The rally is organised by the 'Raise the Roof' housing campaign group, which is comprised of trade unions, housing and homeless agencies, women’s groups, political parties, representatives of older people, children’s advocacy groups, community organisations, student unions, traveller groups and academics.
Protesters gathering here in Parnell square in Dublin preparing to march through the city to demand Government action on housing pic.twitter.com/JpELsuFSKw "The housing crisis is the most important issue that the trade union movement is campaigning on at the moment," Mr Reidy said. Green Party TD Steven Matthews said that"large-scale peaceful protests" generate action, but he also defended how the Government is tackling the housing crisis.
"Their plan is not working and people would not be on the streets today if they felt the plan was working." Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien said yesterday's figures were of"grave concern" and that Government needed to"redouble its efforts" to increase social housing supply.
Establishment sponsorship
Just move out of Dublin. You can collect your dole in any post office in the country.
FFFG must step down !!! They fail the country and their citizens !!! They done nothing to country since joining EU !!! Only destruction and nothing else !!! Ireland need Icelandic revolution from 2008 and leave EU now !!! EU is like cancer to Ireland !
Managed opposition
'Providing housing' is not the job of a state.
Protests should be at the airports! EastWall
Women are afraid Now! Why are bus loads off young people been flew into Ireland during the night..omg Carrickfergus Tonight a little child was nearly Taken!!
It was a rally organised by socialists who want to steal things people have earned.
Organisers are government 🤡
Homes for All-once you’re not Irish And if you’re Irish they aim to take your house off you with this Right to housing bill and give it to an Algerian who ‘lost’ his passport after boarding a flight to Ireland Stay away from these frauds pretending they’re on our side-TRAITORS
disgraceful behavior going to drive covid numbers up and we be in lockdown people should be ashamed of themselves.
There was more people at the Meath intermediate final last month and and the rest of the media gave it little or no coverage.
I should be there, everyone homeless now in Ireland this is barbaric of the Irish government
Was horn rimmed Harry OBroin there. The man with a lot to say, but it doesnt include solutions.
When I saw unions, media and politicians involved I knew this was pure pantomime. They themselves are the problem.
Any ideas on where we can get 100,000 or 200,000 building workers? That would add 20/40,000 houses a year. We have a catch up hole of +/- 50,000 new & upgrading of 1,000,000 to comply with global warming requirements. We had 116,000 digning on in September.Can any of those build?
Interesting that these ongoing cost of living / housing marches clearly not resonating with the public. More people in and out of Pennies on O'Connell Street than in the march. We need more homes built but are there new policy proposals or just endlessly noting the problem?
Housing shortage due to immigration insanity.
Circa 500 people! 😉
The right have saying this for years. Now the left tries to capitalise.
House the Irish or house the world. Your choice but you cant do both
Keep building houses seems to be the agreed solution. Well the way things are going we'll need to turn the whole country into a housing estate to house all the immigrants that have been encouraged by goreman to come here on the promise of free housing. How to destroy a country.
That's a tiny crowd. They'd need more than that to lift the roof. Where are all these 11000+ homeless Why weren't those people out demonstrating I just wonder if you discounted everyone that are using every reason under the sun not to take a house. How many homeless then?
black lad at front and refugees welcome signs.. lefty woke brigade trying to create a diversion from the real problems...mass immigration has the country destroyed and on its knees
As a rich prosporus European country we are going to get loads of people coming here....From the EU..Asylum seekers..India the US..Foreign students and Ukraine ...Even with unlimited money no government could build houses for them all....Just the sums don't add up...
Everyone should get everything for nothing, what could go wrong 🙄
All run by the fake opposition parties
The organisers are TDs who voted to close the economy for two years, then voted for higher energy bills and carbon taxes. Oh and they all support infinity immigration into Ireland. This is pantomime. Not a protest. The protest is at EastWall IrelandisFull
The elephant in the room is the hundreds of thousands of people arriving into the country every year looking for accommodation.
