"...... [In Ireland] We have over 160,000 vacant homes, 50,000 of them vacant for six years or more."


This "166,000 #vacant #homes" is a bald faced lie btw

The real number is nowhere near that figure, which Murphy knows, I'm sure.

I looked it up and as I suspected someone has been stretching the truth

That number started off around 90,000 and now astoundingly has been inflated to 166,000

"According to the latest figures, as recorded in the census this year, 166,752 were recorded as vacant in the State – a fall of 9% on 2016 numbers.

The CSO emphasised that the categories for vacancy were broad and not indicative of long-term vacancy.


•35,000 vacant homes were vacant because they were up for rent,

• 27,000 dwellings were empty because the property owners died

• 23,000 were under renovation.


The CSO states that properties that are classed as vacant in the census may only be vacant for a short period of time"

That includes all sort of derelict historical dwellings, empty for years now unlivable, and lots of short term "empty" dwellings, waithing for renovation, or to be sold or have a new tenant.

Knew it was a BS stat.

Interesting how it also grew from 90,000 and uber-inflated to 160,000 in a short space of time

It seems to originate from a Parliamentary question:

"the GeoDirectory Residential Buildings Report states that there are more than 90,000 vacant dwellings across the country"

Murphy admits that 48,000 were empty in the previous census, which would indicate that they are longterm empty and the majority are probably now either derelict, on the way to dereliction, and/or requiring large investment in order to renovate.

Let's say at least 50% (24,000) fall into the above categories,

If you take the 24,000 above and add it to the

• 35,000 vacant homes were vacant because they were up for rent,

• 27,000 dwellings were empty because the property owners died

• 23,000 were under renovation.

You get 109,000.

Subtract that from 166,000 and you're left with a mere 57,000

Which in a country with a 5 million population, and with a total of 2,124,590 permanent dwellings (Census 2022) is A MERE 2.68% OF THE CURRENT HOUSING STOCK

Murphy surely knows all this yet chose to use the most ridiculous interpretation possible of those  numbers, with absolutely no regard for the truth,  like the sociopathic liitle gurrier he truly is

------------------



I'll admit to not considering the issue of overlap concerning those categories and numbers above, because I dont have the data to do so.

Nevertheless my calculations are a far more honest attempt to address this issue than Paul Murphy's, who chose to ignore entirely the existance of any and all relevant data-categories  presumably because they would severely reduce his dishonest headline figure of 166,000

Where are all these vacant houses?
Mostly in rural areas.

Where is the demand?
Urban areas

The son of Mikhail Fridman - Russia's 7th wealthiest oligarch - learns what Russophobia is...

Having made a fortune off Russia but denied any true affiliation to the country, the family has been painted with one brush by Ukraine's authorities.

🤷‍♀ I know it's a tough concept - but you can't have your cake and it eat too, son.

MAINSTREAM MEDIA POSES 'MAJOR THREAT TO DEMOCRACY' ACCORDING TO US POLL

The most recent NYT/Siena poll was a disaster for Democrats - putting Trump ahead of Biden in a hypothetical 2024 match up, caused by a massive swing to the right from independent women.

The poll found that the most important issues are to Americans aren't climate, January 6 or Covid (<.5%). 

The economy and inflation (44% combined vs. 36% in July) featured large in people's list of important issues

The poll asked whether US democracy is "currently under threat" to which 74% of likely voters polled said "Yes!"

The 74% who answered "yes" were asked to rank various people and institutions they considered "threatening".

THE TOP THREAT? 

The mainstream media!

59% said it poses a "major threat to democracy" 

•24% said the MSM poses a 'minor' threat to democracy

and

• a mere 16% said they think it poses no threat at all

🇩🇪⚡️German Soldiers Refuse to Serve Due to Ukraine Situation - Der Spiegel

According to the publication, since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, more and more Bundeswehr soldiers want to quit their service.

“This year, the number of people who refuse to serve for reasons of conscience has grown significantly. The number of failures increased from 209 in 2021 to 810 in the first eight months of 2022,” the German Defense Ministry said in a statement.

The Bundeswehr refrained from commenting on this matter.

“The figures reflect the fears of the Germans about the course of the Bundestag and the military escalation in Ukraine,” said German politician Sevim Dagdelen.
