There are thousands of families in Dublin living in conditions of severe overcrowding - the worst case I've come across was 14 people living in a 2-bed flat, writes Críona Ní Dhálaigh.

Fine Gael, the rich-man's party. They need a good taste of poverty & personal lack. They have sowed against the poor & vulnerable of this country & they will reap!

louiseSatoshi What so give them all a free house? Free houses should never be as good as paid for houses. Ppl who paid DESERVE a better house than those who didn’t pay. This socialist idea of everyone getting the same conditions whether you pay or not is unacceptable

We live in a 90sq meter three bedroom house. There’s six of us and my three sons are in one room. They’re aged 24, 17 and 9. And before anyone says that the eldest should move out, his entire monthly wage wouldn’t cover rent.

Theres another 1 million tenants heading irelands way very soon,ask the eu where the housing to accomadate them is coming from...whos paying for it?

When standards of rooms to rent were lowered to encourage vacant spaces to be used, it legislated for tenements. There are 4-6 to a room, paying c.€350 each – upwards of €1400 per ROOM for landlord. This crap is legislated for. Again, 36% FG TDs are landlords.

shameful!!

were they Irish ?
