press release
Tuesday January 20, 2004 16:22 by rayo - lp
Labour Party Spokesperson on the Environment, Deputy Eamon Gilmore, has accused the government of “siding with property developers rather than first time house buyers” following the publication of statistics yesterday showing the average house price in Dublin now tops EU 300, 000. Deputy Gilmore commented, “Whilst yesterday’s Housing Statistics Bulletin showed that there is enough zoned land to satisfy housing demand for the next five years in Dublin and seven years nationally, the sad reality is that prospective house buyers are completely priced out of the market by ever-increasing costs. |

over the last 30 years labour have been in government 4 times. why didnt they addess housing problems then?
Labour could have ensured that the economic boom was not disproportianately reflected in house prices.
They chose not to do so because labour representatives overwhelmingly belong the class that has profited from increased house prices.
That's why it is called bourgeois democracy.
And thank God (or Allah) for that.
Those who devour usury will not stand except as stands one whom the devil by his touch has driven to madness.
That is because they say: Trade is like usury: but Allah has permitted trade and forbidden usury....
Allah will deprive usury of all blessing, but will give increase for deeds of charity, for He loves not any ungrateful sinner....
O you who believe, fear Allah and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if you are indeed believers. If you do it not, take notice of war from Allah and His messenger, but if you repent you shall have your capital sums; deal not unjustly, and you shall not be dealt with unjustly. And if the debtor is in difficulty, grant him time tin it is easy for him to repay. But if you remit it by way of charity, that is best for you if you only knew.
[Surah al Baqarah, verse 275-280].
I am fucking sick of this shit
I am leaving Ireland and going to live somewhere else where I am not being ripped off all the fucking time
Housing, a cup of coffee, pints of beer - you name it, its 3 or 4 times more expensive
the banks are laughing
the fat cat property speculators and developers are just getting fatter and fatter
Bertie and Fianna Fail are a mafia
Goodbye!
