[Irish Refugee Council @IrishRefugeeCo]

Example of consequences of State policy.

Sleep rough to prove eligibility for accommodation but put self at risk.

Or try find temporary, precarious accommodation but be deemed self-accommodated and lose eligibility.

Meanwhile volunteers pick up pieces.

[CATU Phibsboro-Glasnevin @CatuPhibsnevin]

🟢Local branch meeting tonight!

Upstairs at McGeogh's Bohemian Bar, 6.30pm.

All members welcome - there's lots to discuss and it's a great time to get involved.

[CATU Belfast @catubelfast]

Several political parties/MP candidates replied to our open letter before the General Election this year, indicating that they would push for changes in how the Local Housing Allowance/housing support is calculated.

[CATU Inchicore & Kilmainham @CATUInchicore]

As Ireland's community and tenants' union we are disgusted by Taoiseach Simon Harris's comments yesterday that the housing crisis is caused by refugees and asylum seekers. Read our response 👇

[FREE PALESTINE🇮🇪♥️🇵🇸 @OisinOD]

I wasn't illegally evicted because of immigrants

I was illegally evicted by an Irish man who wanted more than the 2000+ he was getting for his apartment he had owned for over a decade

[CATU Inchicore & Kilmainham @CATUInchicore]

This is simply divide and conquer to divert from the real issues. A government that has failed to deliver public housing, curtail the power of private landlords, and actually address the housing crisis.

[CATU Inchicore & Kilmainham @CATUInchicore]

Simon deflecting once again to let his own government and party off the hook.

They are the reason housing is in such a mess in the first place, not people who have fled here from war or persecution.

[CATU Inchicore & Kilmainham @CATUInchicore]

Our members face homelessness from rising rents and the lifting of the eviction ban Simon and his predecessors have actively encouraged. Our members who have been granted refugee status are given no wraparound supports to access accommodation.

[Dublin Inquirer @DublinInquirer]

More than 5 percent of Traveller households in Dublin are living in emergency homeless accommodation. “The private rental market is not a solution to the housing crisis, most particularly for Travellers. Councils are also failing to deliver.” https://t.co/Vkyc8s2UPk

[CATUFingal @CatuFingal]

Insightful talks organised by @CatuIreland with speakers from San Francisco on anti-eviction mapping and from Colombia on indigenous community land rights.

[CATU Inchicore & Kilmainham @CATUInchicore]

Branch Meeting!

Come along to the Bosco next Tuesday the 3rd September at 7PM to scheme on how to intensify our organising around poor housing conditions, our Rent Strike documentary scheming, and more!

[CATU Ireland @CatuIreland]

Another @ipsc48 national demonstration for Palestine coming up this Saturday: come and march with your tenant union, behind your union banner! Meeting outside Mandate union office at 1pm.

[CATU Ireland @CatuIreland]

The CATU eviction database team have been busy collecting data from RTB case files and other sources about evictions.

See some highlights in this thread! 🧵
Also come along to our workshop on Sun 01/09 to learn about anti-eviction research and other international campaigns.
