I donāt have anything against the McVerry trust and Iām sure they do fantastic work tackling homelessness.
My problem is with them paying someone 90k a year and then going out and asking people for more money. Thatās my problem. The money they are getting off hard working people who are probably just keeping their own heads above water is going to pay some fat cat instead of going into the charities cause.
I donāt think it was misleading at all. It was in relation to the current homeless occupants of the building, a number comfortably within the capacity of DCC hostel spaces.
Wages in the Trust are tied to the equivalent in the hse. And rightly so. Same with all the homeless charities.
Well itās a dry hostel for one. And they have single rooms in it. So pretty attractive option Iād guess.
Bizarre stance you are taking IMO. If you pay someone 90k to run the charity and they fundraise 5 million more than a part time volunteer would then itās justified surely (just to make an extreme example).
Huge amount goes into running a charity, fundraising, efficient distribution of resources, management of large volumes of volunteers etc etc Iād say it takes huge level of expertise.
It can go wrong obviously and some terrible recent examples where it has. But they are the exception rather than the rule.
I agree with this. It shouldnāt. But successive governments have been delighted to abdicate their responsibility
Interesting that it was directly contradicting Fr McVerry himself. Wonder will he stick to his guns today
Are those hostel spaces drug and alcohol free and are they single rooms and rooms that can accommodate couples or are they just saying you have x bodies and we have x beds?
This is a great cause and is gaining significant traction on the various social media platforms, this is something I want to be part of, but more importantly I want to be seen to be part of, fair play to Glen Hansard
Sometimes we need a revelation
Sometimes itās all too much to take, yeahā¦
" Your support at the Courts today from 10am would be very much appreciated.
If you canāt be there in person, please support online with posts, tweets, messages - use #homesweethome or #endhomlessnessnow - share your voice in any way to help people take notice that what has been done here has made a difference or had an effect in how you think of homelessness and what people can do.
Apollo House believes this public support has not only turned the building into a symbol of resistance to the housing crisis and its causes, but has drawn on years of work done by different communities to light the spark of a major housing movement in this country.
All at Apollo House call on everyone who resists this crisis to stand with them today at 10.30am outside Dublinās High Court. "
FUCKIN SCUM! 
The problem is Juhy, and what you are saying in principal is right, most of these CEOās are fucking chancers who couldnāt get in anywhere else or they pulled a few strokes to get in there.
Its the quality of oerson that most annoys people.
some Kev, the likes of Angela Kerins or Paul Kelly. Most of them are not chancers, most are working in businesses that have to deal with vast sums of money and need to run it like a business. There are far more working for less than they would get elsewhere, going on doing their work and not creating any scandals. It shown that every charity suffers with the likes of a Rehab/CRC/Console scandal. There are far more charities out there than them, but they all get stuck under the same stigma like yours above.
back home in QLD , people working in charities get āsalary sacrificeā tax breaks so charities donāt have to overpay people and can pay what they can afford.
In Oireland, The horse racing industry gets tax breaks
madness
The big earners i am talking about. The 100k+'s.
Who in that bracket is āworthā it?
They are in their fuck. They wrangle their way in.
Of course there are good people. Adi roche does it for 0. As an example
Word
Judge grants an injunction anyway today but puts stay on it till Jan 11th. Exactly result all expected and wanted Iād imagine. No chance the reciever wanted them out before Xmas.
