It's a shame these shelters are being abused by folk playing the system. The same occurs with the one on Clonliffe Ave, folk who live in their parents' gaffs just going to sleep there (by taxi, I might add) to increase their chances of getting a corpo gaff of their own... while others sleeping in doorways up above in the city genuinely have nowhere to turn.

I agree but what pisses me off even more is , somebody goes out to work every day for 40 years to pay off a mortgage, and a house on their road becomes available and D C C buy it and give it to sone family for nothing . That's hardly fair, and I have see it happen

They shouldn't have sold the housing stock in the first place. Thatcherism at it's best.

... and that's why we now have no housing for those who can't afford to buy privately.

And what did parents do with the money saved on a differential loan, put it away for third level education, save for a pension, build a  deposit for their kids first home?
Nope, they probably drank it .
I guess they want virtually free housing for the feckless sprog who wouldn't buy a rubber Johnny.
