    Homlessness is a political choice. They can house foreigners but somehow not Irish people.

    Ya they go into emergency accommodation so they then get a house quicker every one knows that trick and most off the ten thousand he talks about are flying in here to get the free homes it’s the poor Irish people liveing in tents up lane ways all around our city there the ones need help

    The land grabbers cannot legally build in Ireland ..they cannot consecrate cities ,build cathedrals commission waterways or design new towns and villages without the King of England' permission...and that's a fact ...tbey can only build military encampments, commuter belts and other containment containers for conquered people's as Europeans have done worldwide ..all of which failed and were rejected by revolt and rebellion...the government have a Persian mindset in taxation,an Ottoman mindset in social order,a Greek way of going about their decision making all propped up by a cause which once cited the European devastation on the American Indian and their indigenous peoples....as their justification to war with Britain..only now they are the European' most reliable lap dogs....not surprising the first thing Dail Eireann did with independence was form the Irish Kennel Club to rival the UK kennell club with colonel Michael Collins being the first to.registet his dog a Kerry Blue...so this state was founded on the importance of building kennels not houses...this state doesn't even have an independent architectural college only bolt on' to existing corporate sponsored universities..as for biotecture (which is the solution) the very word draws a blank and doesn't appear even in the Gaeilge... Sorry to hear about your brother Philly...Jesus was a homeless man too when he was alive and His apostles ..they built lots of houses for Him after they killed Him,,..even enshrined their Constitution to Him..

    I don’t believe in homelessness, and I never will. Work harder and stop acquainting with the wrong people.

    There are plenty of people working hard and still cant get a place to live, it's not all to do with getting in with the wrong people. So dont look down your nose at these people, it's our lovely government
