Tánaiste besteht darauf, dass nicht jeder Anspruch auf staatliche Wohnungen hat – RTE.ie

Every time he tries to hide behind this shite, it should be drilled gone repeatedly that the migration issue is entirely due to his party, both the FF wing of it and the FG one.

People have been making sounds about the dangers and potential fallout, even just from a sheer logistical POV (eg. number of people in Ireland vs number of available dwellings and not the ‚white replacement‘ racist shite) and for years the likes of Simon and Helen McEntee wrote it all off a „far right rhetoric.“

Spoken like a man who hasn’t been in government for all of this housing fiasco

Most of it shouldn’t to be honest. Also there should be a review and reclaim process where the context changes.

The headline is misleading but is still correct.

„Not everyone has a right to state housing, but institutional landlords have a rignt to buy up all the new housing“

Yet another attempt to reframe the housing crisis as being the fault of immigrants. It’s not subtle but it’ll sadly probably work.

Jeez, Simon, what an idea. [If only it was a long established policy already](https://www.gov.ie/en/department-of-housing-local-government-and-heritage/circulars/circular-housing-412012-access-to-social-housing-supports-for-non-irish-nationals/)

He appears to be subtly conflating emergency accomodation with state housing more generally-as the circular lays out the entitlement to the latter is clearly laid out (e.g. you can’t rock up off the boat and get a free house)

He is correct 

Here’s an interesting scenario / game.

Check social housing earning requirements for the vast majority of the country, by that I mean the max amount of EUR a single person can be earning that allows them to be able to apply for social housing in the most populated areas. Keep in mind the amount stated is net, not gross so this would be after tax, meaning how much earned is actually a bit higher

Now compare that to min wage yearly income

Or compare that figure to the current median wage earned in Ireland.

Looking at those figures, please explain to me how they seriously dont expect a large majority of the country to not think they have the right or need to be in social housing.

Its ridiculous.

The other thing thats ridiculous is the difference a social house costs compared to renting. You are talking 300-400 (can be way less if earning low or on welfare) a month vs a min of 1.3k a month, (an remeber you’ll never be sharing in social housing, I actually shuddered writing that as i can see them putting this forward as an idea in the not so distant future… )The gap here is way to vast

Proposal, get these 2 monthly amounts closer to one another. Make renting an approachable thing for everyone, make renting more appealing. Make it so while renting people can still save and eventually get their own place instead of dumping 30-50% of monthly earning solely on having a roof over your head while you wallow in depression of never being able to change that cause you cant ever save more than 20 eur a month due to these costs

Until that changes then everyone will want a right to social housing and they are not wrong for wanting it given the alternative

I understand the point being made in the article an agree with it- if you chose to take your opinions from click bait headlines , well off with you for an hour of rabid frothing at the mouth….
