Home Sweet Home - Apollo House Takeover

So it’s 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 it’s a few protesters that are the problem! Right so!

Yes, yes they are.

Fair enough.

@alf_stewart

Fair enough.

I don’t think it is the responsibilty or an obligation of the owners of that building to provide housing for anyone. They have obviously gone through a process and obtained planning and legally ended the tenancies of the previous inhabitants.

It never ceases to amaze me that the “look over there, welfare cheat” trick works every time.

Neither do the protestors.

and given to the local community.

What will the local community do with it when they have it? How’s Apollo house doing nowdays?

They surely should be occupying the offices of the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government then.

Storm in a teacup. The summer leave period will be over in 3 weeks and they’ll be all busy back at work.

I imagine their point is that there are derelict buildings lying vacant during a housing crisis. Landlords are using this to inflate their value which is their right. The protestors are saying derelict buildings should be subject to CPO which is within the goverment’s remit. Occupying an empty house is not causing any hassle for anyone, as opposed to taking over an office full of people getting on with their days work.

I don’t think that is likely to happen. Pat O Donnell has been exposed as a slum landlord. People are talking about it. The Protestors have already succeeded in their main objective and fair play to them

I notice you haven’t been using your car.
I want a free car so I’m taking it.

The owners of the building have obtained planning for an office development. I assume the ended the tenancies of the occupants because they now intend to develop it.

They were vacated in May, with planning in to redevelop them. As far as derelict buildings go in Dublin there are far bigger issues.

Although I am a little bit conflicted here, as I do enjoy a Clare supporter being in a spot of difficulty.

Therein lies the problem. Slum landlords being found out and a handy exit strategy facilitated by the planning authorities.

Huh? They bought the building two years ago, I would imagine with a view to developing it, which they are now proceeding with.
The protestors should be occupying the planning offices.

[HBV]

this is not a derelict building, the piece clearly says the owner has taken ownership in the past 2 years and in that time has removed paople from some very very poor living conditions and has plans and approval to develop the building into offices.

there will be work i suspect in the construction process and then office space made available in some shithole area of the inner city where most residents wont work to warm themselves.
The ODonnells are to be commended here, not targeted and abused.

[carryharry]

Would you ever fuck off with this shit.

POD owns the property. He can lodge a planning application if he wants.

What’s stopping all these freeloaders fucking off out of the Dublin Market? Rent is far cheaper elsewhere, it’s not like the cunts have jobs to be going to.

Between this and @Watchyourtoes stealing their flags they are having a tough time lately

I enjoyed the name of the group “Summerhill Occupation”.
The one thing most of Summerhill don’t have.
