This story just reads like Michael Healy Rae is against fixing the housing crisis because he’s making a killing from it.
Foxes against chicken coop protection
A government of landlords.
> *before irreparable damage is done to rural Ireland*
Trust the Healy-Rae’s to blow everything out of proportion ~~and also defend their very likely landlord side hustle~~
He’s dead right. All these fiddling with the housing market measures leads to continued stasis. Focus on supply, it’s the only thing that will solve it
Greedy backward bastard ..
1% additional Tax for each property owned, eliminate the hoarding of property in the hand of a few rich people.
Tax them out of existence.
Oh look a full-time landlord part-time politician speaks
Of course he does !
These lads have no shame yet the locals queue up to vote them back on the gravy train every four years.
hon the Healy
I urge a ‘serious rethink’ of people continuing to vote for this self-serving gobshite.
Burgular urges serious rethink of planned locks on doors and windows.
Honestly, why isn’t conflict of interest part of the gov? He can’t be stating such things with a clear vested interest.
There will be books written in the future about how this period of time saw multi millionaires like Trump and Healy-Rae fooled the public into thinking they were championing the ordinary person while making no attempt to hide the introduction of policies that hurt the ordinary person but championed multi millionaires.
Even a stopped clock tells the right time once a day.
I said it before and I’ll say it again – as soon as we start rolling guillotines up to the Dail we will start to see actual changes. Until then, nothing will change.
Politicians should fear the populace, not the other way around. But people sitting back and saying “ah sure it’ll be grand” means nothing will change.
The cheek of this fucker honestly. Last month he rounded on Ruth Coppinger during the Fox Hunting debate and said “TDs like Ruth see rural Ireland as something to be preserved like a national park, not lived in, worked in or sustained by families.”
I have no idea how such a statement relates to wanting to ban fox hunting but I do know that one of the main obstacles to making rural Ireland – especially along the western seaboard – more amenable for local families and communities is the proliferation of short term lets and holiday homes.
This is what is actually leading to the hollowing out of rural communities (not attempts to ban fox hunting ffs) but god forbid we ever limit the rights of private property owners to make as much money as humanly possibly, regardless of the societal consequences.
From the family famous for campaigning against drink driving laws.
Nothing to be suspicious of here…
Is it true he’s going to be in the new Peaky Blinders film?

There are vast swathes of Western counties like Kerry which are half empty for 2/3s of the year during the tourist off-seasons. It’s not even based on anecdotal evidence, [there’s statistics on this available from the last census](https://www.independent.ie/farming/farm-property/short-terms-letting-like-a-hand-grenade-exploding-in-the-middle-of-a-clearly-non-functioning-housing-market-says-kilkee-councillor/a907127258.html). And we all know why that is, it’s because so much of the housing stock in these areas has been converted into short term lets for the tourists market.
