I took this Dublin photo in 2023 They're next to a Pheonix Park entrance Empty since '80s Owned by state body CIE Only on derelict register since 2019 Still not being charged 7% levies Digest that Dereliction is down to policy Been too long culturally accepted #DerelictIreland
And the absolutely DEPRESSING thing is, they know if they keep clubbing together, they will have Government wrapped up for ever more. They can pretty much DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, promise the world, DELIVER NOTHING & getaway with it, IF PEOPLE KEEP VOTING THE WAY THEY DO
BS Whos going to enforce this? And the ongoing genocide in Gaza shows international law means nothing nowadays

These 10 homes in Carrignavar near Cork City have been abandoned since 2009 because of water infrastructure Yep, 16 years trying to connect water in a housing emergency Housing is number 1 priority It is yeah #DerelictIreland
I took this in Dublin last October Nobody should be without a home in Ireland We have enough homes for everyone laying empty across the country We just don't have the political will to change things as there is far too much money to be made in land speculation #DerelictIreland
A wall of #DerelictIreland follows all the way up to the Model #Sligo Maybe they could be living installations of decay?
Imagine it... Walking through town to the local art gallery and this is what you see #DerelictIreland all in a row @sligococo don't have them on their derelict site levy as required by law
Great to see @DonegalCouncil still has highest number of applications in Ireland for Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant scheme designed to bring #derelictireland buildings back to use. By end of June, they received 1,247, of which 922 have been approved. tinyurl.com/45y98e8r
More funding to slip through the hands of @sligococo €8450 #DerelictIreland levy collected since 1991. Imagine not paying any other tax for over 30 years?!
Maybe if @sligococo enforced #derelictireland site levy they would at least be doing a bare minimum. Instead they collected €8450 out of €84000 supposed to be collected in 2024 And € ZERO before that
The National Transport Authority is now fining Dublin Bus for buses being 'on time'.
#Ireland the land of lies, untruths & misinformation. The subtleties of greed, bad policy & egotistical beliefs are unravelling society. Drinking water even is not safe! @anoisagency @codohertynews @conor_pope @FIEIRELAND x.com/FineGael/statu…
Wow Who would have thought putting up the price of everything increases your profits Zero concern for the workers & customer suffering as a result Greed rules
The British Army base that flies daily from Cyprus over the Genocide. British PMs words...
Is there a new tactic?: Tart them up a bit to deflect outrage and possible fines. Then leave them.

These buildings have been empty for years. This is a result of #DerelictIreland. They only got a new coat of paint when Biden visited. #Ballina
Ballina IPAS Centre Tonight
Fukjn hell All roads lead to #DerelictIreland and @GovIE want to build more roads
Fine Gael wants to build a better Ireland. Today, we have announced a once-in-a-generation plan to transform our country.
#DerelictIreland buildings are a greater risk of fire particularly arson than those in every day use as what happened with this historic building in Lurgan, Co. Armagh. tinyurl.com/2k4enhcc
🤬🤬🤬 CIE? When you walk past derelict sites long enough you can forget how truly shamefully criminal it is
Another frustrating example @DublinCity

I fear it is. My concern is that the damage will be far worse than the 2008 crash. Dublin average house price €603,453, October 2024 Dublin median wage €41,272, September 2024 14.6 times average income 2006 Dublin average house €368,576, average income €37,200. 9.91 to 1
