You can call me a crank but this is beyond dispute: Vaccines have led to a literal epidemic of children living long enough for someone to notice they're autistic.

Well if @simonharrisireland.bsky.social is to believed it's because of 'immigrants'.
That's right. 72,000 homes - all ready to be lived in are vacant because people who lived in another country moved to Ireland.
Apparently.

Recent CSO data found 72,000 vacant homes empty, connected to services & ready to go
So why are they still empty?
Record homelessness, children being traumatised
'Cos of ideology
Introducing compulsory rental & sales & custodian squatting would be transformative

Still waiting for Niall or indeed @garda.ie to confirm that citizens' private personal data, submitted during garda vetting is safe and no that data breaches are occurring. The leak during the Presidential election would suggest otherwise.

This week I had a meeting with an amazing advocate who works with a local charity. They don't feel safe publicly criticising government failures because they're applying for government funding to do work the state is failing to do. #spéirgorm
Massively important thread!
The people who fundraise for local initiatives, like a hospice, are energetic, engaged, motivated, if they weren't busy with a local campaign imagine what else they could accomplish? I believe it's a SOP for politicians to keep 'keep them busy', to keep community-minded

You would think that someone with a degree in history would understand that renaming a park cannot and will not erase any history of any community or group, similarly to how the taking down statues of slavers has not erased the history of slavery! #speirgorm
