Further delay are just incentivising further hoarding which is extremely damaging to Irish society

We all deserve better

Apartheid Israel has murdered at least 14 people in Gaza today, 5 of them children. It is bombing Gaza right now. At least 425 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in the so-called ceasefire. War crimes committed with total impunity including from our government. #GazaGenocide

Early data shows that the number of unsheltered homeless people in California dropped 9% in 2025.

We haven’t seen a drop like this in a decade and a half, reflecting sustained progress and California’s continued outperformance of national trends.

Aside from the fact that what Harris is saying is a flat-out lie, everyone has the right to a home.
EVERYONE.
What a horrible man Simon Harris is
He really is the pits targeting the vulnerable through his lies & gaslighting
A man whose party policies have enabled homeless crisis, vacancy & dereliction epidemic & housing crisis
He really has no shame
