I saw this listing thinking it actually wasn’t too bad. €1000 a month for a modern room in D1, then realised you’re sharing the room with someone else. This is absolutely absurd!

  1. The Irish government are actively supporting putting people in dangerous situations (also would be terrible for mental health) for a fucking rip off. If you are young (or whatever age!) I implore you to leave this greedy fucking country.

  4. 1000 for 8 months, 1250 for 4 months a year. Uuuuber dodgy

  5. Build even less new housing in Cork… That will solve it!

  6. Tech workers- especially those coming from abroad on ridiculously high salaries will pay it to be close to the offices- it’s insane the rent prices they pay but they can afford it and still have plenty of disposable income left over. Sharing a bedroom is a bit silly though. I know a group of people in tech sales in the apartment block next to this one paying €1500 each for a shared apartment (own bedroom but share apartment with one other). They still live like kings. It’s mind boggling.

  11. And people wonder why so many of us still live with our parents.
    edit: Just in case it’s said, yes, I vote., I’m just probably gonna leave the country in the next year.

  12. Bedsits are illegal but forcing two adults to share a bedroom is not wtf

    The skyrocketing homelessness is surely set to continue in this country

  15. That’s a student accommodation building, so it’s a dorm room. 

  19. You’re not allowed to own a home or have a family. Your role is to work and generate profits.

    You don’t like this reality? Who cares? You should be happy to buy a hot chicken roll and a can of sugar water. Or the fourth pint that allows your sorrow to subside enough to be able to laugh. Not the laughter of a parent and child, but enough of a laugh to drag yourself out of bed tomorrow morning when that horrible alarm on your phone goes off again.

    Why do you want so much? Why do you dare to dream of a home and a family?

  20. It looks like it’s intended for students, so yeah, dorms typically include roommates.

  21. I feel like this is because there’s a lot more people desperate enough to take it than there are those with the fortitude to say feck it, out on the streets I go. To be fair, I’d be one of those desperate feckers too given the state of the country.

  22. Pretty sure this is a room in the NCI student accommodation.. so you’d likely have a few of these rooms to one apartment.

    Are you required to be a student to live there? A bit odd if any randoms can live there amongst the students.

  23. Insanity. This country is reaching new lows every day

  24. This is far from the worst setup I’ve seen on daft. I came across 1 ad that was 3 bunk beds in a single room, going for €800 each, with 2 rooms setup like that. Its absolutely grim

  25. I applied for a job that offered accommodation in Dublin (crèche). Well it was a catfish. I was like oh I am not interested then in this position.
    Mind you, they want us to have education and then they pay us the same or less than people on unqualified jobs and on top now we get catfished…
    I have been catfished 2 times in 2 weeks searching for a job in Ireland.

  26. You’d be working 18.5 hours a week on minimum wage just to pay for this load of shite.

  27. Wait until they try bringing in hot bunking.

    6 strangers per room. One double bed, and a roster with an 8 hour window that a space in the bed is available to you.
