@RoughTrade I think I’d have to say, the best of the Beastie Boys.

[Steven Battle @BattleSteven]

@GaryEgan83 @ABIIreland @sligorovers @BitORedTrust Good man Gary, keep up the positivity, it’s inspiring 💪🏻

[Steven Battle @BattleSteven]

@RoryHearneGaffs @DanielBMate It’s an amazing read. Daniel and Gabor set a guiding light to shovel us out of the shit…

@ILoveSnooker_ @juddtrump That’s absolutely Carrots

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The images from Rafah are unbearable.

What is there left to say? Do our political leaders not see what we see? Is there really no limit to what Palestinians must endure?

Enough! Stop equivocating. Stop stalling. Stop hiding — and call for an immediate ceasefire, now.

Such a lovely tribute to a beautiful soul.
Ross McDonnell was an inspiration to all that had the privilege to be in his presence. Honoured to have worked by his side.

[Totally Dublin @totallydublin]

"He saw the world as a small place that was easily navigable." The amazing Ross McDonnell was a towering figure in the creative scene. We asked a few close friends & acquaintances to share some memories and tributes with us. https://t.co/kvFvVYlULs

This is where Government housing policy has brought us to.
Ryanair buying up an entire estate of homes.
How can home buyers compete??
Its all because Govt refuses to control rents, backed build to rent & refused to build affordable homes on any scale.

An urgent message to Irish America

This is one of the reasons why the housing system is broken in Ireland. Deutsche Bank's €800 billion investment arm fund has acquired 85% (46 homes) in Belcamp Manor, Dublin 17 for €24.5 million. Originally intended for individual buyers, these properties are now being advertised for rent at €3,175 per month (€38,100 per year) by a London-based real estate investment fund on https://t.co/obpQeAid1n

https://t.co/ILoEPVGacr

It is no surprise that in the past 13 years, rent in Ireland has doubled, and house prices have increased by 55%, making it the fastest growth in any major EU economy. Currently, vulture funds own 1 in 6 mortgages in the Irish housing market, while Cuckoo funds and the State purchase 42% of new homes. This leaves a record number of first-time buyers competing for the lowest supply of housing stock nationwide in over a decade. There are just over 11,000 homes available for purchase nationally, the fewest since 2012 when 60,000 homes were on the market.

The 2022 Census reveals that there are 166,752 vacant homes and 66,135 vacant holiday homes across the country. Out of the vacant homes, almost a third (48,387) have been vacant long-term since 2016 and remain unused. Additionally, the current salary required to buy a new home in Dublin is €127,000, which exceeds even a TD's basic salary of €108,987.

Meanwhile, in December 2023, there were 18,648 entire houses/apartments available on the short-term letting platform Airbnb in Ireland. This includes 4,666 listings in Dublin City whilst there is a record-breaking number of 13,514 people, including 4,105 children, who are currently accessing emergency accommodation.

Top Covid tip: rewatch The Revenant and remind yourself what a proper shitty few days actually looks like.
