Long mooted, it has become clear in recent weeks that despite all advice to the contrary from International think tanks and anyone with a modicum of sense, Fianna Fail, perhaps aided and abetted by the Green Party are moving closer to rolling out a bailout scheme for their developer buddies. This scheme will be disguised as "assistance" to the low paid, it will be advertised as much needed relief for the First Time Buyer but in reality is nothing but a misuse of Tax Payer's funds and a direct contribution to keeping already too high Property Prices where they are and bailing out the Brown Envelope Brigade, the Developers who have bankrolled FF forever... read full story / add a comment

The following article was written by an Adult Education discussion and research group based in the north inner city. It was a collective effort by Ger, John, Pip, Jonathan Wheelock and Damian. For us it is important to discuss homelessness because it is not just something that we pass by on the streets guiltily ignoring people or handing out a few pence depending on our humour. It is definitely not something we just read about in reports or newspapers- it is a problem that we have or could experience in the future. Everyone in the media talks about the Celtic Tiger but we don’t see it in our areas and we see more people on the streets rather than less and we want to know why. read full story / add a comment

Organisations working with people who are homeless have already begun to feel the pinch of what is effectively a cutback. read full story / add a comment |
