The government has finally committed to renovating the vacant properties to house families in need. Your efforts brought this crisis to the forefront and forced a necessary change in policy. We will remain vigilant to ensure these units are made habitable and occupied as promised.

Dublin’s housing crisis is more than 1,000% worse than in 2012 and not much is being done to fix this, Get barred up houses sorted out to tackle the rise in families being homeless.




Lets get the Government to wake up! Minister Alan Kelly & Taoiseach Enda Kenny I would like you spend a few nights out with the homeless in Dublin, Or better still I challenge you both stay in the hostels that are a danger for the homeless or place your families into the hotels that your placing Irish families into with the harsh rules that apply.


Please take the time to watch the video to see how bad things are... "Link Below.
