Simon Covney and Action Plan For Homelessness which was to be published within 100 days of Government being formed. This will now be delayed because “everyone goes on holidays in August”.
Gas shit. Sorry folks, I know you’re homeless but I swear I’ll look after it once I come back from my holliers. It reminds me of this lad.
#Politician in “we lied to the public” scandal
It’s what the cunts do best.
That bird in the hotel was just on rte 1. She hopes to get sorted by July.
She was over giving a speech to the EU commission.
It’s fucking melting outside, they should be glad of the fresh air.
Leo’s Propaganda Machine has gotten the bullet.
Disaster for the opposition - what else can they moan about?
The shortage of available labour because there’s too many people in employment is the only thing left I think. Fianna Fail would sort that problem fairly lively.
This one is interesting. Leo asked the head of the civil service to do a review of the unit. The review is done, discussed at cabinet and the SCU is axed. I highly doubt Leo wanted to see his unit axed. I’d say he is fucking fuming.
Lovely.
It’s odd. There seems to be no end of work about, but I don’t quite get the sense of unbridled wealth that was evident in the early noughties. Is this because there is less money about, it is being spent less conspicuously, or something else?
Wage inflation is starting to hit hard. The shortage of labour is very obvious at the low end of the market
It’s there but with a sense it won’t last forever this time. Having said that the drug dealers and new car dealers are doing a roaring trade so there is a lot of cash floating about.
Cheap finance. Cash is not floating around as much as some would claim.
What wage inflation?
What’s the story with this Harry? I heard from a fella that loads of smaller dealers were finding it very hard to make ends meet and that the big ones have to shift big numbers to stay afloat. Basically margins are being squeezed left right and centre and that the pcp finance is a house of cards waiting to fall down.
All true in certain cases, yes. Not in all.
I’d say it’s more at the low end of the market. There’s plenty of people able to pay for an unsustainable lifestyle through high cost, low capital credit like credit cards but there aren’t the 100% mortgages about to give out the facade that you are a BTL owner who can go on 3 or 4 holidays a year. Plenty of people are living in their own small little credit bubbles, banks are offering those ten a penny.

The cost of living / inflation … there’s jobs but salaries have no risen to meet inflation.
Rents are off the charts, with a shortage of houses … and as I said, the general cost of goods and living has risen but wages havent matched it. Lots of people earning between 30-40k just about surviving, whereas 10/15 years ago they would have been living the life.
Rent in Dublin city up 50% since 2011, wages up 5%. Bananas.
