#DerelictIreland

Neglected appreciating assets, instead of homes.

Derelict destitute devastated Ireland. Dejected eyesores, they are public squalor in the cause of private greed.

Until the owners are taxed enough, they will continue to deteriorate causing a danger to the public.

If you're not from here, this is not some moribund area off at the fringes of town, it's one of the main thoroughfares in the city centre. Shoppers and tourists get to look at this every day. It's been like this for decades. This is what sensible politicians with sensible policies have gifted us.

Another destructive system failure with state bodies at centre
Not our job is not a great look when lives are in danger
It was clear from outset agencies involved were going nowhere with this
When will enough failure be enough & we make actual progress?
We all deserve so much better

Q: Why was the person responsible for the Blackwater fish kill never found?

A: it wasn’t anybody’s job.

I talked to the heads of all the agencies involved in the investigation, about why the biggest pollution event in Irish history fell between the cracks.

Cork City Council are not the only local authority to fail so miserably in enforcing Derelict Sites Register for past 35 years
Its been a shambles, everywhere you look you see dereliction
Hence budget switch to a Tax so Revenue can collect & we can finally end #DerelictIreland

At what stage #aras2025 campaign will national media cover this?
Owning 2 derelict flats Heather Humphreys has been central to @finegael.bsky.social ideology that's given us record levels of homelessness, vacant homes & dereliction
But yet @catherinegalway.bsky.social is the problem

Those cracks are carefully crafted to allow polluters to fall into them. That’s not by accident.

Instead of painting false windows & doors on these 2 houses in Chapelizod how about @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social refurbish them into family homes?
There are 6 council owned houses on this terrace alone, thousands across country & they say its a housing emergency

Astonishing that FFG, the conjoined twins party of the landlords, by the landlords, for the landlords would do this. I'm shocked.

Shocked!

10 homes rotting away for over 15 years on outskirts of Cork City but the real problem is developers need tax breaks

An empty property for 14 years, during a housing crisis!? Disgusting 🤢

The Ditch @wereontheditch.bsky.social · 4d

Heather Humphreys won’t say if she paid an anti-vacancy tax on her unused residential property.

Humphreys has left the property unoccupied for the last 14 years, during which time the vacant homes tax was introduced.

Humpheys won’t say if she paid vacant homes tax

She’s left the property unoccupied for more than a decade.
