Again today 1pm Grand Parade, Cork City Ireland

The bag was deliberate.

Mo náire thú Irish Government Record breaking numbers without a home again, incl. 5,100 children This news comes in week that Census revealed there were over 72,000 empty homes (65,000 of which are empty longer than 2 years) This is down to policy #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland

The carnage among nature we are willing to tolerate as a cost of doing business as normal is beyond belief.

Dead fish don't lie

This is what a war criminal looks like

We all know the cause is utter greed, a culture of short termism & profit at all cost This institutional led outcome was obvious from outset when testing was delayed We are slowly killing ourselves thru' pesticides, chemicals, insecticides but sure "thats the way things are" ☹️

F*ck fast fashion by ffud

We now also know that 65,000 of these homes were left vacant for at least 2 years (remember this is focusing on energy use alone, there are many more empty homes) In midst of housing emergency this is akin to hoarding food in a famine It should never be normalised or tolerated #DerelictIreland

At time of launch of the Vacant Homes Tax (VHT) @judesherry.bsky.social & me wrote about it being designed to fail in op-ed @irishexaminer.bsky.social New @csoireland.bsky.social data is further evidence 72,000 vacant in 2023 yet VHT was only applied to 3000 homes in same period #DerelictIreland

Quelle surprise Money for the boys is the @finegael.bsky.social & @fiannafailparty.bsky.social way With rising construction costs this can only lead to disaster #DerelictIreland

This is what a vacancy epidemic looks like We urgently need a moratorium on commercial construction so resources can focus on converting existing empty offices to homes as well as building new homes & renovating vacant/derelict homes #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland

Work in progress 🎨 #DerelictIreland #SpéirGorm

Listened to this earlier, I think Frank made a really compelling argument for compulsary rental orders. As he said and i'm paraphrasing 'are we as a culture ok with normalising having over 5000 children homeless when there are 65k homes empty over 2 yrs.' #ChildrensRights #Speirgorm

I heard this, and about the fictional person down the country who bought a house in Dublin for when their (now school going) kids want to go to college there… Frank was brilliant, he was practical and grounded, even while dealing with that scenario!!! #DerelictIreland

I can never accept that over 16,000, incl. 5014 children, are struggling without a home when there are enough homes for everyone lying empty across country Policies such as compulsory sales & rental would be transformative if the government cared & acted A big IF Chapelizod, Dublin #DerelictIreland

Tune in NOW to hear Frank fight the case for Compuslory Rental Orders as according to ESB data theres 65k homes empty for over 2 years #VacantIreland the gateway to #DerelictIreland

I'll be chatting DriveTime @rteradio1.bsky.social 4.45ish about latest CSO housing vacancy data based on electricity Great nos are coming down but too slow when over 5,000 children are being traumatised We need compulsory rental +/or squatting 20 empty homes, Macroom #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland

Punch down against vulnerable but ignore theres nowhere for them to go with homes boarded up everywhere & extortionate rents Of course this is all because of his @fiannafailparty.bsky.social @finegael.bsky.social policies F*ck off & pick on hoarders, speculators & landlords instead #DerelictIreland

3 stunning houses wasted While so many families struggle without a home Its time for "use it or lose it" South Tce, Cork City #DerelictIreland

Welcome to Cork City ffud for #DerelictIreland

We really are in peak gaslighting season Cork city council endorse housing protest yet refuse to fully enforce law in place since 1990 resulting in epidemic of vacancy & dereliction in city centre costing lives Can't wait to see how they protest against themselves #DerelictIreland

Its as simple as this If every local authority in Ireland did their job & enforced the derelict sites register & ensured all their council owned houses were back in use as homes within 3 months we wouldn't have 5,014 children in homeless shelters A heavy 'weight of history' #DerelictIreland

If you're wondering why theres housing crisis in Ireland Have a look at empty homes everywhere Not all are privately owned E.g. Cork city council own this & boarded it up 4 yrs ago Its located in heart of historic Shandon Of course they'll tell you they care & are doing all they can #DerelictIreland

I live here now ❤️

The disgrace that is #DerelictIreland.

Again today 1pm ❤️ Grand Parade, Cork City Ireland

I mean yeah...we knew Canada's values included genocide, that's how Canada was made

One of the more infuriating bits of #derelictireland that I pass on the regular. It has been empty and falling into ruin for DECADES.

Hear hear. And it's not just Dublin, or Cork either.

If the #Dereliction tax was high enough and enforced every year, they’d have sorted this out years ago. Now, CPO it for sure, sell it cheaper than the siblings would like and make sure the buyer has the price of doing it up. #DerelictIreland is a policy, not a byproduct.

230 yr old historically important building An Stad 30 yrs derelict because brother & sister fighting over ownership 15 yrs ago added to Derelict Registry 10 yrs ago it collapsed inside & removed from Derelict Registry 1 yr ago it was only Compulsory Purchased by DCC This is #DerelictIreland

There's already nearly 300k homes not being used as homes in Ireland This is #VacantIreland The gateway to #DerelictIreland #EveryoneShouldHaveAHome

Not 10%. Not even 5%.

We’ve no chance of ever owning a home with figures like this. We’ve no chance of having a Govt do anything different with a Dáil full of landlords. They’ve shown us what they think of us with their policy on #DerelictIreland. Property for me but not for thee, is the attitude.

When the likes of Google, Nvidia etc., move in, THIS is what happens. USA wealth, is crushing EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.

The message is clear, f*ck off out of Dublin if you're not filty rich 3,300 new homes in Dublin with only 155 bought by households are seriously damning stats Well done @finegael.bsky.social @fiannafailparty.bsky.social & your cronies for f*cking things up so badly for normal people #DerelictIreland

Well done to whoever created this 🇵🇸 in solidarity with Palestine 👏 Lwr Glanmire Rd, Cork City, Ireland 🎵 Martin Leahy

Ah that poor lad, and his family. Tis past time for #JusticeForHarvey

Looking back our choice was simple When @judesherry.bsky.social & I returned after decades away we couldn't focus on business as usual When so many were struggling without a home yet empty homes everywhere Yes its challenging but we are privileged to have a roof over our heads in #DerelictIreland
