Sitting on empty properties is akin to hoarding food in a famine

Brilliant #DerelictIreland awareness-raisers @judesherry.bsky.social and @frankoconnor.bsky.social, among others, have drawn attention to this permissive decay of a city pearl many times. No effect yet, sadly. Re-wilding continues. #CrumblingCork

"It’s dispiriting to move through a Dublin so badly disfigured by dereliction"

It isn't a #HousingCrisis, "crisis" leaves the ones with power to do something about it off the hook. It is a Project and is going as planned. #DerelictIreland

The housing shortage is used by the far-right to scapegoat immigrants (inciting violence!) when in reality this issue is decades old. Soooo many ramifications stem from this cruelty.

Cork City’s derelict buildings reveal true cost of housing inequality

No European city would tolerate the decay and dereliction visible in Dublin.
All of Ireland’s cities and larger towns need positive urban planning. That needs a revolution in government thinking.

Is it true the number of landlords is falling?

"It is clear the overall number of landlords does not appear to be in decline.

However, the gap between the rental properties available and what is needed in the market remains as large as ever."

'In a housing crisis, this government is leaving thousands of buildings to rot'

A grim indictment of Ireland’s political policies is the scale of dereliction of buildings throughout the country, writes Dr Frank O’Connor.

If housing is the election issue then dereliction should be near the top of that list. Irish dereliction is the result of failed political policies, say Jude Sherry and Dr Frank O’Connor. #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #Housing #IrishMasto #Mastodaonie #mastodonie #Ireland

New York Times uses Cork ghost estate to highlight 'broken' Irish housing system

Leaving properties derelict for decades should be a crime against the state. Owners of derelict and vacant properties must either use them or lose them. Implementing a dereliction tax, such as 100% of the property's price paid over five years with an upfront penalty, could significantly change the current status quo. It's worth mentioning that 14,009 people were accessing emergency homeless accommodation by the end of April.

#DerelictIreland Derelict buildings haunting Ireland are "like a disease" - architect Dermot Bannon https://www.rte.ie/lifestyle/living/2024/0121/1427513-dermot-bannon-dereliction-is-kind-of-like-a-disease/

Surely it's possible for the #IrishGovernment to end the housing crisis by a combination of a stonking tax on unused buildings and sites, and a stonking grant to buyers for remaking the same buildings into cosy homes? #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland https://www.google.com/maps/@53.3024285,-8.3176668,3a,75y,44.81h,95.63t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1stKLpoDf_HoMU5kpoANwdGg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

This long derelict building in Skibereen is an unfortunate eyesore that’s surrounded by a lively town, and shops and buildings decorated for the Christmas season. It stands opposite the entrance to the lovely Abbeystrewry Church and nearby Aldi.

I went back in time through Google Street View, and it has been abandoned and derelict since at least 2009! What a waste.

There’s no ceiling on this building. For the younger reader, watch the video below. 🙂

Thirty thousand households in Ireland, or just under one in 10 of every renting household, were evicted in the past three years alone. Do we have a government at all? It's time for a referendum on rent caps https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/dec/11/ireland-housing-crisis-far-right-europe-refugees #DerelictIreland
