Hi Ken.
Just want to say well done to you and all your minions...on your trips to Dublin to help the homeless..you are a great inspiration to all. I had planned to go and help but it didn't work out for me. I really want to be there this coming Friday and will make every effort to be there to help out in any way I can. I cant sit back anymore...because its getting to me how this country is treating people...I want to offer a safe haven for a genuine homeless family for this xmas...with young kids hoping/expecting Santa to come. What I'm offering is a house...an old cottage actually....I recently did it up....it has heat/bathroom ..two bed.. lighting ...kitchen/ cooker all that is needed for anyone's basic needs...I personally will fill the fridge and look after the essentials for their Xmas dinner...all they need do is be safe...together...and not worry about Santa coming...he will arrive. Myself and my son put up the Xmas trees inside and a out today....ill post u a pic. If there is.. which I know their are many ...needed something like this it's there.. ...least I could do. Keep doing what you're doing Ken...people are waking up ...and eyes are being opened. Regards Alan |

We are overwhelmed by this young lady and how much she has done to help Inner City Helping Homeless. This is Lexi Delaney and Lexi held a sale in her garden last Saturday 5th November, and raised over 300 euro to buy sleeping bags for the homeless. She put a lot of hard work and planning into her event it certainly paid off. Lexi also collected toiletries and food for the homeless and got a donation from Doty Van Man to help her with this amazing donation. We are looking forward to seeing you in the office Lexi and a huge thank you from everyone in ICHH. You are an inspiration to us all.

You might remember reading that one particular landlord in Navan who has a notorious reputation as a slum landlord and who seems like he is somehow protected from action by Meath County Council and enjoys the total silence of all County councillor's as to his treatment of vulnerable people.
What you see in the photograph here is the heating boiler from one of his houses locked up preventing his tenants from turning on the heating.

This is an example of the complete lack of facilities that Travellers have to suffer today. At this camp just outside Ennis, Co Clare these 4 Traveller families have NO TOILETS, NO ELECTRICITY, NO WATER.
These families have been on the homeless list for a number of years, have already tried to survive in emergency accommodation, stayed in overcrowded situations with family and now have to live on the side of a dirt track in muck and water. A gas cylinder exploded recently and one person had to be hospitalised with eye injuries. This cannot go on!
The Dept. of the Environment needs to make sure that local authorities do their job of providing Traveller accommodation.

Last Wednesday 12th October, 81 Families faced the EVICTION Courts in Cork. Along with 1000's of other Families over the years. All around the Country this is happening. We have the worst housing crisis in the history of the state. Homelessness is at an all time high and no Social/affordable housing policy. The intense psychological turmoil/mental health issues and suicide's caused by the decisions of FF/FG & Labour will never be truly known. And yet for some they can pick-up where they left off 6 year's ago. Cork-based developer O’Flynn Construction exited Nama last December after 6 years. They had 250 houses and apartments in Cork just sitting there empty. They were one of Nama's 'top 10' developers – that is, those who have the biggest debts to the agency. €2bn of debts attached to its assets passed into Nama's control in 2010. O'Flynn now joins a select group of boom-time developers who have exited Nama and are returning to building.The 3 pics shown are in order from March/May & Today. Another high-end apartment block to go with all the other's that lay empty for over 6 year's. We really have not learned a thing as a society have we?

On a mild night,the streets of Dublin weren't as busy as we were expecting after Dublin claimed the Sam again. Unfortunately GAA finals have little impact on the life of someone living on the streets,cold and hungry with so much uncertainty. We got talking to a lady who made a donation to the work we do feeding our homeless friends.She was a Dublin native who was after travelling home from Oz with her mam to collect her homeless brothers body in England to repatriate his remains to Ireland .A journey no one would relish,and to compound her grief her mam passed away Tuesday. This lady commended us on our work feeding the homeless...great to hear such appreciation from a family member of someone who's homeless.

There is a movement from St John of God and the HSE to move all residents from St Mary of the Angels Beaufort into community housing. SMOTA is a wonderful, settled community in a beautiful setting. Many of the residents have lived here for their entire adult lives. The families of the residents do not believe that there is adequate planning, funding and resident involvement to ensure a full and safe life for their family members in the community. The experience of most families has been that they were blindsided by the St John of God Services and are being railroaded into the move without consultation. Many residents have medical conditions and learning disabilities, which mean that they require constant support and access to services. We don't believe they will receive the care they need in the "community". Funding is a constant issue and we would be foolish to take the HSE & SJOG at their word in this case. Once a resident is moved out they can never return.

On Thursday 1st Sept 2016 we had Vulture Funders servants / Bankers servants / Bailiffs / Receivers / Thiefs / Burglars or Criminals (call them what you want) visit our county of Donegal, to a small place called Ramelton. These people came across from Northern Ireland and into our jurisdiction They also brought with them their own locksmiths and bully boys. They also brought paperwork that they thought would help them carry out their dirty deed, their intended and continued campaign, to rob more property from the Irish people.
They also had managed to seduce some local businesses / Estate Agents from Donegal into their activity. The temptation of a few pieces of silver was just too irressistible for them. Find out who they are later.
In their armour too was also our gardai. They fell for the scam hook, line and sinker. In fact our gardai, your gardai, yes all 13, 14 or 15 of them that attended on a quiet Thursday morning in 4 or 5 patrol cars excluding undercover and private cars that brought them to Ramelton, gave them an escort out of Ramelton after their break in to private property. Dare the owner of this property wish to report this crime, he was invited by a garda / sergeant to go to the gardai station and make a complaint!!! Was it a complaint against the gardai or a complaint against criminals from NI breaking into his property that the gardai / sergeant wanted him to make??
On a previous occassion when the same owner of private property reported by telephone, that criminals were breaking into other property of his, the response from the garda station was, "Did he owe the banks any money!!!!!!!

What you are looking at is one of the many pages contained in a data file received from the bank and highlighted in yellow is confirmation the bank indemnified themselves in the event of default.
Otherwise known as a mortgage Indemnity Guarantee (MIG).
This is an insurance policy designed to protect the lender (the mortgagee) against loss in the event of you defaulting and ceasing to repay your mortgage. The policy may be insisted on by the lender at the start of the loan, but it"s usually the borrower (the mortgagor) who pays the premium however not in this case.
Some mortgage lenders have in the past been criticised for not explaining clearly enough that the policy is for their benefit, not that of the borrower. The premium payable is determined by the level of perceived risk to the home lender of you defaulting on the loan. In such circumstances, the lender would repossess and sell the property and cash in the policy.

It is with sadness and regret that we announce that one of our own has lost her life earlier tonight (23/08/2016) at our Kinsale Road Accommodation Centre Cork. The details are still sketchy at the moment, but it is alleged that the Korean woman was found dead at her room by the security. The 6 year old boy who has been playing outside at the time. When his mother did not respond to his knock, the child and his friend went to the security for them to access the room. The security on opening the door, discovered the body and there was no blood in the room as previously noted. We do not have anymore details at this stage, we will issue a statement once we have all the details. It is regrettable that direct provision has claimed a life in this tragic way after a long time.

The Debtors Prison on Halston Street has recently been occupied by a collective of artists. The prison has been left empty and has fallen into disrepair. The occupants are currently seeking support and cooperation from the organisation responsible for the maintenance of the building, the Office of Public Works, as well as the local community. The occupants have stated that their intention is to restore the building and open the ground floor for exhibitions and walking tours which would highlight social injustices from the past until today. The occupants are hard at work preparing the space and launching projects.

On the 4th July when John's Lane West Homeless Hostel closed I was placed in another facility run by Focus Ireland as an "temporary solution" for the first two nights, I was assisted by another ex-resident of Johns Lane West, who had also not been allocated a bed. After a fall on the stairs leading to the bathroom/bed and the other ex-resident being told she could no longer assist me, I was returned to rough sleeping as the space had been allocated to another individual. Since that time I have been sleeping as far out of the City Centre as possible. I have more recently (past few nights returned to where I used to sleep) in the City Centre.

Carroll's Village is a self-catering Centre in Dundalk. According to Dundalk Democrat, the East Coast Catering company, that runs the Centre, received from the Department 91.5 million over the period of 12 years. Image 1. Clanrye Villa Centre is located in Dundalk on Newry road. I spent almost half a day and walked miles trying to find this Centre. None of the locals ever heard of Clanrye Villa or remembers asylum seekers. Acording to Google maps this is the place; altough I am not sure. Image 3. The Centre was open for only 9 months in 2001. I arrive in Drogheda. The St. Laurence's Lodge Centre is image 4. The young and manager of this, now luxurious, hotel was kind to step outside of the reception and explain: 'None of this that you can see was here when asylum seekers inhabited the Centre; no grass, no limestone, no flowers, no fountains-only concrete all over the place. Imagine the blank canvas-that is how it was'. In Sutton, at the edge of a town, I walk endlessly through the long rye grass until I see, in a distance, the red building. Sutton Castle House Centre closed down in 2002 after the local residents objected the existence of asylum seekers near their homes. That was one of the reasons, I was told earlier.

Great day for Tommy who won his case in court today. The council clearly had no defence, and have to accommodate Tommy until they home him. It was a long battle but we were never going to give up. Thank you for all the community support, to all the people that were there daily through good days and bad days, the amazing local businesses and the homeless food runs. No one should ever have to do this, let's hope the council will take the housing issue seriously and also provided emergency accommodation throughout the county. And not wait for a judge to make them do what they are supposed to do.

We will stop outside a number of them and take pictures to highlight homes, which should be opened up and given to homeless families.
Meet outside the Travelodge @ 5pm, Tuesday 19th July
We are aware that:
1. DCC do not have an abundance of vacant homes in the north of the city. However, due to so many Ballymun homeless families in the area, we believe these vacant properties should be immediately opened to help the crisis.
2. That due to cutbacks and outsourcing of housing maintenance, council workers are under huge pressure. We call on the Government to release more funding for councils to carry-out this vital work.

The receiver seems to be claiming TB, from our very quick enquiries - the local vet would be involved and would have had to report it to district vet office (DVO). And yes it has to follow a strict procedure and you have to get assessment done for insurance and compensation: to the receivers: please supply us and the public, with copies of the relevant paperwork.
Our opinion and comments for what it is worth: amoral, unethical and downright cruel, the body shots would prove they did not die quickly. An outbreak of TB would have invoked certain protocols and even invoked a bit of panic in the farming community!
The use of the army if proven must be brought to the Dail and an explanation sort.

Last night around at around 6pm, a large group of squatters and supporters moblised to open 4 new houses on the Grangegorman Road.
People began to mobilise by the robot in the Grangegorman Squat. Around 50 people marched up the road from the squat to the abandoned houses across from Kirwan Street.
While the majority of the crowd gathered outside the houses to show support, some of the activists entered the houses from the back.
At the front the activists removed the boards from the windows upstairs.
At approximately 6.30 pm a Garda van arrived, shortly followed by 2 marked Garda cars and 1 unmarked Garda. In total there were 7 Garda on the scene. One Gard was heard to remark “we are an emergency response unit. We have better things to be doing" and wasn't being ironic. After about 20 minutes the Garda unit left and the activists continued with the action.
The activists continue to occupy the buildings and have no intention of leaving.

After about 20 minutes the Garda unit left and the activists continued with the action.
The activists continue to occupy the buildings and have no intention of leaving.

The picture drawn by this generation will be a bed and breakfast,a hotel or a modular home without sun shining,that will be replaced by darkened stormy skies.

Anti Eviction Task Force stage protest at Limerick Court where 170 home evictions were planned.
Today in Limerick Court, the Irish state on behalf of capitalism and property in favour of its own citizens
and the original ideals of the 1916 proclamation, was planning to use the resource of the state to
carry out 170 home evications throwing potentially hundreds more citizens onto the streets.
Fortunately for those terrorized by the banks and the last 8 years of austerity got a slight reprive
when 150 members and supporters of the Anti Eviction Task Force held a protest outside and inside the
court and interrupting the criminal proceedings.
The protestors setup their own people's court and jury and declared the repossession courts were not legitimate and
that the courts were supporting the mass eviction of people around the country.
Due to the intense public spotlight, the proceedings were abandoned for the day. However the state does
not like to be embarrased or shown up in the same way thugs or the mafia don't like to be, so to try and
criminalise the protest they deployed armed Garda purely so that this fact could be widely reported in the
pro-capitalist pro-banking media and thereby imply the protest today was somehow more sinister and to try
and drive a wedge between the general public and the protesters.

According to Galway Corporation, there are no houses available in Galway so it seems it's OK to house a young mother and her 3 young children in a hostel for almost 15 months now. We know there are houses. On a short walk last week we identified 12 boarded up houses in just half an hour. We believe that there are over 100 boarded up Corporation properties in Galway alone. We need your help to identify and record where these properties are.

This is not a cold weather hostel like the Bru on Thomas Street. Several of the residents here (including myself) have asked DCC where they expect us to go. We have been given little to no/information other than the fact that the hostel will close on the 2nd of May and that residents are expected to attempt to locate alternative accommodation via the freephone.

Hi.
I read your article and wanted to tell you my story.
I'm a qualified nurse for the past seven years. I'm married to a Garda who qualified last April.
We have two children.
All of my life, all I've ever wanted to be is a nurse. As a child I'd pretend to be a nurse. It was a life long dream.
My husbands dream was to be a policeman.
Both of us feel very proud to have achieved our dreams.
We had the kids, the house and the careers. We had it all.
We did not, however, anticipate what achieving our dreams would mean.
In 2014 I was out of work for just over a year battling cancer. My husband had left his job as a barman to train as a Garda. My sick pay ended after 3 months and I received social welfare.
We had to continue to pay the usual bills. The mortgage, the cars, (both cars are over ten years old), the loan for my husband to train as a Garda and my medical bills for my treatment for cancer etc etc etc. But it became impossible. We struggled financially.
I'm now in remission thankfully but I was forced to return to work before I was given the all clear just to try and put food on the table for the four of us.
However we have not been able to keep up with our mortgage repayments and now we face eviction. We are going to lose our home. This in turn will result in my husband possibly losing his dream job as a Garda.
I know that my having cancer didn't help our situation but in all honesty, I still don't think we could have managed financially anyway. And all because we studied hard to achieve our dreams of becoming a nurse and a Garda. These are now the two lowest paid public servant jobs in Ireland and yet I think they are two of the most demanding jobs.
We are now faced with sofa surfing for the foreseeable future. With two small children this will be a nightmare. We cannot afford rent and we won't get any help from the government. We have hit rock bottom. We have ended up with nothing but our insultingly low paid dream jobs and two beautiful children that we almost cannot afford to feed.
We are not alone in this situation of course. There are many more nurses and Gardai struggling to survive on low incomes.
The saddest part is, neither of us would ever ever encourage any young person to become a Garda or a nurse. Ever.
If you do go down that career path you'll almost certainly struggle financially for the rest of your life and you'll most likely never own your own home or indeed be able to afford the luxury of having children.
The most frustrating thing is that we were the people who bailed out the banks. We didn't cause the banking crises but my God are we paying for it dearly. We do want to pay our mortgage but the banks simply won't engage with us or make a deal with us and yet are happy to write millions of euros of banking debts off for those who caused the crises. It's incredibly unfair. I write this in tears as very few people seem to care about what's happening. And our national media are great at hiding the truth too. The truth needs to be made public not hidden away.
Please share my message. It's so important that people are aware of what life is like for nurses and guards. It's not the well paying pensionable job the media or the government would like you to think it is.
Thanks for your great work at highlighting what life is like for the emergency services. It's a horrible horrible life at the moment and it's only getting worse.
Thanks again.
Yours *********

This is the heartbreaking reality of what it is like for children caught up in evictions. Not only are the institutions taking their homes they are also taking away their innocence, their childhood, their security & sadly sometimes their parents lives. The words eviction & sheriff should be words that kids should hear in history class not words they fear in everyday life. No child should have to worry for their parent, that's the parents job.

Developers Michael and Richard Larkin paid themselves €254,633 from the company that is now seeking to remove residents from their rented homes in Tyrellstown. Between 2013 and 2014, the developers doubled the directors' remuneration at Twinlite, the property management company that informed residents their leases would not be renewed.
The only two listed directors of the company were the brothers.
The Larkins and Twinlite have attempted to distance themselves from the move, claiming that they sold the properties to EPF in 2008, which then rented them out.
However, High Court records from as recently as December 2014 show that the brothers were the ultimate beneficiaries of shares in EPF. The information was in an affidavit sworn by Richard Larkin on October 7, 2014.
It was part of a failed case taken by the developers to stop Ulster Bank from selling on €89m in development loans to a Goldman Sachs vulture fund.

Columb was given just five minutes to clear out when the removal happened suddenly at 7am – and some of his belongings were still in the shelter when it was destroyed.

On Thursday the 18th of February, 13 Families, the entire residency of a hostel were told they were to be evicted by Friday the 26th of February (Election Day). The first response from many residence was shock. How could this be done to them, where would they go, would they be pushed back into a night by night precariousness, into a wet hostel, out to a hotel on the edge of the city or simply pushed onto the streets? Why were they being evicted they asked? Some have been at 54-55 Mountjoy Street for 10 months, many had been told they would be housed after they did ‘there time’ at Mountjoy St and they wouldn’t be moved anywhere else.
Shock and anguish turned to anger for many of the families. These families had been through a lot, from sickness to the anxiety of where they would be the next time, to concerns of how their children would be affected by all of the insecurity and uncertainty. Now there stress and strain was being doubled again.
The families have come together, support by Dublin Central Housing Action and the Irish Housing Network, to fight for peace of mind; for a safe home. They have appointed spokespeople listed below, and are appealing for Management and DCC to sort out their differences and keep 13 families off the streets.

As a direct result of a very distraught Man taking his life, because he could not take the Bank hounding him anymore,a few of us got our heads together and come up with a solution.We found out later,that this Man had never heard of any help that was out there.This Man left behind a Wife and four lovely Children,who are now emotionally destroyed for a long time.Our intention is to get a Van,and plaster it with help phone numbers..We will park this Van outside Courts, to show People that are up for eviction that there is help.We already have a signwriter who will signwrite the Van for free.We have the Drivers to go to the courts,all we need now is your help.I am asking for 2 euro from just over half my friends list,and we could have this Van on the road soon,to help prevent any more untimely deaths.I would also like to appeal to any bedgrudgers,or naysayers,just to scroll on by,and please do not hinder our attemtps to save lives.All documents, tax and insurance will be posted for all donors to see.......Thank You
