79% of homes sold in Dublin this year were bought by landlords, 75% by large landlords. About 1 in 5 TDs are landlords.
This is disgusting dog whistling. The problem has never been people seeking asylum. The problem is people seeking to endlessly profit from folks just looking for a home.

🗣️ "The one thing that there is a problem with is housing right across the state, and the more that come to seek asylum, the more pressure it puts on that system.” - Fianna Fáil Minister of State Timmy Dooley

This is an emergency that requires a response equivalent to the measures adopted to address the pandemic. We need to keep protesting and encouraging this government to do better, while working to ensure they're ousted at the next general election. #Spéirgorm
The number of people in emergency accommodation increased last month to 16,614.
According to the latest figures from the Department of Housing, 11,376 adults and 5,238 children were in emergency accommodation in September.

There's squamishness naming who is doing this:
It's LRC Group in London via subsiduary funds in Cyprus. They have 2000+ homes here and evicted 100s of people. Their gombeens in Dublin are called "Home Club Limited" run by Michelle Savage (ex NAMA wheeler and dealer).

If Jim Gavin gets 12.5% or more, Fianna Fáil gets €250,000 in expenses refunded. Bear that in mind if you're voting for Jim Gavin as a joke.

Hind Rajab should have won the Nobel Peace Prize.
A 5 year old trapped in a car and shot 355 times by Israel while they murdered the Paramedics who tried to help her.
This sacrifice should have ended Israel and the war.

Jonathan Ashworth: "I've wanted to see a ceasefire for 2 years"
The collective position of the Labour shadow cabinet (which you were part of) for months after October 7th was to reject a ceasefire & Labour instructed its MPs not to vote for a ceasefire in Nov 2023.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?
I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Rules are for Little People.
Fianna Fáil has said it was an "oversight" that it used a drone to shoot footage of a park run by presidential candidate Jim Gavin in an area where drones are not allowed to be flown without being given the all clear for safety

Here's a plot of fertiliser imports into #Ireland over recent years.
By far the greatest tonnage is for N-compounds, with a marked up tick in 2023-'24.
Intensive ruminant production sucks nitrogen & our rivers/lakes show it, but let's hold onto the #NitratesDerogation & sacred cows.
