If you’re a young person and don’t have anything tying you here like dependents or a health condition, you should be making moves to actively leave this country.
Go to America, go to Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Scotland, England, France, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands.
Do not give these bastards your tax money only for them to hand it over to the bastard landlord class on top of your income until you’re mid thirties and forced to fuckoff to the bog end of nowhere and live out your remaining life doing the exact same job you could be doing in California or the Algarve.
You probably won’t get a house in a lot of the places I’ve mentioned but you’ll be in larger cities, meeting more interesting people with better weather, transport links and social events than you’ll ever get here.
Dip out, lads. Waste of fucking life in this country.
I’m kinda shocked at this even though I shouldn’t be. It seems insane to me they are actively pushing god knows how many into homelessness. I get that they are worried about spooking landlords and causing them to sell but it’s far too late for that and with house prices so high we are about to see a mass exodus. Being a renter in this country just gets bleaker and bleaker.
I’d say they got legal advice that there was a challenge incoming and they couldn’t win it. That said they should have fought it in court even if just to make them seem more sympathetic to tenants. Just lifting the ban is electoral suicide.
Junior minister Jennifer Carroll O’Neill on with Katie Hannon looks like she is about to vomit with the hospital pass just thrown to her and knowing that she has an hour of abuse ahead of her.
Apparently they are going to get the councils etc to buy all the houses that landlords are now going to sell. Unless they have a mini budget next week and divert billions to the councils it’s hard to know where the money is going to come from.

The government make the law, so it’s bullshit that there is any prospect of losing a legal challenge.
I mean it, if those affected by the housing crisis don’t engage in a deliberately economically disruptive protest campaign – like a long-term protest blocking use of Dublin Airport – then this is the governments cue to fuck you and everyone else over, to an even greater level, because they know you’ll not do anything about it.
The public are _not_ on your side – there are too many divided interests – so your protests can not afford to play nice, in order to stay within the law or on the side of public opinion – you have to be entirely out for yourselves, and pick a method of protest that is maximally effective.
Relieved to see that property rights are still a thing in Ireland in 2023. 🙌🏻
Communism still have to wait a while longer!
Won’t somebody think of the landlords (in Leinster House)!!!!

Eviction ban going, a legal threat no doubt was issued. If it went to court the Government would lose.
Believe June was already the case for some depending on your length of tenancy and initial notice.
For anyone curious re. potential legal threats….
