Sinn Féin capitalised on young voters’ concerns about housing #GE2020 https://t.co/DlwCctHgLQ

Honoured to have been re-elected as a TD for Dublin Mid West along with my great comrade @Wardy1916 .

To the voters who have put their trust in me I promise not to let you down. It’s time for change, for a better Ireland for all. #GE2020

440% increase in homeless children in only 5 years under #FineGael who are you going to vote for #GE2020

[Rory Hearne @RoryHearneGaffs]

'A Future to Look Forward to'. Fine Gael are proud of their housing policies. Over last 5 yrs homeless children increased by 440%. With another 5 yrs of a Fine Gael Gov I estimate there will be 21,000 homeless children by 2025. Vote @FineGael for a future of #homelessness

"This election will be fought against the backdrop of an unequal society. We’re a rich country with terrible childcare policies, with 4,000 homeless children, with an entire generation of young people for whom the property ladder is a pipe-dream". #GE2020 https://t.co/Q7MaY4QJXg

Utter madness...just tax the bejesus out of Airbnb & other short term let platforms...there are 6900 full homes being let on #Airbnb yet just 340 registered! These should be homes...
Rise in new Airbnb lets as landlords flout rules despite housing crisis https://t.co/mdbQ7SWOTE

This is insane, economically illogical & unethical - must be stopped. Dublin City Council planning to sell off to private market publically owned council sites that could be used to build social & affordable housing for Generation Rent & #homeless

3,873.

This is the highest ever number of children in emergency accommodation to date. #NoChild2020

Number of homeless children in State reaches highest ever level https://t.co/NjiTAWDnn4

[SVP - Ireland @SVP_Ireland]

#Homeless crisis is deepening and causing untold damage, says SVP. It is totally unacceptable for a rich country like Ireland that 3873 children have no place to call home it says. https://t.co/L73GBG1v85

I have an opinion about the whole “let’s dig up Joyce and bring him back to Dublin” idea

"More than 730 children in the homeless shelter: 'Before that I slept on two chairs'"

Amsterdam, 2019: hundreds of children forced to stay in a #homeless shelter. This is what a #housingcrisis looks like.

A busy week ahead in Brussels. We're looking forward to @nicolasschmit2 hearing by @EPSocialAffairs Tuesday morning. Hope to hear how new @EU_Commission will make sure no-one is left behind and how it can help MS to address growing #homelessness & #housing crisis in Europe #EPSR

Every aspect of how we provide homes is dysfunctional. Instead of addressing the problem at the source - which is the lack of housing built by the public, for the public - the Government has relied on the private sector  https://t.co/ea81WvKlVM
