"Unfortunately, after all the optimism, the new housing plan fails miserably to instil confidence this (dereliction) epidemic will be eradicated" @judesherry.bsky.social & my critique of government plans to end #DerelictIreland in @irishexaminer.bsky.social So where is required detail & timeframes?

Here's @frankoconnor.bsky.social & my review of how the new Housing Plan's deals with #DerelictIreland & #VacantIreland #Speirgorm 'Minister's 'war' on vacancy and dereliction is missing timeframe and crucial policy measures' www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

A great (& sad) example of why we urgently compulsory sales & rental of long-term vacant & derelict homes in Ireland What was a lovely terrace of 6 homes up to 12 years ago became a speculative asset left rot while children go without a home Passage West, Cork #DerelictIreland

This is what the iconic #DerelictIreland home looks like when it sold in 2002 and what it looks like inside #Speirgorm

While other cities are removing concrete to create green parks Cork is removing green parks to create another concrete plaza Would love to know what the carbon footprint of all this concrete is? Not to mention the removal of trees #PureCork #speirgorm #DerelictIreland #Greenwashing

#DerelictIreland dejected neglected Ireland greedy gouging Ireland Grasping grabbing Ireland

This is what the iconic #DerelictIreland home looks like when it sold in 2002 and what it looks like inside #Speirgorm

So why isn't the State using Baggot Street Hospital for much needed accommodation? Very important question by @unamullally.bsky.social @irishtimes.com #VacantIreland #RestPlayWork #DerelictIreland #HousingCrisis

Time for use it or lose it These former warehouses on Parnell Place (by bus station) should be converted to homes Instead we get a decade of dereliction Well done successive owners NAMA, Cork City Council & Tetrarch Capital for helping destroy our beautiful city #DerelictIreland #speirgorm

If I was chocolate, I’d eat myself xx #TortoiseShack

Low maintenance horror

If you know anyone in Mayo, please send them this very short survey to stop this happening to the Mall in Castlebar (deadline Nov 27th): consult.mayo.ie/en/consultat...

Stand up for what you believe in 🙏 Cork City Ireland now

Jesus, this is horrible, how can they just keep reducing carbon sinks and removing green spaces from the city? Fucking waste of money.

Solidarity is beautiful ❤️ Cork City Ireland now

I used to love the summer time when hoardes of people would gather to lie on the grass, enjoy a bit of romance, get a break from the hardness of the city. Where is all the love gone?? 💔 Who DID this?? #spéirghorm

We did it to Eyre Square/Kennedy Park here in Galway. Butchered in a similar fashion. The man responsible ended up in Cork...

It looks like anti-human design soaked in disregard for accessibility. It looks like Universal Design is an alien concept, almost like it does not exist. It’s brutal for our young/older & our disabled people. Instead of being properly developed & designed, so much money wasted🤯🤦🏾‍♀️ #spéirghorm

While other cities are removing concrete to create green parks Cork is removing green parks to create another concrete plaza Would love to know what the carbon footprint of all this concrete is? Not to mention the removal of trees #PureCork #speirgorm #DerelictIreland #Greenwashing

Awful 😢

Needs more.grass, and young trees to take over from the old trees when they fall.

Again today 1pm 🙏 Cork City Ireland

Hung out there as a teen when it opened, brought lunch in the English market to picnic there when my kids were young. There has been great work done by the council on some parks in the suburbs but why decimate the only green space in the city centre? What I’ve seen looks truly awful

What every city needs. More bricks.

Disgusting, looks like garden landscaping from 2005. There are smaller parks in the middle of central London with more green space, natural growth, & less anti homeless architecture. #Speirgorm

RIP Bishop Lucey Park Only green space in city centre is no longer a green space Seriously how did this cost €7million? Its depressing & says Cork says f*ck biodiversity & climate Ironically the one redeeming feature is that the railings & gates are gone to make it thoroughfare

Was talking about this very thing just this week. At least (and I am reaching here big time) at least in 1980-crappy-3 we could find somewhere to live that wasn’t home. At least we had that. Because there was feck-all else.

Almost a third of medical students left Ireland after graduating demonstrating that the model "educate, evict, emigrate" is very much alive & kicking #DerelictIreland #RestPlayWork

F*ck Fast Fashion

Keeping up with the Joneses Nicholas Lane, Cork City #DerelictIreland

Forget about #COP30 This is where we actually are when it comes to not giving a f*ck about our environment, climate & heritage in Europe And its not a good place We see you @finegael.bsky.social @eppgroup.bsky.social #greenwash #climatewash

CSO have a new project that tracks electricity (under) usage www.cso.ie/en/releasesa...

How about speeding things up by chatting to CSO Ireland to get locations for 72,000 (yep!) vacant dwellings announced in September & apply use it or lose it They should also chat with Revenue to understand why only 2300 properties paid the Vacant Homes Tax #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland

Revenue collecting new derelict tax is step forward Its something @judesherry.bsky.social & I made case for to 2021 @oireachtasnews.bsky.social But it needs to happen straight away, no more excuses or delays, start with existing derelict sites register & build from there #DerelictIreland #Budget2026

In an era dominated by brand washing its refreshing to see a brand such as Starbucks come straight out with their values

We must admit it seems very truthful 😂

it's a trend #Genocide365

Dereliction is a social crime Never accept it ffud art for #DerelictIreland with @judesherry.bsky.social

Loving the honesty of the new branding by McDonalds

Look at these. A lovely terrace, it could be swarming with life, neighbours having a chat, people going about their business. Instead it’s dreary and dejected, part of #DerelictIreland.

Its an housing emergency Time for use it or lose it in Ireland This should be a home & not a longterm boarded up asset Wasting away, detracting from the local community & area How many families would love to be living here, between St Lukes & Cork city centre #DerelictIreland

Keep eyes on Sudan 🙏 Cork City Ireland now
