4 out of 5 new private homes in Dublin hoovered up by landlords.

The housing market is rigged against workers and families looking for a home.

Was on drivetime explaining how the government has engineered this sell off.

NEW:

Cllr Eibhlín Seoighthe (Galway City Council) has resigned from the Social Democrats.

[TheJournal.ie @thejournal_ie]

Cian O'Callaghan's administrative assistant has quit the Social Democrats following the party’s decision to lift Eoin Hayes’ suspension.

She said Hayes should not have been given a “second chance”.

It was disappointing to see @SocDems announce this at 6:30pm yesterday evening, hot on the heels of the vote to increase LPT

I have a lot of time for SD reps + members, they're hardworking+ genuine in their commitments, I want to see a more united left, but this undermines trust

@spideogx Have you tried putting in a formal request? Like a freedom of information or data subject access request? If there's no email do registered post to the business address

[Fórsa trade union @forsa_union_ie]

"Forsa said there was 'a growing crisis in workplace safety' at the facility. Senior management was 'failing in their duty of care' to staff & this was exacerbating a crisis in staff recruitment and retention."

“Just two out of 10 staff recruited at the start of the year remain"

A one-bedroom apartment in Galway in the first quarter of 2007 was €691 and €1,413 in the final quarter of 2024

=> a minimum wage worker in 2007 had to work 79 hours to cover it compared to 111 hours today

(=66% of gross monthly full-time earnings)

Despite new reports like this, Meta still hasn't taken down the Facebook page organising house by house violence.

It's still up right now

@lesleybyrne As a social care worker I want to say Thanks for voting in favour to protect care leavers priority lesley. I am so disappointed lots of your Soc Dem colleagues did not.
I hope you can work within your party now & in the scheme of letting review yous undo such restriction on CLP

[Cllr. Lesley Byrne @lesleybyrne]

I was more than happy to support this motion. The complexity and trauma experienced by many young people leaving care can’t be underestimated and housing should not be added to the list.

We continually fail our most vulnerable.

The Justin O'Brien Bursary has been launched.

Funded by the Community Foundation of Ireland, it seeks to address education inequalities by offering financial support and public recognition to care-experienced students, https://t.co/GLF9BxlkJB via @rte
