Ireland 2023 with less hospital beds than there was in 1981.
@williamhboney1 gives a harrowing account of his own dreadful experience and the reality of what our health system has become, a complete catastrophe.

[Tony - Pod Guy - Groves @Trickstersworld]

A short extract from the lived reality of @williamhboney1. Our health service is in a deep crisis and people are and will die. Full episode out now everywhere: https://t.co/jdmXimA88A

In light of the press statement released by the 'East Wall Committee' this seems like an appropriate clip to share.
Jonathan Miller calmly responding to Enoch Powell's dog whistling.
It's masterful.

[Eddie Burfi @EddieBurfi]

@mrjamesob On days like today, it’s important to remember the words of the wonderful Jonathan Miller when challenging the dog whistling of Enoch Powell.

It pays to be in a union!
Ground breaking legislation on the way for December 1.
A really great start to the holidays 🌲 https://t.co/4IhdpnVthD

[Karen Doyle @KarenDCobh]

Hey Ireland, we're fast approaching December 1st which means from that day forward tips, service charges and gratuities will all be protected under law and go to the workers they are intended for.
Shout out to Unite's Hospitality and Tourism Branch ♥️
Join a union 👊

[Dripped Out Trade Unionists @UnionDrip]

The A-Team help form a militant farm workers union. Most based episode in the history of television.

@OrielCelt @academydublin @unitetheunion @RhonaMcCord Disgusting behaviour from security.

[Karen Doyle @KarenDCobh]

His face actually lit up refering to the 'ilk' it's like Fine Gael just can't help themselves when they try to put us in our place.
Anyway, who won the battle Barry? That's right...the so called ilk.
Referendum now on our #R2W and one on our Right 2 Housing while we're at it.

[NewstalkFM @NewstalkFM]

"How dare you patronise me." Do we we need a referendum on the ownership of our water? @barrymward and @OrielCelt have differing opinions. @TheHardShoulder

@Independent_ie Oooooh aaaaaah what a rag.

[Karen Doyle @KarenDCobh]

@daraobriain 😂😂 in a world that's gone mad this has provided much needed laughter. Ta.

[Karen Doyle @KarenDCobh]

@MandyLaCombre @fsuireland Caught that Mandy, DV is a topic very close to my heart. Ten days leave most definitely needed. As you said this is a floor, not a ceiling. Excellent!
And some great contributions from other witnesses, such as Dr Nata too.

[Karen Doyle @KarenDCobh]

The IPOA are against the proposed ban evictions.
Perhaps they might be persuaded to have a heart?
And can the government find their soul it's their policies have us here.

What are we?
Lions led by donkeys.

[Rory Hearne @RoryHearneGaffs]

This is a human catastrophe
This is trauma.
On the parents
It's trauma on the children, Homelessness is an adverse childhood experience
We need emergency responses:
-A minimum 18 month eviction ban
-Rent freeze
-Bring the 166,000 vacant homes into use now!
#HousingCrisis

[Karen Doyle @KarenDCobh]

Given that the IPOA are dead set against a ban on evictions, which is grotesque, the greater good can only be served by the state building public housing.
It's utterly devastating for so many stuck in the hostile environment of the rental sector. https://t.co/tFvcudz3m7

Those who support the far right and agree with their ideals should be careful what they wish for.
History shows us barbaric policies follow those who seek to promote fear and hate of others.
Fascism has no place in the land of a thousand welcomes.
We All Deserve Better.

Well said @RoryHearne. Imagine believing in something 'so ridiculous' as a Right 2 Housing.
How utterly radical of you and all of us who believe in the same ideal that people may have the right to a home and might have a life void of despair.
First they laugh at you..........

[Rory Hearne @RoryHearneGaffs]

"there's people dying by suicide in this country because they're going into homelessness, because they cant get a home.
This Govt & previous Govts have allowed the housing situation become an utter catastrophe
We need to put a right to housing into our Constitution #TonightVMTV

@sendboyle So why is my 'Airtricity' linked to the price of gas?
We need re-nationalisation of our energy on a not for profit basis because at this point it really is daylight robbery Dan.

[Karen Doyle @KarenDCobh]

@RhonaMcCord @MandyLaCombre @loreillysf Not only is their stance mean spirited it is downright shameful.
It takes immense courage to seek help in the workplace when the home place isn't safe.
IBEC lobbies government endlessly for supports but can't back workers needing time out to deal with DV. Wow.

[Karen Doyle @KarenDCobh]

@OrielCelt @kierancuddihy @NewsTalk @TheHardShoulder Brilliant conversation @kierancuddihy & @OrielCelt such honesty and sincerity.
Keep going Brendan you have so much good work to do!

[Karen Doyle @KarenDCobh]

@sean_cronin_ie The state through local authorities I would suggest. It was a success in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. If we are serious about fixing this unmitigated disaster then we need to build public housing once again on a mass scale.

[Karen Doyle @KarenDCobh]

Why have a 'Rainy Day' fund when it's pouring down with a housing crisis on the heads of our children?
Build state owned public housing, create jobs, create a stable society resulting in more sunshine and less rainy days! #budget2023

[Rory Hearne @RoryHearneGaffs]

Government put €2bn into a 'rainy day' fund in #Budget2023
⚠️€2bn would build 8000 new Social & affordable homes per year!
It would fund triple that number using @CualannO affordable homes for sale model.
It should be invested now.
That rainy day is today for Generation Rent
