Nothing sums up what’s wrong with our property system more than landscapes pockmarked with decay across #DerelictIreland. What many see as failure, Trinity’s Cian O’Callaghan shows can function as strategy.
In Displace: The Battle For Dublin, Trinity’s Cian O’Callaghan unpacks urban vacancy not as passive emptiness but as a strategic and contested component of property markets. A material force that shapes who gets space, who gets priced out, and how cities are remade in crisis and boom alike.

Maybe they could start by not posting on a racist website. If you look at their account stats on X: their posts normally get around 20K view. Their post about Edwin Edogbo got _7 milllion_ views. Organizations still there are opening their employees to racist abuse for publicity.

Only 1.5% to 3.7% of the Vacant Homes are actually taxed
This is because the Vacant Home Tax introduced in 2023 was designed to fail
This is #VacantIreland the gateway to #DerelictIreland

When it comes to housing supply there is a big f*cking elephant in the room
Last year CSO found 65,000 homes empty for 2 yrs, using ESB data, yet for same period less than 3,000 paid the vacant homes tax
So thats around 62,000 houses waiting for someone to call them home

are you a music-first listener or a lyrics-first listener? I’m a music-first listener so I always judge a song based on whether I like how it sounds and most of the time idgaf about the lyrics

I've gotten a bit pudgy (to be kind to myself) and think I need to take my diet more seriously. It's time! 🧍♀️

I often get a depressed feel with the end of films where the humour disappears or the suspense has dwindled and now it's kind of disappointing

Why do they force these people on us. It's like they keep us fighting over tbh stupid things like 'no divorce'. (Would ya ever cop on). Things that are already settled. Taking up the space to talk about more progress. Like people having their needs met in society #speirgorm #headwreckers
Maria Steen also has an opinion piece in today's Sunday Times. 2 major outlets in the national media in 1 day, and she's complaining about a lack of conservative voices 🙄
Maria Steen was on RTÉ Radio 1, the country’s most listened to radio station, this morning lamenting the lack of conservative voices in our national media.
She then read from an article by Brenda Power, published in the most widely read national newspaper.
Make it make sense!

“Mass deportation, but humanely”
Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

even in the case of sexual abuse by strangers, making child sexual abuse a capital offense creates a strong incentive for abusers to murder their victims
As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

Watch this and then watch The Man Who Knew Too much, also on Youtube, about Colin Wallace, who was very high up in UK army (psyops) and was framed for manslaughter when he tried to get people to do something about the abuse at Kincora.
His conviction has since been quashed.

Absolutely this - a must watch is The Lost Boys Of Belfast. The British state from the very top sustained a child sex abuse ring in Northern Ireland to access informants and protect paramilitary groups close to the state.
