Tánaiste ‘angry’ at sight of homeless boy (5) eating his dinner on street

But Mr Coveney insisted that progress was being made on homelessness.

He added that “this is Sam’s life, without a home or the comfort and security that should be a right for every child in this State.The Donegal TD said this was the life of 4,000 children “who have been condemned to this type of nightmare” when the only place children should be at that hour of night is “ safely tucked up in their beds in homes with their families”.

Mr Coveney acknowledged that it was “unacceptable but he said “nobody has a moral superiority on this issue”.

This is the same blue shirt tanaiste who as minister for no houses promised to have no homeless people housed in hotels.

Awh god love him. He obviously doesn’t get out too often🙄

If govt collected €mills in outstanding tax from multi-nationals, they’d be fit to build the accommodation needed, but they prefer to scratch the backs of their millionaire mates.

So what are you going to do about it then. Everyone thinks it is disgusting so please explain what you are going to do to help you these children. No child should ever live on the street it a shame on the government allowing this to happen in Ireland. Do something

What is he doing about it

If he's angry about it do something about it, as the saying goes, don't talk about it do it, 😳🤓🙄🤔

Really the Tánaiste is angry about it is he. Then why is he whinging to the Leinster Times instead of doing something about it. HE! Is the Tánaiste.

Mmmmmmm we are all angry Not all of us are in a position 2 help U Can / should b doing a lot more 4 these children U have the Power ( til the next election )

It’s nearly 2020 this shit is unacceptable in modern society

The poor child. He didn't choose to be born to parents who are unwilling/incapable of looking after him.

Not angry enough to change FineGael policy, the very policy which has led to this. simoncoveney

No parents?

Former housing minister angry at the sight of a homeless child, I wonder whose fault that is?

It's not good...God bless...

Angry that it shows up the treasonous action of his Bilderburger directed puppet party for what they are. Happy to house settlers and Planters while fucking our own out onto the street.

Angry 😠 clearly not angry enough Words are cheap ... get off you’re arses and do something ...

I remember him on radio one 3/4 years ago spouting on about how fine gael will solve the housing crisis. They tell us the recession is over yet the homelessness is worse than ever. Fine Gael- The party of Big Business. And if you're hard up and your kids eat on the street-tough.

FG ideology and policies support and enable homelessness. We see the obscene result.

Stop immigration and asylum seekers until we have a handle on the housing crisis.

Coyote ‘angry’ at sight of Roadrunner being crushed by giant anvil

Lol. He was laughing earlier saying buskers should have a bottle of red sauce in their guitar case so the homeless can enjoy a treat with their meal.

He’s angry because it shows the government up for how incompetent they really are

Honestly , why doesn’t Ireland house the homeless, what is the problem ? Have people gone to Parliament and asked this simple question and demanded an answer? Your PM divides up available taxes, you have the right to ask!

Simple answer. Stop bringing in other countries homeless until Ireland’s homeless is housed. It’s all talk from the politicians, they’re marching to the beat of a world drum. They only care what the EU & the UN think not what is best for Ireland.

It’s not a joke but where are his parents, as it states eating his dinner.

It's about time that he and his government pals actually do something about the homeless problem and not just use it as a political guilt card

Oh! Probably thinking to himself, what a rotten Government must be responsible for this....oh wait...it is his Party in Government. Dear me!

March 2017. It never happened Simon. And now he is 'concerned' 👇in 2019

Don't recall him doing much of any worth while Minister for Housing unless you got a chance to set out your circumstances directly to him on Prime Time...

Only Irish

Livid I'd say. Incandescent even. Absolutely fucking raging. About to explode. Blowing his top. Lost it. Bloody fuming. Beside himself.......

Maybe he’s on the street cause his parents business closed like hundreds due to insurance fraud and rising premiums. Thank god we have a government that doesnt tolerate that kind of thing 😉

Tanaiste thinks fraud ok .
