I said some time back that creep from bad parts of Dublin was ensuring that even the pleasant parts were going downhill. This is an example of it. The shanty town has become a permanent feature of Georgian Dublin & there is absolutely nobody in Government doing anything about it.

That will do for starters for my Eurovision shindig. Will be getting a champagne order in shortly. Don't you just love Craft Cocktails? Takes all the stress out of being the hostess. No #Eurovision boycott in my house, looking forward to supporting the Irish entry as we should.
I've had enough of this now. It's become an exercise in the hounding of an individual & a bullying campaign by the supposed caring left. The same thing happened to our entry in 2019 driven by many of the same individuals but at least @rte had the sense not to platform them then.

Week 59: Despite the objection of residents Government has now installed portaloos for the #ShantyTown risking making it a permanent blight on our city. Madness. And while Mount Street is ground zero asylum seeker tents are now popping up across the city centre. No one in charge.
I suppose these artists are going to pay Bambie's rent in London and keep them in food and clothes for the year? Because Eurovision will. That's very poor form by Erica-Cody. Very poor indeed.

Week 59: the #ShantyTown has arrived at FF HQ. Next week it'll be at the Maternity Hospital. Local shops and restaurants being put out of business. Local residents surrounded in their homes. 150 tents, hundreds of asylum seekers on the streets. Still no response from Government.
I couldn't get through the new Taylor album which is a first for me. How strange the more famous and successful she gets the worse the music is getting. Midnights seems like a bit of masterpiece compared to this which sounds like a double album of Evermore. Very underwhelming.
Currently in the Brazilian city Goiania The absolute scale of residential construction is off the charts. 30-50 stories with hundreds of units for singles & families. What is stopping us from doing this? Oh yes, DCC, NIMBYs, Judicial Reviews and poor value for money in general.
I have an opinion piece in today's Irish Independent on the urgent need to deal with the growing crisis on Mount Street. Kevin Byrne: Mount Street’s ‘shanty town’ is an appalling blight on Dublin, and calamity awaits if Government continues to ignore it independent.ie/opinion/commen…
I'm giving this a cautious welcome as I want to give @SimonHarrisTD chance to get measures like this off the ground. However, I'd be able to tell him the issues Dublin faces in 15 minutes over a cup of tea & a kit kat. Moreover, my advice is of no cost to the taxpayer 😇

We have too many criminals on the streets with 200+ convictions or people like him, oddballs out after a meagre period inside. We're soft. I'll vote for whoever can show me they're serious about proper law & order. This is why McEntee is unpopular rte.ie/news/courts/20… via @rte
Is it any wonder Sinn Féin are declining in popularity? People who aren't happy with the Government should be able to turn to the opposition for common sense. Instead, our main opposition party is of the belief that building more housing exacerbates the housing crisis. Useless.

Love how our acute NIMBY problem has mainstreamed & everyone can see the issue that's been ignored for years. Call it out not long ago & you were called a right wing ideologue. Same as law & order,same as woeful border management. How about we address problems from their genesis?

In an admission of how badly situation at the IPO has deteriorated Govt is now directing some asylum seekers to another location. Given IPO can clearly no longer safely operate from Mount Street ALL asylum seekers should be directed elsewhere til site is cleared & order restored.

Please fix this @DubCityCouncil
Important interview with resident living right next to the squalid tent encampment at the IPO on Lower Mount St. Sympathetic, but making clear this is no place for 100 tents & despairing of no authorities taking responsibility (full interview from 1h39m) rte.ie/radio/radio1/d…
It is very early days but new DCC CEO Richard Shakespeare appears to be good news for Dublin. Saying all the same things publicly that Dubliners have been saying for years but were shouted down, gaslit and told that every city was as bad.
This is promising from the new Chief Executive of Dublin City Council. The simple fact of acknowledging the problems with inadequate policing, flimsy on-street bin bags, transport capacity and housing output is a start. Has been too much denial in past. Now let's see improvements

This distressing letter from residents living beside the chaotic & evergrowing tent encampment at the IPO shows complete dereliction of duty by Govt. While there is sympathy for the men there this has gone on for 12mths & the impact on local residents & businesses is intolerable.

@rtenews The group claims that it has been "ignored" by Dublin County Council, IPAS, Minister for Integration Roderic O’Gorman and gardaí. Yes this is correct. Everyone saying it is another department or someone else’s problem. All watery responses and nobody is owning it or actioning it

Was very happy to sign this Residents' Network statement as Chair of @sgcra. While it shouldn't have come to this I'm very proud of how inner city residents and businesses have come together in the face of this untenable situation.

@gavinjdaly @DaveyDonn And as for adding another 1 million non-nationals to the population as a strategic plan, I'd be very wary of how popular it would be.
@gavinjdaly @DaveyDonn As of today we have 26k IPAs (60-70% are economic migrants) and 110k Ukrainians. That's 2.7% of our population. Non-eu skilled migrants arrive on work sponsored Visas I assume, so they're a different category.
@gavinjdaly @DaveyDonn Immigration has topped polls of voter issues for over 18months. It'd a brave party going into an election not having a stringent policy proposal. And for clarity, we're not talking about movement between EU states, its non-EU migration, particularly economic migrants.
@UKBackintheDay2 That cardboard cut out was hilarious
@gavinjdaly @DaveyDonn Whatever your personal thoughts are of off-shoring, it's increasingly likely the UK and Ireland will eventually have the same asylum processing plans. The current system s about to die a death!

@DaveyDonn I completely agree but the sad thing is that that’s the least of this generation’s concerns in the context of their ability to navigate their futures.
@davecoughlan80 In fairness, after a bit of digging I’ve discovered the provost seems hyper woke also so they’re all cannibalising each other at this stage. It was always going to happen.
@paulied1983 Students protest...they always have and always will. But there's something different about this TCDSU cohort....they're exceptionally militant and willing to sacrifice their reputation and education on (checks notes) 2% increase in 1 yr Masters fees. Strikes me as odd.
I’m actually gobsmacked that an email like that even had to be sent out in the first place. The hyper privilege and entitlement is staggering.
Bizarre and possibly defamatory email from TCD provost Linda Doyle to the entire student cohort. Clearly designed to produce a chilling effect - hopefully it leads to backlash instead. Students and staff must speak up and ensure TCD does not bring Columbia’s tactics to Ireland.
@roryosul @LindaDoyle @LaciCloud @PWO_TCD @PWO_Ireland I hope that you’re not studying law. Nothing defamatory, just a statement of facts.
@roryosul @LindaDoyle @LaciCloud @PWO_TCD @PWO_Ireland Rory it's not defamation. The Provost quoted the SU email which to me reads as blackmail.
@roryosul @LindaDoyle @LaciCloud @PWO_TCD @PWO_Ireland There’s nothing defamatory here. She lays out very clearly how protests are fine but actual threats are not. A difference you could all do with learning the meaning of. Many people would support your reasoning, but your methods are flawed.
@roryosul @LindaDoyle @LaciCloud @PWO_TCD @PWO_Ireland I am not seeing the defamation at all as she merely refers to your stated intentions in quotes and the rules and then her reasoning. I think she is perfectly entitled and indeed duty bound to warn you in this manner. The student union do not run the university although they may…
@gavinjdaly @DaveyDonn Australia has been off shoring for over a decade. And surely the purpose is to provide only safe refuge to asylum seekers.
