This is the same Amnesty international that was helping Putin in his war to destroy Eastern Europe and drive millions to west, hence making these issues here worse.
Living standards in Ireland have regressed 70 years. At the weekend my neighbour’s son was proudly displaying the DIY job he did on his child’s cot on social media. They basically cut it in half and reattached the legs and back on to it so it could fit into the room the family are living in. They lost their rental property earlier this year and have moved back into his parents house. His sister and family are also living in the same house so basically three families comprising of 8 adults and 3 kids in one 3 bedroom house. He’s in his late 30’s living in his small childhood bedroom with him and his wife in the only bed, his baby sleeping in a cot cut in half and his older child sleeping on cushions on the floor because there’s no more room for another bed. This is present day Ireland folks. We’ve gone back to the times of tenements!
Now watch our government do something about it in response…. Right?
… Right?
… Hello? (*echo echo echo*)
On paper Ireland is a thriving rich country, the reality on the majority of the ground is very different, Irish citizens have been failed by successive governments making poor policy decisions, unfortunately I’m not optimistic that this is going to change any time soon but hopefully I’m wrong.
Can’t believe Amnesty have become so populist..
Wait til they find out we need 50k homes by 2026 for asylum seekers alone! Rodmaster NGOrman can’t do basic math it seems.
The UN had similar criticisms of the Irish housing issue recently:
You know it’s really bad when international agencies and even magazines in Germany are feeling the need to speak out about it.
Amnesty campaigned against direct provision
Funny it’s been like that for years but do good boys, girls and others in Amnesty only noticed now because we have 100k+ illegal migrants, not talking about the Ukrainians who I am happy to help, but then Amnesty has been very silent about Russian invasion of their homeland.
Moscow Muppets 🎯
TBH it is true, however Amnesty is not a serious or credible organization.
What do you expect in a Banana Republic ? !
They still supporting the MBB?
Soon they will have Trocáire in Africa raising money for the poor Irish
Thats a pretty clean bill of health from Amnesty International. Literally, ‘fix housing and you’ve a perfect place’
But.. but… what about the HDI???
The Housing Crisis is proof that democracy can’t protect you from a gradual return to a semi-feudal society – all it takes is for those in power to sow up an essential need and make it near-unattainable, so those below them can be turned into serfs.
