Absolutely outrageous that over 200 households were evicted by private landlords into homelessness in South Dublin County in 2024.
Many of these could have been avoided if the government hadn't lifted the eviction ban in 2023.
✍️🏼House owners are renting out their driveways to neighbours in apartments who have nowhere to park, due to what was called "a lack of foreplanning" by South Dublin councillors. https://t.co/nMjfvSvjc9

✍ “Four [rocks] to your door for a score, quicker than Domino’s,” is one of the texts young, vulnerable women have been sent in West Tallaght by those who are profiteering out of the crack cocaine epidemic. https://t.co/tCk6dsEmZ1

"Nicola couldn't figure out if it was a particularly bad day for the A&E in Tallaght or if this is the regular, permanent consequence of an understaffed and underfunded service." ✍️🏼
Vacancy rate in Dublin South West Public Health Nursing service was at 52% in August. I spoke to mothers who were denied the service due to staff shortage and had to turn to private healthcare.
Imagine how Ireland would have been if all the “will you go into the field, Bridie?” men had been incarcerated and made to iron sheets.
