Ukranian resources and Irish recources should BOTH be provided.BOTH Ukranians and Irish people should be getting more from the government- one people getting resources isn't an attack on the other people. Politicians WANT us ordinary people angry at each other to distract from the governments failures. Affordable housing SHOULD be for both Irish AND Ukrainians.
@@MrDoomDawg I agree that the government wants us turning on one another but at the same time how can we keep taking in refugees if we have no where to put them. It's wrong to tell anybody seeking refugee that they'll be looked after in ireland if they won't be. I believe our government cares more about housing refugees as it'll reflect badly on them globally if they can't. Thats why Irish people get overlooked. If we question this we're called racist, if we accept it, things will only get worse. I think we're all pawns, whether we're irish or Ukrainian in a sick game played by the elites.
We can't / won't provide for our own.. But we'll ship people in from all corners of the earth & take care of them. But we aren't to be bitter. I'll NEVER blame the non nationals, I'll FOREVER blame our government.
800,000 people have come into Ireland over the last 20 years. There is your cause of the housing crisis, yet no one will say it. It is also the reason for long hospital waiting lists and a shortage of school places. We cannot have open borders in Ireland.
So you open to make a deal that all other countries should close its borders to Irish citizens for that very same reason. No one should migrate to any other county and remain where they’re born.
@@stannats2637 So you want more Roma Gypsies, fake African asylum seekers all who take up housing and seem to stay on welfare endlessly. It should be controlled. Do you think someone from Eastern Europe, Africa or other parts of the world get housed before Irish Citizens? We need skilled workers to migrate to Ireland not welfare bums.
@@stannats2637 I don't think it's a case that people shouldn't travel. But you can not bring hundreds of thousands of people into a country this size, no extra hospitals etc. What country in the world ever left there own citizens on the street so as the Irish could go and live there. Everywhere the Irish went they had to battle for everything. We were always told that we couldn't fix our homeless problem. As far back as enda Kenny. Remember a homeless man died on the street outside dail eireann. Which embarrassed them for a bit. But now we can find and build houses for hundreds of thousands, so as our greedy politicians can be big boys in Europe
Don't blame ordinary people trying to make a life for themselves on the failures of your government, thats what politicians want. Blaming each other lets the government get away with it scott free
Globally most countries have a similar story in common. 1% that control politicians/ media / corporations set and control the narrative and pull the strings and when it suits cut the strings of politicians who ultimately have to answer to the 1%, while we throw tomatoes at the puppets to keep us distracted from those in the shadows controlling the worlds wealth. This merry go round will continue whoever is in charge unfortunately.
Well he doesnt seem to make any sense. On the one hand he says homelessness is more complicated than just building homes. Then when asked well what he's going to do about it he says well we're build more and more homes!!!! How flipping insulting. Why hadn't the presenter picked up on this and pin him down. instead of letting him waffle......
Ireland is defunct on so many levels it is unreal - no wonder we have brain drain, again, and the youth leaving in their droves - future knowledge lost to the massive corporate here now, who will simple move somewhere else when we cant provide to their needs and ask them to pay too much for a skill-base they cant get anymore - come one Ireland, we are verging on an unsustainable model for basic life, now, and in the future - again!
@@jackmoretti7943 It's only starting .....

Quality of life is important, Ireland , especially Dublin is a kip thanks to politicians and senior pampered public service.
The gaul of him to get up there shrug his shoulders to the huge climb of population of over 5million people, when he full well knows all the homeless are the indigenous Irish people.
Lies lies lies. I applied for the first home scheme, it was called rebuilding Ireland home loan scheme. It’s an utter disgrace. The percentage of people who are approved is less than 10%. Myself and my partner ticked every box and still the local authority has been the greatest waste of time. They make you jump through hoops for months and months. It’s coming up to 3 years since we applied and have heard nothing in the last 9 months.

Nah man, you have it backwards. Leo and the lefties are bringing us ever closer to our glorious utopia. He loves a bit of marxist transition period where everyone becomes so desperate that we all end up fully dependent on the state. That is the ultimate goal, then we can never speak up comrade
Because Governments get a money kickback for every refugee. With Ukraine being the most corrupt country in Europe and the money laundering capital of the world a lot of people see it as a huge investment. They play the game and virtue signal that it is all because of the “poor people of Ukraine”. When in reality it is the same as cattle at auction. I take them from you and I make big bucks in the mean time. We will house them beside some working class Irish homes and forget about them then.
When you have sheep as a government what do you expect, bend over backwards for bringing in refugees, not their fault. They are getting everything that the Irish people should be getting. Families on the waiting list for houses getting pushed back to let the refugees have them, not right. It's worse its gonna get.
Charity is an industry, ngo’s have a massively inflated say in how ireland spends its money and our government prioritise pleasing the eu over its own people.
Government: We have housing crisis so we are building 2,000 in 10 years Also government: Imports 60,000 people every 3 months and has a law every refugee gets a house within 3 months
Leo the liar..he couldn't care less!! Too many foreigners coming into the country so stop that and take care of our people. He'll NEVER be homeless or without and never was so he'll never understand.
Ireland is the biggest charity on this planet at this stage. Close the doors for 10 yrs. enough is enough. People are dying on the streets and this brain donor in his high tower doesn’t give a f&€k.

I was one of the homeless people and what I seen getting thrown around 23 different hotels was kid, 2-3 that couldn't walk without holding onto something, when you see a mother a young kids and imagine that everything they own is in there room, the children ages 2-3 are constantly walking around the room and holding the bed, the locker, anything bar walking around on their own, in the little garden these little kids were just plonked down BECAUSE they COULDN'T EVEN WALK WITHOUT AGAIN HOLDING ONTO SOMETHING...ALSO, DURING MY PRIVATE RESIDENCY I FOUND OUT THAT 67% OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE AGENTS 67% OF THE TIME A TD OWNED THE PROPERTY, I ALSO RANG INTO 103.8 AND DISGUSTED THIS AND IT WAS CONFIRMED, THEN A NEW LAW CAME IN, ALL PRE 63 HOUSES HAD TO BE BROUGHT UP TO TODAY'S STANDARD, SO INSTEAD OF TDS DOING THIS, THEY UPPED THE AGENTS COMMISSION FROM 12/HALF % TO A MASSIVE 28%, THE AGENCY I WAS WITH SOLD MOST PROPERTIES ON THE SOUTH CIRCLUR RD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE...THIS IS KNOWLEDGE THAT UF LIKE THE AGENT I HAD WAS 20 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME, SO I PLANTED IN HIS HEAD, " IF I ASK YOU A QUESTION YOU MUST KNOW THAT I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER ", THIS IS SOMETHING I USED ON MY KIDS, AND IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM ON HIM, THE STUFF ID FIND OUT ABOUT AND JUST SAY TO HIM AND HED SAY HOW ARE YOU FINDING OUT THIS INFORMATION...TDS EVERYWHERE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HOMELESS SITUATION BECAUSE PUTTING A RENT CAP ON PRIVATE PROPERTY MENT PUTTING A CAP ON THE MONEY THEY WERE AND ARE BRINGING IN, HOTELS BUILT EVERYWHERE AND THEY CAN'T BUILD APARTMENTS, EACH DOUBLE ROOM IS AN APARTMENT...REALL DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME....
This might sound mad to you,, But I made a decision a long time ago that I wasn't going to bring kids into this world if I couldn't afford to give them decent life without others having to pay for the roof over their heads, gas, esb, food, school, laptops, phones, collage, transport, doctors, etc ,! But a serious group of people who live off the backs of the Irish taxpayers know when they have kids and lots of them it's all Free living.

Fine Gael have had 12 years to sort it out. The people have woken up, fine gael have no interest in helping the ordinary working-class person. Looking after the big farmers and such. I believe there should be a land reform where the owners of these lands must be publicized for building of accommodation
0:54 "homelessness is a lot more complex then just building houses" 1:07 "the solution is more supply" The next general election can't come soon enough
He speaks softly and pleasantly but he is the one who privatised the provision of rented accommodation. He is the one who stopped building council housing. His party was part of selling off the thousands upon thousands of surplus houses that we had after the crash, to vulture funds at ten thousand euro each. Houses that are now being rented out at a minimum of eighteen thousand euro for a single year. Meaning that the vulture funds and private investors are making profits of fifty percent. These funds have received profits that have payed for these properties eight to ten times over and most of the rent money paid to these funds is paid by the government as rent subsidies.
Leo said the concrete levy would only impact the cost of new houses. Yeah well the 160 billion borrowed since 2008 was mainly to prop up the cost of existing houses. He must think young people are completely thick.
What about ALL the empty homes around this country … Sitting there idle boarded up and owned by the banks … This is shameful … In any country this is not acceptable … Yeah there’s many reasons WHY there is homelessness It’s called greed … The amount of money sent to the EU each month is beyond comprehension … Having those funds remain within this country could be enough of at least GO a long way toward addressing the crisis … Imagine …. this IS 2022 we have homeless and Starving people living on the streets How can that be acceptable ?????
Too true. That, and the rich landlords buying up houses, then living overseas while they collect peoples money. People deserve affordable housing as a fundamental human right, and Irish housing in the hands of huge corporations and overseas landlords are making it impossible. The supply is there, but the government would much rather listen to big business than the voices of their own people
Over 5 years in Dublin only with him in government and Martin Ryan Labour back up by social party and People before Profit. Over 300 homeless people dieing on our streets in Dublin
Ugh nobody voted for him.... Hung dail... Pandemic... Snuck back in under the guise of a caretaker government... Look back through your notes before spitting venom at your neighbour!
Ireland 2040 is running smoothly I see Leo. Thanks for cramming an island with limited housing forcing the natives and even the foreign nationals to struggle, real cool.
The government in power 11 years show no empathy or imagination how to help families in homeless shelters or hotels or on long council list. Many families are waiting 10 or more years . A government who continously deny, 60.000 plus, on council waiting lists around tge country. These waiting list can identify peoples, who are renting homes that in many case Dail TD's, are themselves are t6he landlords. These along with other landlords are charging rent on par with a mortgage repayment. Yet many renters are denied a mortgage by the central bank. We do not want the 2008 bubble, that this very government denied was happening, until the banks fsiled by incompetent currupt bankers, poor government governance and FRAUD on a scale, it nearly BANKRUPT our country. We the low or middle income earners, are still paying FOR that INCOMPETENCE in a 3 party government. It was on their watch, their lack of oversight, we will continue pay for the theft of 64billion. We are now pay for the panademic that companies are price gouging, yet what is government doing Give our pensioners €12 per week, to the already over priced The government needs to stop these priced gouging companies. Give a couple of extra € extra for fuel allowance that has been eaten up by the first couple of price increases on electricity & gas as well as home heating oil, with more to come,that keep them happy. Goverment pays a small fortune in rent supports nearly €30 million plus last year, yet refuse to build affordable homes or council owned homes. This government continue to deny homelessness children their basic human rights of a secure home. They do not want to know the damage to their sense of self worth children living with homelessness has. Or. how damaging psychology, it is on children without a home. They deny middle-class or even the elderly a home. Yet they promote building homes that are priced out of the ordinary workers income limits. Try buyng a home on €35-40.000, the realistic average wage, Yet monthly rents in many cases cost the same as a mortgage. We are bring in RIGHTLY SO, our share of emigrated families from Ukraine,. Being realistic here, where are the homes for these families and many others in asylum reception centres aroundthe country,. Where do they go? We need council owned homes on the scale to those built after the 2 world war, to free up the lack of homes for those that can afford to purchase one.
Stay where you are and just don't move out. Don't be agressive to landlord-he's selling as the taxes are crazy and it's just a waste of time and energy to stay in this business. But every business, driven very often by just greed is leading to collapse and loses. Anyway, just don't move out. Stay inside, don't open the door. They will not force you. Record everything on camera, stay calm, don't scream. You have a right not te reply, you have a right to use your headphones 24hrs/7 days a week and just not be able to hear that enyone is banging the door. This is the way to fight.

It's just so hard to understand why there's a housing crisis, why they'll never stop pouring concrete over every patch of green countryside until the term 'Emerald Isle' is a grim punchline and why our medical services are stretched to capacity. It'll be a mystery for the ages...
Don't tell that to the 'Nationalist' Mary Lou who will be in power soon. She can't get enough of this stuff, teach them all gaelge, more the merrier. If anyone from 1916 saw what Dublin and Ireland would become. they would have thrown their guns away and went to pub.

The solution is not simply supply. The Government had have continually driven an investor/speculator & developer led housing strategy and policies that are designed to benefit the investor, developers and banks without addressing "affordability" of housing to "purchase" and "own" or to rent. Prices are now above123% above a trough reached in 2013 when Ireland was emerging from an international bailout, Between 2004 and 2019, the number of 25 to 34 year olds who own their own home has halved. They are now trapped in a rental economy where rents are over €2,000 a month. It's very similar to when the market crashed.' The State could have implemented a housing strategy and policies post 2008 to become a mortgage-providing force, to help those otherwise unable to get onto the ladder as part of the bail-out and restructuring. Rather than changing our housing system to provide affordable homes, all you did was reboot the economy for the banks, developers, landlords and investors. You have collectively failed and sacrificed a generation's hope for a home. What we need is competent leadership with joined up thinking who serve the people rather than self-interested career politicians. The record and performance of this Government speaks for itself and not for ordinary people working middle class people being driven into poverty.
Woah that home ownership stat is mind-blowing, even knowing there was a problem. Our government has been shocking, but there is also a global shift in western economies, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of countries with similar trends re: home ownership. Do you happen to know who do we compare to, or are we one of the worst on that stat?
No point in having supply without affordability - affordable housing for all and once you get it, capital gains tax if you try to sell it off - it's the only way to stop people seeing property as a lucrative investment instead of a place to live

And for M.Martin to then publicly deny he was at the meeting as regards joining Nato and that he was meeting with other NON nato leaders who so happened to be in the same building that day.. If this is true then why is he systematically advocating for Ireland to join NATO since the meeting and has gone so far as saying he doesnt even need to hold a referendum to apply. Varadkar has come out a few months ago to say We should join. Those two men are the most dangerous Men this country has ever faced! If we join NATO its curtains for this small country. Our young men and women will be drafted and we cannot afford the soon to be military budget increase. This country has no money for its own citizens, where are we going to find money for NATO

The 200M for Ukraine part is not needed, sorry but it should be for our own people.
Ukranian resources and Irish recources should BOTH be provided.BOTH Ukranians and Irish people should be getting more from the government- one people getting resources isn't an attack on the other people. Politicians WANT us ordinary people angry at each other to distract from the governments failures.
Affordable housing SHOULD be for both Irish AND Ukrainians.
@@MrDoomDawg
I agree that the government wants us turning on one another but at the same time how can we keep taking in refugees if we have no where to put them. It's wrong to tell anybody seeking refugee that they'll be looked after in ireland if they won't be. I believe our government cares more about housing refugees as it'll reflect badly on them globally if they can't. Thats why Irish people get overlooked. If we question this we're called racist, if we accept it, things will only get worse. I think we're all pawns, whether we're irish or Ukrainian in a sick game played by the elites.

Get them out.
800,000 people have come into Ireland over the last 20 years. There is your cause of the housing crisis, yet no one will say it. It is also the reason for long hospital waiting lists and a shortage of school places. We cannot have open borders in Ireland.
So you open to make a deal that all other countries should close its borders to Irish citizens for that very same reason. No one should migrate to any other county and remain where they’re born.
@@stannats2637 So you want more Roma Gypsies, fake African asylum seekers all who take up housing and seem to stay on welfare endlessly. It should be controlled. Do you think someone from Eastern Europe, Africa or other parts of the world get housed before Irish Citizens? We need skilled workers to migrate to Ireland not welfare bums.
@@stannats2637 I don't think it's a case that people shouldn't travel. But you can not bring hundreds of thousands of people into a country this size, no extra hospitals etc. What country in the world ever left there own citizens on the street so as the Irish could go and live there. Everywhere the Irish went they had to battle for everything. We were always told that we couldn't fix our homeless problem. As far back as enda Kenny. Remember a homeless man died on the street outside dail eireann. Which embarrassed them for a bit. But now we can find and build houses for hundreds of thousands, so as our greedy politicians can be big boys in Europe
Don't blame ordinary people trying to make a life for themselves on the failures of your government, thats what politicians want. Blaming each other lets the government get away with it scott free
Globally most countries have a similar story in common. 1% that control politicians/ media / corporations set and control the narrative and pull the strings and when it suits cut the strings of politicians who ultimately have to answer to the 1%, while we throw tomatoes at the puppets to keep us distracted from those in the shadows controlling the worlds wealth. This merry go round will continue whoever is in charge unfortunately.

Because Governments get a money kickback for every refugee. With Ukraine being the most corrupt country in Europe and the money laundering capital of the world a lot of people see it as a huge investment. They play the game and virtue signal that it is all because of the “poor people of Ukraine”. When in reality it is the same as cattle at auction.

Sadly it's not even that hard a question.
We need council houses built it's not the rich on the the street , you need a wage of 100 grand a year to get a mortgage in Dublin
He speaks softly and pleasantly but he is the one who privatised the provision of rented accommodation. He is the one who stopped building council housing. His party was part of selling off the thousands upon thousands of surplus houses that we had after the crash, to vulture funds at ten thousand euro each. Houses that are now being rented out at a minimum of eighteen thousand euro for a single year. Meaning that the vulture funds and private investors are making profits of fifty percent. These funds have received profits that have payed for these properties eight to ten times over and most of the rent money paid to these funds is paid by the government as rent subsidies.
Typical blah blah blah, oh and I hit dislike
me too but didnt register...strange that
Leo said the concrete levy would only impact the cost of new houses. Yeah well the 160 billion borrowed since 2008 was mainly to prop up the cost of existing houses. He must think young people are completely thick.

This is shameful … In any country this is not acceptable … Yeah there’s many reasons WHY there is homelessness
It’s called greed … The amount of money sent to the EU each month is beyond comprehension … Having those funds remain within this country could be enough of at least GO a long way toward addressing the crisis …
Imagine …. this IS 2022 we have homeless and Starving people living on the streets
How can that be acceptable ?????
Too true. That, and the rich landlords buying up houses, then living overseas while they collect peoples money. People deserve affordable housing as a fundamental human right, and Irish housing in the hands of huge corporations and overseas landlords are making it impossible. The supply is there, but the government would much rather listen to big business than the voices of their own people
oh wow, great answer leo, you "hope" rent prices will fall

Lying eyes
The government in power 11 years show no empathy or imagination how to help families in homeless shelters or hotels or on long council list. Many families are waiting 10 or more years . A government who continously deny, 60.000 plus, on council waiting lists around tge country. These waiting list can identify peoples, who are renting homes that in many case Dail TD's, are themselves are t6he landlords. These along with other landlords are charging rent on par with a mortgage repayment. Yet many renters are denied a mortgage by the central bank. We do not want the 2008 bubble, that this very government denied was happening, until the banks fsiled by incompetent currupt bankers, poor government governance and FRAUD on a scale, it nearly BANKRUPT our country. We the low or middle income earners, are still paying FOR that INCOMPETENCE in a 3 party government. It was on their watch, their lack of oversight, we will continue pay for the theft of 64billion. We are now pay for the panademic that companies are price gouging, yet what is government doing Give our pensioners €12 per week, to the already over priced
The government needs to stop these priced gouging companies. Give a couple of extra € extra for fuel allowance that has been eaten up by the first couple of price increases on electricity & gas as well as home heating oil, with more to come,that keep them happy. Goverment pays a small fortune in rent supports nearly €30 million plus last year, yet refuse to build affordable homes or council owned homes. This government continue to deny homelessness children their basic human rights of a secure home. They do not want to know the damage to their sense of self worth children living with homelessness has. Or. how damaging psychology, it is on children without a home. They deny middle-class or even the elderly a home. Yet they promote building homes that are priced out of the ordinary workers income limits. Try buyng a home on €35-40.000, the realistic average wage, Yet monthly rents in many cases cost the same as a mortgage. We are bring in RIGHTLY SO, our share of emigrated families from Ukraine,. Being realistic here, where are the homes for these families and many others in asylum reception centres aroundthe country,. Where do they go? We need council owned homes on the scale to those built after the 2 world war, to free up the lack of homes for those that can afford to purchase one.
So out of touch with normal people

The solution is not simply supply. The Government had have continually driven an investor/speculator & developer led housing strategy and policies that are designed to benefit the investor, developers and banks without addressing "affordability" of housing to "purchase" and "own" or to rent. Prices are now above123% above a trough reached in 2013 when Ireland was emerging from an international bailout, Between 2004 and 2019, the number of 25 to 34 year olds who own their own home has halved. They are now trapped in a rental economy where rents are over €2,000 a month. It's very similar to when the market crashed.' The State could have implemented a housing strategy and policies post 2008 to become a mortgage-providing force, to help those otherwise unable to get onto the ladder as part of the bail-out and restructuring. Rather than changing our housing system to provide affordable homes, all you did was reboot the economy for the banks, developers, landlords and investors. You have collectively failed and sacrificed a generation's hope for a home. What we need is competent leadership with joined up thinking who serve the people rather than self-interested career politicians. The record and performance of this Government speaks for itself and not for ordinary people working middle class people being driven into poverty.
Woah that home ownership stat is mind-blowing, even knowing there was a problem. Our government has been shocking, but there is also a global shift in western economies, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of countries with similar trends re: home ownership. Do you happen to know who do we compare to, or are we one of the worst on that stat?
No point in having supply without affordability - affordable housing for all and once you get it, capital gains tax if you try to sell it off - it's the only way to stop people seeing property as a lucrative investment instead of a place to live
When you understand they're (WEF) moto is " you will own nothing and you will be happy" the penny drops. He is, after all straight out of the Young Global Leaders school of the WEF!
