On both sides of the Atlantic, people may prefer a Harris to their dangerous alternatives.

Don't worry, the Housing Minister will sort it.....when he's back from his holidays.

Only 5% of visas are for people in construction, that needs to be 50%.

FFG and the Housing Minister need to be serious about this issue.   This is the biggest issue affecting people in Ireland. FFG have done next to nothing during their tenure. 

It's a crisis and needs to be treated liked a crisis, like Covid for example.  During Covid, the government had to be proactive.

Now it's just kicking the can down the road.

Sad for the youn people who have had to move or living with parents etc. A generation lost. For example, the amount of schools who can't get teachers own the east coast, especially Dublin, is shocking.

Given the eye watering overspend of the Childrens Hospital, it shouldn't really come as a surprise, but still, the FFG government he managed to build a bike shelter for 18 bikes at Lenister House at a cost to the public of:

€355,000

They'll have to get very creative to try blaming this one on SF.

[Armagh18]

Must be some bike shelter.

Maybe they could rent it out to people the night of Oasis and get the cost back?

[Snapchap]

For €355,000 you'd think it would be something fairly spectacular alright, but no.

There should be a lot of people with questions to answer there, mainly those who agree contracts and procurement.

They'll still get wet arsed off the seats in that, barely a roof on it

It isn't exactly a gold plated facility, it is only a token roof.

Ya get what vote for... People complaining about change and never change it, the parties that were opposites are now the same and they are still voted in...

Better still the parties that are not in get the same level of criticism 

And people have a cheek to say the States throw up some looneys
