12 years on and the same bullshit and certain people still believe. Surely he also blamed it on SF

Lying b******

The same government who tried to hoodwink those affected by defective concrete blocks when they drew up their fraudulent protocol known as IS465. Gangsters in suits.

The main constraints are bringing 60,000 people into a country to look good at the EU big table when it doesn’t have the infrastructure to manage half that 🤪

'political won't'

12 years you’ve had a chance The only constraint is your party’s mediocrity !

Translation: the main constraints are corruption and nepotism

The constraints to tackling housing issues are that your government are bringing in 1000s of foreign nationals to our country who are presenting as refugees. You need to house our people first and stop looking after the rest of Europe and Africa

Ideology is his problem

Blue is actually blue but it’s red when I say it is.

Of all things to say he said this. Why? Because that's exactly what the issue is and he knows it. Lack of political will is the problem with all the crisis we have. FG ideology of privatisation & capitalism combined with their ongoing corruption & cronyism are the causes

We all see the amount of derelict houses around the country.

Close our boarders and send all the scammers home. Housing crisis solved

Like your policies..

ESB office in East Wall? Seems there was plenty of money available to kit that out for the bus loads of young, healthy, eastern looking men (no women or children 🤔) who arrived this weekend.

Translation: 'There is no lack of anxiety that SF will sweep the boards in 2024 solely on the housing issue that we had ample opportunity to address years ago, but completely failed to because we put the interests of landlords and REITs over our own people.'

Still telling porkies.

Money should be given back to the exchequer. It's clearly not need.

How much of that went into the East Wall ESB 'refugee' centre that was filled with bus loads of eastern looking young healthy men this weekend? Remember Apollo House?

Will is no good on its own. You also need effort and hard work.

New batch of brown envelopes delivered before Christmas

Shameful government

A charlatan this fella! This while government is easily the worst one we've ever had, and that takes some beating

Wanker

Ok Leo For the next 6 to 9 months you could approve, all current rough sleepers with an Irish/EU passport to avail of exactly the same process as Ukranian refugees, exactly the same supports... Put up or shut up

...for Ukrainians.
