I wish they’d also attached semi homeless numbers / number of over 18s living at home to these headlines.
Homeless figure are bad but these are people with their entire support network gone. ie given a couch by friend/relative. The number of people that cant find a place for their ’needs‘ (young rent / family to buy etc), now that would be astronomically high. I feel to people in power 17’000 still seems low when you look at statistics all day (which to be clear, i dont endorse) , maybe a number in the 100’000 would shock them more
I’d say it was a grim Christmas for alot of these kids
„FFG +2“
Absolutely hate this country at times
50% of which are non-nationals. They’ll keep going up if we keep importing people who can’t provide for themselves or their families.
Time to bring in more doctors and engineers (Deliveroo)
The government (Jokes. They lack the required self-awareness).
€111 billion in tax take last year lads.
That doesn’t include actual homeless people…
Our social welfare system is far too generous
Most of those on the list are waiting for the Irish government to give them a forever home at the expense of someone who goes out and works for it
Those of you who continue to vote FFG, this is on you. Nice one 👍🏻
When FG came into power in 2011 there were 300 homeless children in the state. Today, 15 years of them being in govt, that number is 5,321, a mere 1,671% increase.
Their core voters don’t care.
This is who the majority of Ireland voted for, remember that.
Excellent job by the government, fully qualified to do what they are doing… either they are really incompetent or doing this by design
Has homelessness increased since the 1980s?
Homelessness is generally an indicator of how wealthy a place is.
The US states with the lowest rates of homelessness are the poorest.
I think have a solution, let’s dismally miss housing construction targets for another decade?
It wasn’t that long ago when 10,000 was a scandal.
Will only keep increasing, unfortunately.
