We scandalously waste what so many people so badly need to survive & thrive, a home & places to play & create
Welcome to #DerelictIreland
State enabled vandalism
Jun 10
This is a derelict eyesore on Russell Street in Dublin City. 🏚️
In the midst of a housing crisis, a record 17,548 people are accessing state-funded emergency accommodation across Ireland, including 11,944 adults and 5,604 children.
The three-storey red-brick buildings at 18 and 18a Russell Street have been derelict for decades, and the adjoining properties have since been demolished.
In my visualisation, the red blocks represent derelict and vacant sites.

"Because without changing how we manage housing data in Ireland, we will continue to run around in circles, getting nowhere closer to filling all the homes in the country and, crucially, ensuring everyone has a home"

Ireland: occupied for centuries by imperial invaders who brutally suppressed their language & identity; endured torture, murder, sexual violence, hunger. They bravely resisted & live free today.
More than anyone in Western Europe, Ireland should understand & stand with Ukraine.

Check out this Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) owned dereliction, rotting since early 90s, as seen on @RTE_PrimeTime
& you wonder why dereliction was normalised before me & @judesherry started #DerelictIreland campaign
This is prime example of state enabled vandalism
Should be homes

This is dangerous
"Me & @judesherry have highlighed this building since 2020 yet all thats happened is a brush of paint to cover over cracks. We have news for you, paint doesn't stop buildings crumbling or passers by getting hurt"
Thanks @corkbeo for covering #derelictireland

An RTÉ Investigates analysis into derelict site registers found that State bodies appear repeatedly. In some cases, this has cost the State hundreds of thousands of euro in derelict sites levies

Astonishing that @darraghmcdonagh is getting backlash for a story of extreme public significance.
You can argue for or against the logic of the protests but when you’re arguing against the truth being published you have left the reservation…

Small towns and rural Ireland badly need Uber. A way to break down isolation and revitalise.

This is big. @CCPCIreland calls for full Uber model to be allowed in Ireland. If enacted, anyone with a car could offer ride-sharing services. No more need for a taxi licence.
