“The Victorian building off Clyde Road and adjacent to Herbert Park was used as a nursing home up to 2020. It had until recently been owned by Richmond Homes which put the property on the market for €7 million in September, just months after securing planning permission for a controversial 64-unit Build-to-Rent (BTR) scheme.
In a briefing document for public representatives issued this week, the department said the building was now owned by Goldstein Property Irish Collective Asset Management and leased by Burvea Unlimited Company on a five-year lease”
Am I reading that right housing asylum seekers is seen as a better investment than BTR? I suppose more money right now with far less up front cost?
Going to be seeing a news story of this place being burned down in a few days
35 years old, working and paying taxes all my adult life yet at constant risk of homelessness. I very regularly worry about where I’ll live when I’m older while I’m gaslighted by my own government. I’d be better off on the dole.
Finally moving asylum seekers into areas that have better services and more wealth. Personally i think thats a good thing and its more fair on everyone.
FFG going to come under some wicked pressure from the richer end of their bases now if they’re starting to dump people in the backyards of places like Ballsbridge.
Things must be worse than we know about if they have to resort to that.
What’s all that then? Where are the conspiracy theorists shouting about how things would be different if asylum seekers were put in Dublin 4 meaning that would never happen?
If the posh D4 heads don’t end up making a fuss, you’re gonna see some incredible mental gymnastics by all the people who claimed much of the criticism of the East Wall/Ballymun protesters was just anti-working class/anti-Northside bias.
This here is the reason old people are stuck using much needed hospital beds for extended periods, this country is going to absolute shit
Sounds like someone made a bad investment and needs insurance money fast
show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome
This is absolute madness, a serious discussion about this country’s immigration, asylum policies and why very few are ever deported. When you move to hundred and 20 people into a place simultaneously. There is not a snowball’s chance in hell that they will ever integrate. They will form cliques with other migrants within the group that speak their own language, have similar cultural values, et cetera and they will not need to deal with the locals.
And for the most part temporary migrant centres are anything but temporary, there have been the same ones open for the past 20 years or more.
It might be unpolitically correct, but these temporary migration centres need to be called what they seemingly appear to be, semi-permanent plantation centres.
The extra pressure on public services is not needed. Then there is the double whammy on housing, that site is no longer going to be used to build houses upon that are severely needed. And later on down the line. There will be an extra 220 people looking for public housing, creating extra demand and competition.
There is a total lack of forward thinking in this country, for the most part, politicians are only concerned with the next election and racking up politicians as well as getting parts on the head and getting favours/future employment opportunities, bypassing unpopular legislation. The immigration regulations are practically wrote by the NGO lobbying groups.
The matter of immigration from outside of the EU needs to be put to a public vote.
Fine Gaels approach to this reminds me of the Mr Bean episode with the steak tartar where he just tries to get rid of it anywhere. In a fellow diners bag, in a bread bun, in his pockets, under the table.
They just seem to throw the asylum seekers wherever without little thought. Saying that Ballsbridge is one of the better choices of location they have made.
Hopefully the residents who objected to the 64 apartments are suitably pleased with this outcome.
Finally the Official Ireland elites in government and media will get a dose of enrichment in their own back yard 👏👏👏
Victorian opulence provided for free to foreigners from far away lands who have nothing to do with us, paid for by the taxes taken from our hard-earned income, while native Irish starve on the streets
Time to set it on fire. Kidding.
Because we had an excess of nursing homes.
I do realise it’s former. The government should assist in housing our elderly rather than accommodate new arrivals
I wrote my leaving cert projects in that building after it wasn’t a nursing home anymore!
Is there an alternative nursing home in the area, because if not then this is fucking bullshit. People that require care _need_ nursing home facilities. It’s not optional. How the hell does the government not say to these private companies, ‘look this is an emergency, you cannot apply to change your business to a form of non-medical accommodation’.

This genuinely makes me angry.
