth. The government needs to come clean on this and not partake in the lies that there are easy solutions here or that these figures will reduce until we stop growing at this pace.
