Thank you ❤️

ffud.art for #DerelictIreland
Fair play Martin!
A powerful finish to Martin Leahy's 200 week long protest outside the Dáil.
Everyone should have a home - a message more important than ever.
It's a political choice to make people homeless, while tens of thousands of properties sit vacant.
#EveryoneShouldHaveAHome

Had a great chat with Martin Leahy about his one man housing protest and how movements, activism and protest songs shape a future we might not be around to see.

4.2m beds offered to tourist
45k potential homes* used as hotels
These empty homes won't appear on @GeoDirectory_ie or @ESBNetworks vacant homes data even though 96% of them lie empty this month

*If average homes is 3 bed
👩🎓Rural schools closing

Also ban evictions for sales & limit 2nd homes
Like in Netherlands Germany France Denmark Slovenia Sweden Belgium Spain Portugal Italy & Switzerland
For a country that owes its independence to fight for tenants rights, why do we still prioritise landlords?
#Speirgorm #EveryoneShouldHaveAHome
We should not have 184 thousand empty homes like
We're driven by this desire and passion to make the world better
We get so upset and fustrated when we see inequality and social injustice
#DerelictIreland #VacantIreland #everyoneshouldhaveahome #spéirgorm
If you have an illegal holiday home in Switzerland you will be fined €10k, your property sealed and a tenant will be found for the home.
In Ireland there is nothing stopping you buying an existing home and leaving it empty for as long as you want
#DerelictIreland #EveryoneShouldHaveAHome #Speirgorm
Switzerland has banned the construction of new holiday homes.
Should we do the same in Ireland?
But we can't if we don't even know which new homes are actual homes and which ones will be left empty for most of the year.
#DerelictIreland #VacantIreland #EveryoneShouldHaveAHome #Speirgorm
We need to talk about HOLIDAY HOMES
If you already own a home, should you be allowed to buy a spare one?
The Dutch don't think so
New laws require buyers to obtain permits to buy a 2nd home, while existing owners will be given 1 year amnesty

I'm old enough to remember when criticising the EU was framed as unacceptable
Or is it only good to blame the EU when you're scapegoating your own failures

Walking past empty and derelict homes they would love a chance to live in.
But unless we bring in meassures to stop hoarding and speculation we will have decades more of #DerelictIreland

350k people in urgent need of a home of their own
300k homes not used as homes

5. Don't vote for Heather Humphreys, she owns 2 empty homes that she stores boxes in
Does she believe boxes have more right to a roof over their heads than everybody in Cavan who is in desperate need of their own home?
