There are lots of successful economies that have reasonable rents Mr landlord

Your racist undertones are coming out. Blaming foreigners for coming here and driving up rents.
Your post has allowed the forum to see the footix at its worst. The paperwork in evicting people at Christmas is time consuming. Woe is me

Theyâve made being a landlord far more difficult in the last couple of years with rent pressure zones etc.
Most people seem to bizarrely want to get rid of large scale landlords who are far more easily regulated.

Mostly places line Tokyo and Texas, where their zoning and property laws are far more relaxed.
If we went for that the rate of NIMBYISM (which is incredibly high as is), would go off the chain.
FG wonât get more than one TD in any Dublin Dail constituency next time
Rock will probably lose out in Dublin North West as well
Theyâll get one in Dublin Mid-West but that will be a net loss of two seats on now and three seats on 2016

They could still carry two in DĂșn Laoghaire.
Itâs possible but I doubt it
Greens and FF will probably pick up one each and Boyd Barrett might have enough to hang on
Thatâs would effectively be a loss of two seats because Barrett got in automatically as Ceann Comhairle last time
I think Eoghan Murphy will likely lose out in Dublin Bay South with Kate OâConnell taking the one FG seat there
Neale Richmond will probably replace Josepha Madigan in Dublin Rathdown - Madigan will be depending on a collapse in Shane Rossâs vote, which is possible but not likely
Bar Dublin Mid-West which would only be them regaining the seat lost in the by-election, Fingal is their only hope of picking up one but that looks unlikely
Dublin South West is a possibility Zappone only scraped in the last time
Outside chance but hard to see, that isnât to say Zappone will retain her seat either
I think the Greens could nab a lot of the Fine Gael floating vote all across Dublin
Actually I see Catherine Noone is standing in Dublin Bay North next time alongside Richard Bruton
She will be a stong candidate, she will have a much higher profile than in 2016, herself and Richmond seem to be the coming younger forces in FG
But again itâs hard to see Fine Gael get two here, itâs the biggest bearpit in Ireland
I wonder would she get the one FG seat ahead of Bruton though
Greens tend to do well when economy is strong and add in the climate emergency debate is now front page news I would expect the Greens to gain a number of seats mostly at FG expense in Dublin. Theyâll likely be in Government post election.
Why are you so angry these days?
I think a good few independents will lose out, I would expect the independent tally to be well down
I still donât see how a coalition can be formed without some form of super rainbow involving SF though because the likelihood is still that FG and FF will both end up somewhere in the 45-50 ballpark, my hunch is the combined FG-FF seat total will be slightly up, maybe four or five
So it may well be a continuation of the present situation or FG and FF just trading places
Labour look pretty fucked, Iâm not sure where they can pick up seats if anywhere bar Dublin Bay North and theyâll probably lose some, best case scenario for them looks to be about the same as last time
Brings new meaning to Matty Ice anyway!
Itâs words on a screen. Heâs out drinking pints and gambling before bringing a Chinese takeaway home and drinking in front of the TV.
Thatâs the life afforded to the unwaged by the right wing Fine Gael government.
Pretty much zero enforcement of minimal standards for rented accommodation, pretty much zero enforcement of rules on rent pressure zones or on wrongful evictions, pretty much zero penalties apply for breaching those rules anyway, very minimal controls on rent increases, and all in a market where demand for rentals vastly outweighs supply giving landlords too much power to begin with.

Thatâs more of a reflection on you and your life choices
Iâm at home with my wife and daughter all day watching Harry Potter and eating treats.
Did you forget about their recent increase of mortgage interest relief for landlords?
