    Great video! I live close to Grove Park and I am in private rented accommodation. I am sixty one years old, disabled and I suffer from chronic osteoarthritis. I have been on Dublin City Council housing list for ten years. I receive HAP to supplement my extortionate rent in a damp mould ridden studio apartment. During COVID I was evicted from my previous accommodation on the North Circular Road because my landlord sold the house. The house was sold within his family and after extensive refurbishment it was rented out again at twice the previous rent. My present landlord avoids any kind of preventive maintenance of the property and is reluctant to do essential repairs. I am at his mercy and if he ever decides to sell up I would find myself homeless. The reality is that a select few in Ireland are living high on the hog at the expense of the many. Landlordism is worse now than it was under British rule in the 1900s.

      I hope you get a permanent place soon. Maybe you could go to a politician to get a place owned by Dublin City Council. I know people who got places by doing that. Also, you might apply for a place with the Iveagh Trust as you are on the Council housing list. Again with the help of a Councilor or politician. The I.T. own estates at Mount St. Anthony at the back of the swimming pool in Rathmines, in Kevin St. and Bull Alley St. Good luck.

    Let's face it, FF and FG have primarily been in government in one way or another since Ireland got her "freedom". FF/FG/G have been in government, and what exactly have they achieved?
    When considering who you vote for, ask yourself these questions:
    Has my life and the lives of my family improved during this term of government?
    Has social housing/affordable housing increased?
    Has the health service improved during this time?
    Have I got a reasonable standard of living?
    Am I pleased with the standard of education?
    Is there a good future for my children/grandchildren?
    Has the crime rate lowered during the government's term?
    Had the government a handle on immigration?
    Did you feel listened to and respected by the government?
    Do you feel any of the above will improve for the betterment of you, your family, and Ireland should FF/FG (and ?) be voted back in.
    We've all clearly seen what the old has done and what it will do. So, do you want the status quo or new horizons? Peter is definitely a brand new horizon.
    If nothing changes, then nothing changes!

    It looks like the division of those elegant houses into tiny flats is creating tenements - very expensive ones. And if people have to spend most of their income on rent, that will keep them relatively poor and limit their chances of ever getting ahead e.g. owning their own home.

    The alternative to the housing market we have is a housing market in which house prices are falling rapidly and rents are falling just as fast and people with mortgages stop paying because they feel like suckers if their mortgage is worth more than their house. The government prefers the housing market exactly the way it is. This is why they eased lending standards when the ECB raised interest rates a few years ago. Anything that threatens the housing market we have will be countered by the government which has a basket of tools at it`s disposal. This is why we need a severe global depression. We need something the government will not be able to handle. Then we will get the housing market we need.

      @@Loy365 It would be very difficult to keep house prices steady, i.e. neither rising or falling. So the government prefers to keep them rising. If there is even a small decrease in house prices, it threatens the government`s precious bubble and they add stimulus to get house prices rising again because that is what they want. What we want has to wait until they run out of ammo.

It's a Western capitalist phenomenon, that started in the 'greed is good' 1980s, when housing became an investment commodity instead of a place to live. Leave Ireland if you must, but be aware, you won't find cheap, affordable housing anymore in any Western country.

    The separated males and single males, existing in those insecure, crummy and teeny bedsits; MUST be addressed. And the Councils, via Rent Allowance, hap. etc. - virtually paying the extra mortgages of the 'Landlords', i.e. Housing INVESTORS.
    (n.b. is it from the ECB Private Bank that the Councils draw down money from?).
    As, some yrs. back;- article by Jeremy Warner of The Daily Telegraph:- "....plan.... to stoke house prices.... will put another rocket under THE PARASITIC INDUSTRY OF BUY-TO-LETS".
    It must be stopped calling them 'Landlords';- and, if saying they're "PARASITES" is ok with The DAILY TELEGRAPH of London; it's ok by me.

    Every one of those houses probably holds 6-8 bedsits; most with poverty males darkly tip-toeing in, trying to keep a bit of integrity.

      Grove Park was populated by British Military families pre-independence, followed by junior civil servants and clerks after Independence. A fine range of house types and sizes matched to the Rank of the occupiers. Zero chance a NCO or even Lieutenant or Captain in Cathal Brugha could afford the rents these days...
