"The host family thing I think is probably a short-term measure really.
"So what you do in a situation like that is that you reach for the low-hanging fruit: and the low-hanging fruit is existing, unoccupied buildings. "But the really obviously one, because they tend to be in good condition and occupiable straight away, are holiday homes.He says the Government could mandate this under the Emergency Powers Act.
"And one of the things it allows the Government to do is occupy land or property if it needs it for the purposes of the Emergency.
NTBreakfast Completely unconstitutional But don’t let that stop you from printing bullshit 😂

NTBreakfast 'You will own nothing rent everything and be happy' its happening now.
NTBreakfast This government was never able to tackle the housing crisis and now they come up with this 'great' idea. Will they be at least so kind to let us continue to live in our homes?😅
NTBreakfast Sieze the means of production!
NTBreakfast Are all the FineGael and fiannafailparty holiday homes up for grabs too?
NTBreakfast Be careful what you wish for. Spare bedrooms will also be a target
NTBreakfast Sowing the seed that ownership of a home can be withdrawn by the state in emergency. Get support for that now (plenty will want to demonstrate their virtue!) and they’ll soon find an emergency to justify it. Just look at Canada.
NTBreakfast I didn’t know when it will happen but I can see this ending us in one big mess and the Irish won’t be happy when thay realisethay got hoodwinked once again.
NTBreakfast
NTBreakfast Countries gone mad, shambles
NTBreakfast Ridiculous
NTBreakfast People will be paid rent by the government and it won't be forever. Have a heart, imagine it was your children without a home.
NTBreakfast Are they going to take motor homes and caravans also ?
NTBreakfast We’ve had a housing crises for years now, we’ve also had direct provision for other refugees fleeing conflict - if this is possible (and I doubt it is) then why wait for a war in Europe 🤷🏻
NTBreakfast Property confiscation? Will this become the norm, especially if the 39th amendment goes through, where the government shall “delimit the right to private property”? Will these all be owned/managed by the state of foreign REITs?
NTBreakfast I wonder what happens if we enshrine the right to housing in a constitution could they do something similar?TraceyOMahony81
NTBreakfast Glorious 😂
NTBreakfast Enough of the hysteria This isn't going to happen.
NTBreakfast SF won't like that. How many holiday homes are owned by SF/IRA?

NTBreakfast Will all the Minister's give up there 2 or 3 Holiday homes ?
NTBreakfast Why is Newstalk promoting violence against homeowners ?
NTBreakfast MichealMartinTD absolutely no one,including politicians should be allowed own anymore than one home. As it’s a very serious housing crises, bring in law one person one house then everyone will have a home. Greedy bsartards 2/3/4 homes and others struggling to get on ladder.
NTBreakfast Do the right thing MichealMartinTD and get rid of the illegal controversial AirBnB and they’ll be plenty vacant homes then.
NTBreakfast My home and my holiday home and I’ll decide who goes into it. End of.
NTBreakfast Media pushing the seizure of private property ? Jeez the Constitution is proving to be not worth the paper it’s written on .. first holiday homes and then they move on to “under occupied” private homes
