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

“Start with housing. New homes that could ease the affordability crisis aren’t getting built, as land slated for houses is sold instead to data center developers” The Generational Force Hollowing Out the Economy https://t.co/pkoJuQmGt6 via Instapaper #HousingCrisis #AffordableHousing #DataCenters #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.Thus #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

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. https://t.co/bSbY3COkfs #Homelessness #HousingCrisis #EndHomelessness #Nocountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

The price of new build homes, esp in cities, is out of control. The housing crisis will not be solved while such high prices persist. Govt policy has to focus on bringing these prices down, not providing more subsidies.

Revealed: Councils paying private landlords millions of euro each month while thousands of local authority properties lie idle | Irish Independent (translated)

We have to stop these rent hikes. Councillors should vote on it, which is why some Councillors have called an emergency Special Council meeting in SDCC for a motion to stop the Council hiking rents for 20,000 families starting in July. The meeting will happen on the 25th June. https://t.co/2XLR25YRht #RentHikes #HousingCrisis #SDCC #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweet.

The Minister for Housing admits failure & tells people to suck it up! How about an emergency response, to prevent homelessness & get people out of emergency accommodation. How about increasing the delivery of social homes for all who need them to cut waiting lists! https://t.co/kw7PKkLbCC #HousingCrisis #SocialHousing #EndHomelessness #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

At yesterdays joint HOUS/IMCO committee I questioned the logic of the drive for deregulation in house building. Deregulation coupled with lax market surveillance has left the lives of tens of thousands of householders in pieces due to the presence of undetected defective concrete https://t.co/BzPkvGg4Ev #Deregulation #HousingCrisis #ConcreteSafety #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthetweetprovided.

We need commitments NOT to go into government with FF-FG, combined with clear left principles on housing, cost of living, climate, to offer people a clear choice at the next election. Ireland needs a left government that takes on the interests of those profitting off misery. #LeftGovernment #HousingCrisis #CostOfLiving #IE

The population of the state has increased by 382,000 people in the last 5 years. The government is increasing demand on housing, which is pushing up rents and prices and making it harder to get a home. https://t.co/788BougeQp #HousingCrisis #RentIncrease #PopulationGrowth #Nospecificcountrycodesfound.

This is the financial cost of the Govt’s failure in housing. The human cost, for adults & children, trapped for years in emergency accommodation, is incalculable. When will Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael accept they have got this wrong & introduce an emergency response? https://t.co/7E2eOLVJzh #HousingCrisis #EmergencyAccommodation #GovernmentFailure #IE
