will any government politicians bother to question @cifireland.bsky.social about how they let this happen or @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social about why they didn’t collect the unpaid €140k in dereliction fines 🤷♂️ their silence makes it impossible to believe they even want to fix our housing crisis 🤦♂️
Utter vandalism for Construction Industry Federation to sit on this and leave it rot on the street
Dereliction is a social crime as is destruction of heritage
Shame on them, Dublin City Council & successive governments who have enabled this

Again and again, Trump misunderstands the limits of American power.
And as a result is taking us to a global financial precipice.
