Whatever your view on judicial review and NIMBY-ism, this is an appalling attack on the rule-of-law — If a person successfully (successfully!) proves wrongdoing by the state, the state will bankrupt them? Cui bono? Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael conies and the worst days of An Bord Pleanála corruption.

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

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

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.

Solidarity is beautiful ❤️ Cork City Ireland now

Another 15 years No better case for use it or lose it so when it comes to the 180,000+ empty homes across Ireland #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland

Never thought I'd see the day Very good news to see work started on this longterm derelict One less empty property & one more home again soon 🤞🏻 Blackpool, Cork City #DerelictIreland

You wonder why we have a dereliction epidemic in Ireland Wonder no more According to Cork City Council this is not derelict A former family home left rotting for decades is not derelict I rest my case #DerelictIreland

🚨 One in every 22 homes in Ireland is either vacant or derelict. GeoDirectory Residential Buildings Report Q2 2025: 🏚️80,328* VACANT homes 🏚️19,821* DERELICT dwellings #DerelictIreland #HousingCrisis In my visualisation, red blocks represent some of the Derelict and Vacant Sites in Dublin City.

A home should never be a boarded up asset negatively impacting the community & environment Its time for use it or lose it so everyone has a home in Ireland Adelaide St, Cork City centre #DerelictIreland

Never forget that politicians make people homeless ffud art for #DerelictIreland with @judesherry.bsky.social

Criminal behaviour when you consider all the negative impacts of this hoarding by dublin city council #DerelictIreland

This is f*cking disgusting, scandalous greed When so many go hungry & without a home A state body that got €1.7 billion from the state last year pays ridiculous staff bonuses while the company is failing so many including the northside of Cork city where we live #HowIrelandWorks #speirgorm

Short answer, yes - and by a number of our politicians too. #Housing #HousingCrisis #Homelessness #DerelictIreland #Ireland

Only in Ireland🙈 The former Curragower House, which had been vacant for 19 years before being demolished in 2021. The site has remained vacant since. This is happening in the middle of a housing emergency, with homelessness reaching a record 16,353 people #DerelictIreland #HousingCrisis

Once our heritage is gone, it's gone forever. Curragower House in Limerick was demolished in 2021 and currently lies vacant. My graphic shows the house in this 1860 painting by C. Mills. #DerelictIreland #HousingCrisis #Limerick

If dereliction is vandalism then Dublin City Council are vandals & should be treated as such #DerelictIreland

It’s certainly a good sign It’s on the council’s radar It might be another year before its officially registered as derelict But this notice might be enough for owner to decide to sell it or to get €70k grant to renovate it themselves #DerelictIreland #Spéirghorm www.corkcity.ie/en/council-s...

Its always great to see more signs go up on derelict properties 🤞 This sign motivates the owner to either sell or renovate #DerelictIreland #speirgorm

I'm old enough to remember when criticising the EU was framed as unacceptable Or is it only good to blame the EU when you're scapegoating your own failures #HowIrelandWorks #spéirgorm #everyoneshouldhaveahome

It can be done, don’t even have to dream up a new system, just copy 1 that works & adapt it if necessary. Govt rathers crush people than lift them up. Welfare Cheats Cheat Us All, Homelessness, Social Housing, cuts to Welfare, #DerelictIreland all Govt policies aimed at hurting working class.

2.5 years ago Micheal Martin told us Ireland were turning corner on house building but now its all the EUs fault He really is clutching at straws now #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland

Two articles in todays @echolive.bsky.social are a harsh reminder its a manufactured housing emergency that is destroying lives when everyone could have a home #DerelictIreland

Yep, I wasn’t hallucinating.

Me & @judesherry.bsky.social are thrilled the poetry (Jennifer Horgan) - film (Philip Denvir) "crossing over barrack street" inspired by #DerelictIreland & based around our street art in Cork won Irish Selection Ó Bhéal Poetry Film competition 2025 yesterday at Cork Arts Theatre Short clip of end ❤️

I kept count for a while of EU cases against Ireland in this field. Judgments were coming out from the Court of Justice at a rate of one every seven months at the peak. That peak lasted years.

When me, @judesherry.bsky.social found 700 derelict properties within 2km of Cork city centre we knew dereliction was normalised with devastating impacts #DerelictIreland a self-organising grassroots movement was born focusing on changing policy, practice, culture, & demonstrating people power works

Me & @judesherry.bsky.social are delighted short film ‘Crossing Over Barrack Street’ by Philip Denvir on #DerelictIreland featuring poem of same name by Jennifer Horgan & our ffud street art is shortlisted for 13th Ó Bhéal International Poetry-Film Comp Screening tomorrow Sun 2nd Nov, Cork City 1/

Thanks Jennifer for dedicating beautiful poem to me & @judesherry.bsky.social & thanks Philip for reaching out & creating this wonderful piece We're so lucky to have so many wonderful people like ye supporting #DerelictIreland movement Details of screening/competition👇 www.obheal.ie/blog/competi...

“Over 16,600 homeless last month, including 5,200 children” Every month, an increase in people in emergency accommodation.. 9 years after a plan to “end homelessness” when there were 4,377 adults & 2,470 children homeless (Oct 2016) www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Simple: they don't have morals or a conscience.

Stand up for what you believe in Cork City Ireland now

The poor kids This is down to government policy How the politicians can sleep at night is beyond me #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland

Record breakers Congrats Micheal Martin, Simon Harris @finegael.bsky.social @fiannafailparty.bsky.social & your complicit allies Your policies are working 5,238 children without a home is some thing you will be forever discredited with it You simply don't give a f*ck #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland

Eviction is murder we wrote ffud art for #DerelictIreland #spéirghorm #vacantireland

Allowing properties—especially those of architectural heritage—to remain derelict or vacant for decades should be considered a crime against the state. #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland #Cork #Ireland Google Street View: maps.app.goo.gl/nHCmPdYfTZ1m...

#speirgorm #derelictireland ☘️ it's a fucking disgrace

Compared to our '21 Oireachtas Committee reccomdendations Cultural acceptance of #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland is gone 'Use It or Lose It' is now the mantra Plus we got 2 new taxes 💰 Vacant Home Tax 🪙 Derelict Property Tax 🤞 in the next 4 yrs will get more holistic policy solutions👇

Hoarding homes in a housing emergency is akin to hoarding food in a famine Irony is this is what Dunnes Stores "Better value" are doing Sitting on 20 apartments in Macroom, Co. Cork for 20 years Welcome to #DerelictIreland where protecting property rights is deemed more important than human life

30years!! It’s not quite as bad as doing nothing, but it’s very close to it. #DerelictIreland dreary, dispiriting, neglected, abandoned, hoarded, crumbling, stagnant, Ireland. If the owners can’t be found, let the councils take them over, sell them and buy them after when the owner shows up.

Great to see my iconic North Main Street photo being shared by ThomasGould, TD in Dáil to continue shining a light on #DerelictIreland I took it on 25th of December 2021 Christmas Day was only time I could get a photo without cars, its been shared across globe since Screenshot: @corkbeo.bsky.social

People getting 4 or 7 grand a week, after such a huge bailout? Bakhurst getting the price of a house in Dublin every year to platform Maria Steen & other right wing nutcases while we’ve a homeless crisis, #mica crisis, #DerelictIreland crisis, A&E trolleys crisis, & 600k living below poverty line 🤯

The colonisation continues, have no doubt this is disgusting state enabled violence, should be no place for evictions in 21st century Ireland Shame on successive governments led by @finegael.bsky.social @fiannafailparty.bsky.social & their buddies for enabling this #DerelictIreland #HousingCrisis
