Homeless numbers hit new record high of 15,915 Social Democrats housing spokesman Rory Hearne said the figures were “another shameful milestone & an indictment” of the Government These numbers are the direct result of policy choices made by the Government irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/0…

Today’s figures show there were 15,915 people living in homeless emergency accommodation at the end of July. Shockingly, 4,958 of them are children. These record numbers are a shameful milestone for a government that continues to deprioritise homelessness.

Being outbid? There are clearly huge problems in the Irish house purchase market that is adding to rising house prices. The Government doesn't want to know about it and has ditched plans to look at what could change. France and Scotland have sealed bids that remove bidding wars.

The absolute incapacity of Western leaders to enforce intl law when it comes to Israel is EPIC. Ministers, Prime Ministers, Presidents of Republic: Doing NOTHING, diverting attention, sanctioning individual ministers IS NOT enforcing the intl law that was developed after the

Telling councils to double zoned land won't guarantee delivery of new homes. And it certainly won't guarantee affordable housing. It will give huge uplift to landowners in value of land being zoned Why doesn't the State CPO land then zone it-ensuring affordable land costs

Govt plans to instruct local authorities to double the amount of land zoned for housing will not guarantee the delivery of new homes. It will simply give a huge uplift to landowners who will see the value of their land soar as a result. Rory Hearne socialdemocrats.ie/doubling-numbe…

As you know I am a student in Gaza and I’ve an offer in TU Dublin, my semester starts in September and my student visa is processed. My last hope of surviving from this genocide was being evacuated by Ireland and get my chance in life. (1)

Supported the Dubs for Palestine protest today at the Famine Memorial. Mass starvation is being used as a weapon of genocide by Israel. The Irish Government must implement the Occupied Territories Bill Good to chat to Dessie Farrell about on going solidarity for Palestine 🇵🇸

This is very welcome to see the Labour Party support Catherine Connolly for President. Catherine's campaign is growing strong and there is a real desire amongst the public for her values and approach to be a President working for the common good irishtimes.com/politics/2025/…

I'm very worried about where this country is going. The rising hate & racism blaming immigrants for problems Fianna Fail and Fine Gael have created. The way forward is to work together building communities rather than the hate & division that is so destructive.

In my latest Reboot Republic podcast I discuss the cost of living crisis with Louise Bayliss Head of Social Justice & Policy at St Vincent De Paul. We discuss the stigma of poverty & it's continued pervasiveness despite this country's wealth. Reboot Republic open.spotify.com/episode/3A8RgS…

The real contest here is between the needs of the market and the needs of society. This permanent tension is going to arise when a Government’s strategic approach is to rely on the market for the supply of most of its housing, private and public irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…

Landlords are struggling to make sufficient money from renting their lobbyists say.... Yet... income of those with a rental income from a second property.... is €133,800, or 85 per cent higher than households without a rental income, who earn €72,500 irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…

There are 12 times more “entire” properties available for rent on short-term letting platforms than there are available for long-term living, new figures show irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4168…

The response to a PQ I asked highlights the negative impact of short-term lets: That we could house everyone in homelessness twice over in the number of full homes being let short-term is a shocking indictment of the Government’s housing failures. irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4168…

There are twice as many entire properties being let as short-term lets (21,760) as the number of households homeless (2,320 families and 7,060 individuals). These houses did not just spring up on the market like mushrooms. They were allowed to by policy & lack of enforcement
