The tech companies are here for our water for cooling for their data centres. Of course we don’t charge them for that either. We’re afraid of our lives to collect any of those eggs. Even when the EU takes the eggs off the chicken and gives them to us.
Why should anyone take any of your posts seriously when you present such specious reasoning as fact? It’s constant.
Carry on away there making up your own things that other people say to respond to and facts to suit your arguments in response to things no one said.

Do commercial companies not get charged for water? I was under the impression that large water users, Intel for example, are charged
Ah that’s brilliant

The tech companies are in Ireland because it is a business friendly environment relative to most locations in Europe. Socialists like yourself would love to drive them out resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of well paying jobs and a disastrous recession.
The Apple tax referenced here belongs to the US where it will ultimately end up after the lawyers are done haggling.
I heard the 52 for dublin on a radio show recently they were quoting focus ireland saying there was a large reduction in the last year and that nearly all rough sleepers were now doing so by choice. But then the shelters can be dangerous for some. A few harmless SF fans have attacked the number, of course, obviously without giving their own number or any facts.
But we can safely say its not ten thousand. That sounds great on twitter though.
Funny seeing @tallback @Tim_Riggins & @padjo still using the term social housing rather than public housing

There’s nothing made up there.
You don’t ever respond with facts, just abuse.
Again, I am all in favour of more social housing, but it is not as easy as people make it sound.
This is not the 1930s to 1960s where Labour was less regulated and standards were lower. This is not a time where we thought the motor car could solve all and we could build mass estates in the suburbs.
Housing is expensive and needs good consideration. I absolutely agree that it is not acceptable for children to grow up in hotels, but we need to build a proper long term housing policy.
Less shrieking please.

And all of these various charities receive 10s if millions in funding.
So nobody knows how many actual homeless there are, but @glasagusban thinks we should build tens of thousands of houses for them.
Sounds like an Irish solution to an Irish problem.
They can build those centres without employees.
How boring.
You taken one development and costed it per unit and represented that the cost of any other unit the state builds elsewhere will be the same.
They get charged a small amount. We give them clean water that we don’t need to.

That’s fair.
But it’s a good question.
Why does it cost that much? This is a recent development, not some 2013 one in Finglas like many studies cite.
Of course the answer people say is that we should set up a state agency to build.
And efficiency will be through larger scale (see my point above).
CIF rates are CIF rates. How do we get by that?
Outstanding effort.

A very quick scan of the article you posted the link to says:
Extensive Georgian basements on the site would require “archaeological resolution” prior to excavation, the council said. It was also a requirement of the development that the Luas remains operational during construction.
Suggesting any other unit built will cost the same, as you did, is specious reasoning.
Eamonn Ryan hates the poor mate. He wants more subsidies for his bike shop and free Heineken Cup for his family to watch enshrined into law. He is no friend or the working class.
