OFF SHORE TAX HAVEN A THIRD of the private asylum accommodation providers earning millions in State contracts are tied to offshore tax havens, the Irish Mail on Sunday can reveal. Twelve of the 37 top-earning companies, which were paid almost a combined €250m last year, are sending profits overseas; while another three in the same top group, paid €60m, were ultimately UK-based. #asylumsystem #HowIrelandWorks

Isn't it amazing the British can arrest a member of the Royal Family and Lord & Lady Donaldson will go on trial, yet here in Ireland we can't get a Civil Servant like Dee Forbes who has mismanaged Taxpayers Money at RTE to answer to an Oireachtas Committee or even a Letter @rte

🚨STATE TO PAY €9,500 AND €4,600 TO ASYLUM-SEEKERS LEFT HOMELESS UPON ARRIVAL IN IRELAND There are literally thousands of Ireland freezing half to death on the streets daily, but in rocks two lads the other side of the world and they get thousands for not being given a roof over their head. This country is beyond broken.

This is not A.I. This is what legacy looks like North Main St Cork citys historic core Heritage buildings date from mid 18thC Vandalised for years while successive Governments & local authorities look other way This street violence of neglect, hoarding & speculation is city wide

Dodgy Statistics If 36,000 new houses were built last year, why were only 58 sold to buyers in Dublin? - ✍️Lorcan Sirr We’ve been here before. Between 2011 and 2017, the Department of Housing knowingly over-counted new housing completions by 58 per cent. A house is counted as new when it is connected to the electricity grid..However, a connection to the electricity grid does not mean a new house is legally ready to occupy. Far from it. Concrete shells with no flooring, kitchens, bathrooms or plastered walls are included in the figures for new homes once they have power. It can easily be six months between connecting a new house or apartment to electricity and it being legal to occupy. As such, it seems many new houses are being forward-counted annually. We’re not back to double-counting new housing as officials did then, but the current method is misleading. In reality, fewer than one in three of all new houses made it to the open market for buyers last year. About one in six were bought by investors, councils and Approved Housing Bodies. #FFG #HousingDisaster #Targets #delivery #HowIrelandWorks #AHB #Investorfunds irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

'The reason that many children may require SNAs in the first place is that they did not get timely access to occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and other supports outside of school that might have helped them manage their needs much better.'
