You obviously have to take the child out in the meantime.

9209

That’s fair enough.

There’s Gary Gannon on The Last Word disagreeing with everything, the government shouldn’t be setting up this new housing unit, the government shouldn’t be changing the asylum process like this. What a tool. :roll_eyes:

Stop spreading Russian disinformation! If it’s not on RTÉ or in the Irish independent it can’t be true

Mick Caul is an absolute fraud, not sure what sharing one of his bullshit tweets prices

9218

Yeah. Mick Caul and Gary Gannon are the story here alright.

‘There are none so blind as those that have absolutely no fucking interest in seeing’.

So what’s going to happen now with this new housing department and why weren’t the opposition complaining when it was in the programme for government?

What suggestions does Gannon have to solve the housing crisis? He seems to just object to everything.

The whole situation is a mess and we’re going round in circles getting nowhere. Maybe the new housing unit could have done something, who knows. It’s likely dead in the water now.

Let’s see what Gannon and Mary Lou etc are bitching and moaning about next.

Some TD was the on the radio yesterday morning and he couldn’t give a straight answer as to what powers the job would have. He used loads of buzz words though like “breaking down silos” “getting boots on the ground” “clearing roadblocks”.

They know what the issues are, just call in the heads of departments and semi states and tell them do their job.

If there’s one thing Civil Servants hate more than the private sector it’s Civil Servants in other departments.

The new Tzar is going to kick down doors.

Also I think people would have far less issue with the big salary if it was targets based. Let him have some proper skin in the games.

9224

Was this role mentioned at all during the general election campaign?

Or inserted into the programme for government afterwards?

Was it even in the programme for government?

9225

I saw someone claim Sinn Fein proposed it during the campaign, but they are denying that now😀

9226

I can’t understand why we need someone with more than twice the salary of secretary general. Or what powers they’d invest in this unit. If they treated the issue as emergency as they did with covid then surely this shouldn’t be necessary. We must be near a decade on from varadkar saying homelessness is an emergency now.

It’s absolutely nonsense.
The TD being interviewed listed all the roadblocks. The majority are within the power of Government to solve. Go and do it.
