He and his important voice will be sorely missed. Condolences to his family & friends. #Dublin #RIPFrank #UrbanPlanning #IE

Last summer the Minister for Housing bet big on new apartments. 🎰 He reduced design standards, increased rents & handed developers a €640m tax break. 💶 So has the gamble worked? 🤷♀️ Not according to the Department of Housings own data. ❌🤬❌ https://t.co/JXQ2Tticjl #HousingCrisis #TaxBreaks #UrbanDevelopment #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #theresponseisempty.

The domestic & gender based violence social housing transfer protocol is welcome. But excluding HAP & RAS tenants makes no sense.

Vacant home tax unpaid in 98pc of cases despite attempted crackdown Payments were made on only 1,454 of the 80,000 houses lying empty Having messed up the vacant home tax, hard to see FF/FG getting the derelict homes tax right! https://t.co/wDNlPqVLA7 #VacantHomeTax #HousingCrisis #IrelandHousing #IE
Nobody should be sleeping rough, full stop! Tens of thousands of vacant homes & billions in exchequer surpluses. Homelessness is a direct result of Government policy. It doesn’t have to be this way.

There are solutions to the homelessness crisis.
