Frank O'Connor Irish policy making: first denial & minimising scale of problem, health, housing etc. Wow betide those who speaks up. Then dismissal of solutions from civil society. Followed by poor, glacial policy making, until there is a big crisis. Blame civil service as much as politicians

WTF
Another reminder if we needed it that Ireland is full of empty properties that should be homes & community/creative spaces



Around 4,000 properties lying vacant in Sligo

Some people don't even like it when you take pictures of derelict buildings they don't own.
Are we meant to ignore the buildings falling on top of us?

So why wait until now?
Why allow so many people hoard properties for decades while others die on our streets
This government is a bad fu*king joke

And... we're off. Week 102 of my weekly housing crisis protest outside Dáil Éireann at 1pm. Spread the word. Dirty old morning in Cork but the forecast says no rain in Dublin. Everyone Should Have A Home.

A reminder that private electric cars are not sustainable.

Less bad is not good.
Free bikes & free public transport would improve life in Ireland in so many more ways than just reducing climate emissions.
Can we have some real ambition for a change?

Now what could we possibly do with publicly owned vacant buildings on large land masses? shortage?

Frank O'Connor anois Jude Sherry I'm a huge admirer of the Emperor's New School of Architecture.
Sure, it's radical commitment to function following form is controversial but it's adherence to the essence of the material cannot be disputed.
And the light!
Oh such all embracing light.

34 years? What have local authorities/Govt done? The properties on the last totalled 166,000. They’re falling down around us.

The grants introduced lately for doing up empty/derelict buildings aren’t being taken up, there’s something wrong.
