  1. If anyone is in any doubt how FF/FG has zero intention of fixing the housing crisis, you have this prime example.

    Talk about being completely detached from reality

  2. Hhmmm, wonder what could have caused the extra demand???

  3. It’s like someone invited lots of people here and had no where for them to live.

  4. Foreign investment funds bulk buy new-build apartments, which are then advertised for rent only at 2,200+ a month. People realise they can’t afford it, and the new builds remain empty. People continue living with parents or declaring homelessness to enter the welfare cycle.

    The housing market in this country is dystopian atm at this squeaky little weasel and his party are fully to blame

  5. ‘Peculiar’ in what sense the fking countries going down the drain just throwing some houses at the issues won’t fix them. We need new thinkers in the halls of power these people are dinosaurs

  6. Hmm, our number of homes completed is down year-on-year, we are still selling public stock to vulture funds, yet homelessness is higher than ever?

    Peculiar.

  7. I would love to know if it’s that he is some kind of moron, or just that he thinks everyone else is. The journalist not asking a follow up question is clearly one.

  8. Peculiar, means it’s not a crisis to him, not a priority

  9. “*Man who doesn’t care says words that are meaningless*” 

  10. Jesus is this guy for real ??? Talk about delusion..

  11. The gaslighting will never end and they never intended on ending the money machine. Either vote them out or prepare for it to get worse.

  12. Peculiar?

    Was this guy hatched out of an egg yesterday?

    How can he be so utterly clueless about the state of the housing market?

  13. Peculiar is an awful choice of word. Heartbreaking or disastrous would have been more apt

  14. Is he suggesting that they’re lying or something? 🤣🤣

  15. If only he was in a position to affect meaningful change and help those most at risk.

  16. So strange! It’s almost like the growth in population means there are more people vying for those houses

  17. Lads just handed 700 million to RTE from the Welfare fund, no wonder there are homeless when they can’t get social welfare or afford a house when they’re awarding crooks

  18. I’m not saying I condone it but when you have this level of disconnection from reality I can almost understand why people riot. This country has not just failed a generation, it has kicked us while we’re down.

  19. He’s another plant who gives cursory sound bites with no actual intention to fix anything. As I have said for a while now, they are intent on the ruination of the country for 2 reasons. 1. For the benefit of their crony friends and 2. In case SF get in, it will be in enough of a state that the problems cannot be fixed in 1 term and thus, people will want the old crew back. So they’ll be brought back. Better the devil you know, if you will.
