Here is an example of some of the challenges that exist for people in council housing in Cork.

Cork City Council spent €1,500 per home on maintenance last year—€1,000 less than other councils.

The Budget Meetings is tonight. We’re meeting at 5 PM outside City Hall, join us!

Josie, a wheelchair user & council tenant in Mayfield, has faced over a year of neglect: damp, mould, leaks & now flooding. Her health is at risk, & the Council continues to ignore her pleas. #HousingRights #Cork

@ThomasGouldSF @MickBarryTD @padraigosull @ColmBurkeTD - How are you going to help your constituent

[CATU Cork @CatuCork]

Josie’s story isn’t unique. It reflects the systemic neglect of tenants with disabilities. Join us in amplifying her fight & holding the Council accountable. Please share and help us to demand action for Josie & others like her! #DisabilityJustice #Cork #Housing #CATU

[CATU Cork @CatuCork]

@corkcitycouncil @corkcitycouncil we demand:

1️⃣ Immediate repairs to address flooding damage.
2️⃣ Josie’s urgent transfer to an accessible council home.

Josie deserves dignity, independence, & safety in her own home.

I'm afraid dereliction in Drogheda will become like the shoes on the stairs. After a while you don't see them anymore. Passing these the other day I ask how long can hoarding and scaffolding be left there with no work done and how a takeaway can operate in a crumbling building?

Full apartments for rent in Amsterdam at the same price as literally cupboards in Dublin.
Guess that Compulsory Rental Orders on homes empty for 6+ months isn't having any effect.
#VacantIreland #DerelictIreland can learn nothing from this .......
