The sad reality is evictions are a result of government policy No different from our former colonisers Putting profit & property rights over the right to a home Disgusting #DerelictIreland

Great to see property owners in parts of Athlone, Drogheda, Dundalk, Letterkenny, and Sligo are now eligible for tax relief to refurbish or convert buildings.

Ever wonder why the Vacant Home Tax was designed to fail
Because those making the rules never wanted it to succeed
Tax all second homes NOW
This is #VacantIreland the Gateway to #DerelictIreland
Who needs public footpaths when you share the road with a car instead.
Well done Cork City Council for making our city so unsafe

Sure you wouldn't notice the dereliction at all now with the leaves emerging on this one tree π

π Councils are underfunded
π Councils have 4k empty home
π Councils write off β¬3.5 mil in dereliction levy
Make it make sense
This is #DerelictIreland

This is some serious dereliction of duty A law is a law but clearly not if you are cork city council Over β¬3.5m in dereliction fines written off during last decade whilst homeless & housing crisis reaches epidemic levels And their own houses boarded up because of lack of funding #DerelictIreland

Everyone should have a home Is that too much to ask in 21st century Ireland? We have the homes lying empty, over 160k vacant in last census, yet over 17k face emergency accommodation every night We urgently need political & cultural will for use it or lose it in #DerelictIreland

No confidence. None.
The cost of living crisis
The way they handled r/w protests
The patients on trollies in hospitals
The many vacancies in HSE not filled
The public transport deficit
The housing crisis, made worse by #DerelictIreland + short term lets
The triple lock & an EU army

Its now 21 years since these 20 apartments in Macroom, Co. Cork were complete They've never been used This is why we urgently need compulsory sales, rental & custodian squatting in #DerelictIreland So companies like Dunnes Stores can't get away with hoarding homes in an emergency #speirghorm

We should not have over 160,000 vacant homes when over 17,000 people go without a home
Its criminal
Wouldn't it be brilliant if people went on the streets, roads in their numbers to end this injustice
We live with DΓ³chas π

Why the f*ck would Dublin council sit on these homes for another 7 years after compulsory purchasing In housing emergency Its unreal incompetence & only creates further doubt in their motivations & services & now they're talking of selling them back into private market #DerelictIreland #speirghorm

Frank and Jude have spearheaded the campaign to raise awareness of empty and derelict buildings that litter the country. Thanks to their efforts it is now a national talking point. Councils are reluctantly taking action on the number of #DerelictIreland properties in their area. Beir Bua a chairde.
Me & @judesherry.bsky.social started posting about dereliction in Ireland on 24th June 2020 We started posting under #DerelictIreland in 2021 so community could come together to call out this social crime Its trended every year since, reaching a big global audience, screen is Sept 2021 #speirghorm

Here is start of clip from @news.rte.ie discussing the new derelict property tax we've campaigned for
A sincere thanks from me & @judesherry.bsky.social to everyone for their continued support
We can end this blight & ensure everyone has a home & place to play & create
#DerelictIreland #SpeirGhorm
Was on @news.rte.ie earlier responding to questions from Jennie O'Sullivan on new Derelict Property Tax
@judesherry.bsky.social recorded clip they used, here's extended version
Policy change is positive, something we've campaigned for, however we need enforcement ASAP

#DerelictIreland and #VacantIreland are a huge driver of this. The Govt have introduced another grant now for premises over shops/offices. I hope it makes a difference. Eoghanβs right - pushing people to long commutes while the towns they leave after work have so many empty properties makes no sense
People keep asking what supports are available if you are thinking of tackling a vacant or derelict property.
So I put together this handy guide to useful links, grants, and supports in Ireland.
