Can we even imagine the suicide rates that are coming and have occurred

Very sad if true.
I remember years ago when I did mostly street work driving guys living in council bedsits up around the NCR Phoenix Park end. They used to say they were on the housing list but, because they were single males, they would be officially waiting 14 or 15 years on the housing list before they got a flat. And that was back when bedsits were a thing.

Large % are foreign nationals.
-
I'd hazard a guess they're renting the taxis too - and like accommodation, rent doesn't come cheap.
-
It's a valid strategy IMO and I don't feel too sorry for them.If you're in the system as homeless you get fastracked for social housing as yis all know.Much cheaper to wait for an offer from the corpo, even if it takes a few years being technically homeless than trying it get 300k off the bank for a gaff.
-
The housed homeless are the real problem .Years of paying the same person rent and when they decide or when they die the gaff is sold and you are living in your car or a homeless hostel .Friend of mine rented an appartment in Inchicore for twenty years paid the mortgage for the owner when he died the kids sold it mate moved to Westmeath where he could find something he could afford to rent .

Migrants?

That's an awful lot of absentee fathers.

How come the other 99.998% of the population can house itself?

Has any Mick come up with a package where you can rent a taxi and a mattress? 8)

Doesn't Noel Ebbs offer weekabout on taxi rentals and bedsits? A client was telling me the other week he got a taxi from DAP and when the immigrant driver opened the boot his co-driver was in there sleeping.

If legends are to be believed they stay above on Edmondstown Road.
If it was a "Rale oul Dub" he'd charge at least one Euro for the extra passenger.
