Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said that while a third of the housing budget wasn't spent, there is"no lack of political will" to end the housing crisis.today reported that €476 million of spending planned for the first nine months of this year went unused., the Tánaiste said that the year is"not over yet" and that more of the housing budget will be spent before the new year.
The Tánaiste acknowledged that the underspend"looks very large", but he expects the figure to be"a lot less" by the end of the year.Presenter Gavan Reilly asked about the efficacy of the state's budgetting when it hasn't spent near the amount it forecasted. "If a project gets delayed by a few weeks even, the project can fall into the next quarter", he said.
12 years on and the same bullshit and certain people still believe. Surely he also blamed it on SF
Lying b******
The same government who tried to hoodwink those affected by defective concrete blocks when they drew up their fraudulent protocol known as IS465. Gangsters in suits.
The main constraints are bringing 60,000 people into a country to look good at the EU big table when it doesn’t have the infrastructure to manage half that 🤪
'political won't'
12 years you’ve had a chance The only constraint is your party’s mediocrity !
Translation: the main constraints are corruption and nepotism
The constraints to tackling housing issues are that your government are bringing in 1000s of foreign nationals to our country who are presenting as refugees. You need to house our people first and stop looking after the rest of Europe and Africa
Ideology is his problem
Blue is actually blue but it’s red when I say it is.
Of all things to say he said this. Why? Because that's exactly what the issue is and he knows it. Lack of political will is the problem with all the crisis we have. FG ideology of privatisation & capitalism combined with their ongoing corruption & cronyism are the causes
We all see the amount of derelict houses around the country.
Close our boarders and send all the scammers home. Housing crisis solved
Like your policies..
ESB office in East Wall? Seems there was plenty of money available to kit that out for the bus loads of young, healthy, eastern looking men (no women or children 🤔) who arrived this weekend.
Translation: 'There is no lack of anxiety that SF will sweep the boards in 2024 solely on the housing issue that we had ample opportunity to address years ago, but completely failed to because we put the interests of landlords and REITs over our own people.'
Still telling porkies.
Money should be given back to the exchequer. It's clearly not need.
How much of that went into the East Wall ESB 'refugee' centre that was filled with bus loads of eastern looking young healthy men this weekend? Remember Apollo House?
Will is no good on its own. You also need effort and hard work.

Shameful government
A charlatan this fella! This while government is easily the worst one we've ever had, and that takes some beating
Wanker
Ok Leo For the next 6 to 9 months you could approve, all current rough sleepers with an Irish/EU passport to avail of exactly the same process as Ukranian refugees, exactly the same supports... Put up or shut up
...for Ukrainians.
