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. It is shameful to see Garda Terrace: a two-storey, red-brick terrace inside the Phoenix Park, on North Road beside the An Garda Síochána headquarters. Built in the 1880s as married quarters for the Royal Irish Constabulary, and later used by An Garda Síochána, it is divided into 12 flats. Although a protected structure, it has steadily fallen into disuse: as of mid-2025, only two of the 12 flats were occupied, with the remainder boarded up. Owned by the Office of Public Works, it is a prominent example of long-term, State-owned residential vacancy amid a housing crisis.

Amid a housing crisis, it is shameful to see the Constable’s Lodge, owned by the OPW, lying vacant. This protected, detached, two-storey former park constable’s lodge is located off the North Road, south-east of Phoenix Park School, Dublin 8. It was built in 1872–77 to designs by Enoch Trevor Owen.

This is the Airbus C295 that 🇮🇪 should have purchased. Equipped for an anti-submarine role and armed. Why did we purchase a less capable aircraft? @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD @IRLDeptDefence

The 🇮🇪 government needs to accelerate efforts to address the crisis in the @defenceforces. By getting vessels back to sea, by improving the capabilities of the @naval_service and by working alongside others, security and defence can be improved. It's time to fix defence.

Dear me, what have those scamps been up to? A case of high jinks, I’m sure!

RT @roy_kinsella: Signage back again

England needs this commitment.

Thank you to those involved in making the above happen! 🫡 ☘️🇮🇪☘️
