      It’s actually mad how much faster the population of the south is growing compared to ours in the north

      What housing crisis!!!

      The numbers actually hide the real impact, outwards migration are mostly people leaving their childhood bedroom, offsetting the inwards who need their own home – so it’s actually much worse than it looks, we’re going backwards in terms of housing.

      Yeah and how many will be a net negative to the economy and live off the backs of hardworking EU and Irish taxpayers?

    4. Seven times the EU average, God damn. That’s almost a new Limerick city in one year.

    5. Honestly great news, working age immigrants grow the economy. 🥳 not issue free, but better than the problems of high emigration and falling population

      And in a population of 5M+, 90k is less then 2%, not some “explosion”, “invasion”, or whatever the wankers want to claim

      If you seriously don’t think this is aggravating the housing crisis you are delusional.

    7. >Recently, Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe was asked about a column in The Irish Times by David McWilliams suggesting inward migration would have to decrease to allow the housing supply to catch up with population growth.

      >Mr Donohoe responded by saying the expanded labour force is generating tax revenues that can be invested into infrastructure.

      >He said investment in infrastructure will help the State cope with inward migration. “A growing population with growing investment is how we will support our economy in the years ahead,” he said.

      79k net inward migration. 30k new dwellings built. But it’s okay because the tax revenue from non-nationals will be invested into infrastructure? It’s maddening how FG policy boils down to „our strong GDP will fix our social problems“. No hands are required on the steering wheel.

      It’s baffling to me where all these 79k people are going within the property market. I know there’s returning Irish in there who will have a support network and somewhere to live. But the Govt know that we’re not building enough places for people to live in, yet each year more people arrive into the fray. There must be some crazy living situations around the place for people who come here and exist on the lowest tier of renting.

      Remember people, it’s harmful Nimbys and archaic , damaging legislation that prevents at-scale housing to be built which has caused our crisis. It’s not the fault of immigrants; aside from the overall good of open borders, we need immigrants to maintain a replacement-rate population to provide essential services as our native population gets older.

      We can have both positive net immigration and provide abundant housing. But people need to be made aware of the issue.

    9. I used to post like mad in these threads. But that was before the election.

      We fucking voted for this, so let’s lie in this creaking bed we’ve made.
