Actually it became common place when the powers that he said everyone would get own door accommodation so come on in.
I’ve no issue helping people who need it, but stupid statements like that when we are already struggling with the people that are here and housing is beyond stupid.
Yeah, because everyone was leaving
Bring back the tenements
The problem is that successive governments for more than 3 decades stopped building social housing and subsidised landlords. Then over the last decade (FG in particular) doubled down on this to keep house prices rising for ideological reasons.
Surprised anyone reads Una Mullally.
She’s hardly a step above clickbait
No shit, nobody wants to come to a poor country, indeed, many people leave.
We also had a lot of people institutionalised too.
Tents by the roadside were shockingly common in the ’60s & ’70s.
“Ice cream melts in sunny Irish weather making a sticky mess” – Una Mullally
“The 1940s to 1980s were a golden age for newspaper owners to make money and journalists to make news.” Nieman Journalism Lab
Now the journalist has become the news story.
The subject matter tipping from the facts to sensationalism.
The detail becomes intentionally convoluted & benign.
There is no deadband area within which the truth, merit or skill operates.
Modern Journalism lacks the convictions of endeavour in risk.
It is now forged in a crucible heated by mediocrity,
spun by the force of narcissism
& cooled by false piety into its final form of an alloy of base metals such as tedious thought & the fear of complex ideas.
We have successfully in this Golden Age of Freedom of Information moved quickly to revise the ideals of the 17th century to 18th century Age of Enlightenment and the 19th and 20th century’s great ‘Age of Reason.’
How the Master wept for the apprentice threw away his tools and took up the levers of the machine.
You mean like back in the day of industrial schools and laundries?
Pretty sure that was worse than living in a tent.
Ya know with all the abuse and murder…
Up until we were a rich nation our tents were on the streets of London. But, sure…
In the past, homeless people slept under newspapers, cardboard boxes, or in coats.
Until about 20 years ago, tents were clumsy awkward things that had to be pegged into the ground.
Whatever point there was to be made, Una lost in in a clumsy clickbait.
