Call it the âBallad of HBVâ? *
*Iâd say youâre probably not a child rapist as such but I doubt you get ID from all the hookers so who knows?
Glen Hansard helped me out once, mighty sound man, I donât like to talk of it.
A statement from the Whereâs My Free House Brigade whoâve taken over a property owned by Pat OâDonnell (Clare Sponsor)
"STATEMENT FROM SUMMERHILL OCCUPATION:
What:
35 Summerhill Parade is a property owned by Pat and PJ OâDonnell (owners of POD, and sponsors of the Clare GAA team). This house is part of a cluster of properties on Summerhill Parade owned by the OâDonnell family. All properties had similar issues with overcrowding, poor conditions and dodgy cash in-hand dealings. A total of 120 tenants lived between the five properties, each paying between âŹ350-âŹ450 for a bed in a room of 6-8 people. In May, a mass eviction occurred between the five properties resulting in these 120 tenants being illegally evicted over the duration of a week.
The OâDonnellâs bought Aldborough House, a derelict Georgian mansion, in 2016 and have recently got approval to develop this site into office spaces. No consideration was given for the local community and their needs in these plans. There have been push from the owners to create slum conditions in the area as a means to run housing prices down and buy up bargain properties to redevelop - after all, the workers in the OâDonnellâs new, plush office spaces are going to need equally plush places to live. Itâs a fine example of gentrification in action.
Since the evictions in May, these properties have sat empty while the housing crisis worsens.
Housing and community activists today have occupied the property of Summerhill Parade because enough is enough, Pat OâDonnell should not be allowed sit on these potential homes.
Rent hikes, evictions, poor housing conditions; people stuck in overcrowded homes, living in bunkbeds, or packed into their relativeâs homes; people couch-surfing, sleeping rough, living in hostels, hotels and direct provision - we hear about these horrendous situations every day now, we all know somebody who is affected. And yet, those in power sit on their hands. There is no political will to make real, meaningful change to our housing crisis.
Our immediate demand:
Is that the houses owned by Pat OâDonnell on Summerhill Parade be compulsory purchased by Dublin City Council and given to the local community. We want to highlight that private, vacant properties can, and should be put into public ownership.
All vacant land and properties should be put under public ownership for.
We call for people to take action and get involved in the housing movement, a wider demand of homes for all. Those interested in setting up similar occupations, please get in touch with the page.
The housing crisis is not a natural disaster; we do not need to accept that this is simply the way it is. But things wonât get better on their own - action is needed, by people and for people."
Why do they all have the same rubber heads and quiff footballer haircuts?

So itâs grand for greedy cunts to cram people in to a shithole and take their money ( did they pay tax on the income I wonder⌠like fuck they did) while waiting on planning then fuck them out on the street when it comes through. All in the name of a quick buck. Two minutes on daft will show ye the shitholes people are expected to fork over an arm and a leg to live in. The going rate for a bed in a shed in someones back yard is around a grand a month now. And itâs a few protesters that are the problem! Right so!
