International Children Day with Polish Railways June 1st: FREE travel for kids under 16. Colouring books in commuters. What about Irish kids in Ireland Iarnród Éireann ?

Massive thanks to everyone for the brilliant support & engagement with our art installations & residency activities, Jude & I've been overwhelmed
It is clear the people of Cork (& across Ireland) want change now 🙏

#DerelictIreland #RestPlayWork #ProtestArt #HousingCrisis

4,206 children are officially without a home in Ireland
I repeat
4,206 children are officially without a home in Ireland
Yet
166,000 empty homes in our last census

Don't tell me this isn't state manufactured

#DerelictIreland #everyoneshouldhaveahome

More than shameful
Its a social crime
Successive governments deliberately broke social contract
In a country full of vacant & derelict homes
This is utter vandalism

#DerelictIreland

''Shameful': Number of homeless people surpasses 14,000 for first time'

If our art exhibition has shown us anything its that people love their city & love to share thoughts on it by writing (with chalk) on walls
Exhibition is closed from this evening until Tues but plenty more time to visit & contribute until 22nd June #DerelictIreland #ProtestArt

People's frustration with landlords is something that has come up consistently in the notes chalked on Jude Sherry & my #DerelictIreland art exhibition at Dance Cork Firkin Crane
It's time to put homes for everyone before profit, hoarding & dereliction
We have the homes
We need the will 🙏

#DerelictIreland

Tune in NOW to hear the great work and many concerns from Sligo Housing & Frank O'Connor
#DerelictIreland

It's good & bad that #DerelictIreland is on media every week
Good that its getting attention
Bad that its still such a problem in our worst housing emergency when we have the solutions but not the political will
Our director Frank O'Connor will join this latest discussion at 12👇

Acknowledge some optimism BUT-When grass roots activists make enough valid and clear points long enough slower politicians eventually adopt the desired outcomes in their manifestos but how much longer do we have to wait for real action?

Geat to see hard work of
#DerelictIreland paying off
Citizens can change the country

Great to see Cork finally using funding to tackle dereliction

€23.3k per home
'Cork to get almost 600 homes through €14m urban funding'

With a week to go until the Irish Local Elections
Here is a reminder what councils can do to end #DerelictIreland #localelection2024

Yes, dereliction is now an election issue

'The 15 candidates vying for votes on June 7 can expect dereliction, city centre safety, policing, and flood defences to be among the hot topics over the next term of council'
