As our Government decide to go all in on attacking immigrants because far right rioters asked them to, we have over 5000 children homeless now, a number that only ever moves upwards.

5238 kids having their childhoods torn away.

Less than a week after getting hammered by the left in an election, the Taoiseach is on about offshore deportation hubs for asylum seekers.

And he can't back down on this, cause he can't be seen to be softer on migration than the man who wants to replace him, Jim O'Callaghan

‘Disappointing’ is a very polite way of putting it.
‘Brazenly cynical and callous’, I’d call it. I just wish they’d drop the hypocrisy and acknowledge that mass homelessness is policy.

Or, in most cases, how SLOW.

What appear to be short term financial savings by providing inadequate public services, lead to broader, longer term, economic impacts which will cause more pain & suffering; & also cost more & take longer to fix.

Financial saving in government is often an illusion.

Way to go dismissing the traumatising effect #homelessness has on children🤦🏽‍♀️

#FFFG have sown the wind & we will reap the whirlwind of traumatised people for generations to come.
With a new, trauma-informed president, perhaps gov. negligence will stop?

The President-elect Catherine Connolly addressing the extension of voting rights for Irish citizens living in Derry in June. "The strongest emotional feeling I had crossing over was that we had literally cut off our right arm with NI. It is time to have a realistic timescale for a united Ireland."
