@RTEOne 1,100 deaths in Irish Nursing Homes in April 2020. One month, when the most vulnerable died alone during first COVID lockdown in Ireland 🇮🇪. NPHET POLICY. I wonder did RTÉ INVESTIGATES make any comments on this?

@RTEOne I hope there is some mention of how the Irish Government banned family members from visiting their elderly/ill relatives from being able to freely check up on them during covid times...Jesus that was state-ordered cruelty when you think about it

If Nessel Won’t Investigate Whitmer’s Nursing Home Debacle, We Will To hide the state’s response to a DOJ nursing home query, the state is charging us $3,147.80 for the records By Charlie LeDuff (Charlie LeDuff) Lansing — When it comes to law and order in Dana Nessel’s office, it appears that justice is furloughed on Fridays. I drove to the state capital last week to personally deliver a check to the FOIA coordinator. Almost nobody was working inside the Soviet-style G. Mennen Williams Building save for a surly security guard, a guy pushing a vacuum cleaner, and a lonesome bureaucrat who eventually emerged from the bowels of the office block to accept my check. My request? “All responses, correspondence, documents, data sets, memos, briefings, notes, investigation files, emails and attachments, and work product concerning the state’s response to the U.S. Department of Justice request for information regarding Covid-19 and the state’s public nursing homes. That request was dated August 26, 2020. The state of Michigan was given 14 days to respond.” The FOIA office estimated the cost to assemble that information to be a whopping $3,147.80. Charging obscene amounts of money for bureaucrats to sit at home in their jammies and electronically comb public records is an old journalism ruse designed to make me go away. But we at Michigan Enjoyer have called Nessel’s bluff. After all, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now the target of a federal investigation. He is being investigated not for his response to Covid in the nursing homes, but for lying to Congress about his response to Covid in the nursing homes. Nessel, who takes big money from the nursing home lobby, refuses to investigate. Maybe she’s protecting her contributors. Maybe she’s protecting Whitmer. Whomever Nessel is protecting, it’s certainly not the senior citizens of Michigan. Given that Whitmer plagiarized Cuomo’s Covid response, and seeing how nobody has put Whitmer under oath, we figure it’s money well spent. Those documents are due in 90 days, approximately 10 Tuesdays from today. See you then.

Whitmer Gave Us Fake Nursing Home Death Counts Her policy was to commingle the sick and the healthy in nursing homes during Covid, and new documents reveal her administration never gathered the data to find out how many died By Charlie LeDuff Charlie LeDuff Governor Gretchen Whitmer finally said the quiet part out loud about her deadly and disastrous response to Covid-19. “Listen,” she said to popular podcast host Caleb Hammer last November when pushed on her pandemic lockdown orders. “None of us wants to go back and relive that. We were doing the best we could with very little or very bad information.” Very little or very bad information is the least of it. When it came to the admission of infected people into the state’s nursing homes, Whitmer and her health officials were working with no data at all. They allowed the nursing homes to simply make it up. According to an initial search of 15,000 pages of unredacted documents obtained by Michigan Enjoyer, Michigan health officials had no grasp of the number of dead within the state's long-term care facilities. And when pushed by the federal government to supply the data by June 2020, the Whitmer administration simply turned to the nursing homes with a wink and a nod. From March through June—the height of the pandemic—Michigan was among the last states to report nursing home deaths. State health officials had attempted a half-dozen times to tabulate the death count and came up with a half-dozen conflicting numbers. The feds required a death be counted as a nursing home death regardless of whether it occurred in the facility or at the hospital. But by the end of June 2020, only two-thirds of nursing homes had even reported to state health officials. According to health department spreadsheets, the total deaths reported by the homes was a mere 255. (As a comparison, New York State reported nearly 7,000 in the same time frame.) Despite the federal guidelines, a team of bean counters in Lansing was removing hospital deaths, anyhow. Their total was just 99 victims. Caught in a legal and public relations vice, state officials circled back to the nursing homes and asked them to simply self-report a raw number. No name. No age. No data of death. No social security number. It was a simple “take their word for it" arrangement. By mid-June, the Whitmer administration was reporting just 1,947 deaths. Those original nursing home reports sent by nursing home administrators have since been deleted. And a year later, Whitmer’s claim that mixing the sick with the healthy in the same building had lead to fewer deaths would be totally debunked. In August 2020, as the nursing home scandal was enveloping New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, officials in Whitmer’s circle began to panic. On August 14, a blizzard of emails passed between Whitmer health officials and state epidemiologists asking if an update on the true nursing home death toll had been tabulated. “This is of great interest to the governor’s office,” a health department official wrote to an epidemiologist. “May I get an ETA of when this (data) could be refined?” This “refinement” never happened. Instead, a study was published in September by the Center for Health and Research Transformation, an independent consulting firm attached to the University of Michigan. Using the state’s flawed and phony data, the CHRT report claimed that Michigan’s nursing home Covid deaths were well below the national average. CHRT’s findings were taken as gospel among the facile media and the professional fact-checkers. But documents obtained by Michigan Enjoyer reveal a chummy relationship between the CHRT group and state health officials. A few months before the release of its report, the executive director of CHRT was contacted by a reporter who rightly asked why Michigan was among the last states in the union to publish its nursing home death count. Before responding to the reporter, the executive director of CHRT emailed two senior HHS officials looking for direction. “(The reporter) is doing another article on the lack of data in Michigan nursing home cases and deaths from Covid,” wrote Marianne Udow-Phillips. “I’m hoping to better understand the data limitations we’re currently facing and what’s being done to address them. Thanks so much!” It must be noted that the CHRT’s study was funded by the Michigan Health Endowment, a state-created nonprofit whose nine board governors are appointed by the governor. What these communications expose is a feedback loop of cognitive dissonance. The media provided questions to the think tank. The think tank, in turn, asked the government to provide it with a response. This was considered independent, scientific confirmation of Whitmer’s devastating strategy. Udow-Phillips did not respond to request for comment. The phone message at CHRT headquarters, last week, said the office is closed due to the Covid pandemic. CHRT’s findings were eventually debunked by the Auditor General of Michigan in January 2022. The auditor found the death toll in the first 17 months of the pandemic alone to be 42% higher than Whitmer was reporting to the public. Whitmer’s health director testified before the House Oversight Committee that its death number was accurate because the Health Department accurately reported what the nursing homes had told them. Adding to the outrage is a slew of peer-reviewed studies showing that nursing homes that commingled the infected with the healthy across the country had a death rate 72% higher than those that facilities that did not. “There are some actions that are so foolish and so consequential that they beg for outrage,” wrote Dr. James Goodwin of the University of Texas in the Journal of the American Medical Association. “No individual with the slightest knowledge of nursing homes could have forced nursing home to admit patients with COVID-19. The majority of nursing homes were totally unprepared to quarantine patients with COVID-19.” So what is the true death count in Michigan’s long-term care facilities? Remember, Michigan continued to commingle the sick and the healthy in the same buildings throughout the pandemic. New York ended the practice after 40 days. The auditor general counted at least 8,051 dead between March 2020 and July 2021. But Michigan never corrected its total and stopped counting long-term care facility Covid deaths altogether by May 2022. To this day, the Whitmer administration claims total long-term facility total deaths were just 7,324. The true number of dead in the Great Lakes State may be as high as 14,000. We won’t know without an investigation. But Attorney General Dana Nessel refuses to conduct one. And Whitmer? She continues to prop the proverbial folder over her face. “None of us wants to go back and relive that,” she said. “We were doing the best we could with very little or very bad information.” Many of us do want to go back. We remember every time we pray in memory of your loved ones. This isn’t over. We have thousands of documents to go.

Another Garda Whistleblower Scandal involving a FG Minister. Labour TD Alan Kelly has accused Minister Helen McEntee of either "incompetence or a mistake" in her handling of a protected disclosure, adding that it is something that will "haunt" her and the Government in which she served. ✍️ Julie Juliette Gash Deputy Doherty said that safety concerns about Garda gun holsters were made known as far back as 2020 when Helen McEntee was Justice Minister. He accused her of repeatedly dodging questions on the issue of the holsters, which he said led to the death of a Garda. Gary Gannon said "last night's RTÉ Investigates programme was shocking and showed that the oppressive and vindictive culture which existed when Maurice McCabe was targeted for speaking out.. has not been rooted out of An Garda Síochána". #HelenMcEntee #Garda #RTEInvestigates #Whistleblowers #HowIrelandWorks

🚨 Canada Effective April 1st 2024: NEW Continuing Care Regulation “Moving to 0 hours of care” Caregiver in tears: “So that means in a continuing care home, someone can be left for a week sitting in their own fecal matter and that's just okay now because it is now not the nurse's job to actually care for their patient.” “New rules do not prescribe how many hours of care residents of a facility should receive.” “The vulnerable in our world are supposed to be taken care of, and now the government is making it so that isn't even a thing anymore. We're going back in f****** time instead of forward, and I'm just baffled by this. How can you go to school and become a nurse and not give a **** about the people you're taking care of. There's already so many terrible nurses in the medical industry that try to get away with doing the bare minimum so that they keep their job. And now the government is telling them, you don't even have to do the bare minimum to keep your f***** job. It is now lawfully backed that you do what? The fuck is the point of a care home and a continuing care facility if they're not going to have assistance. This is f***** wild. Basically, now what this means is if you have not set yourself up for retirement, which the majority of the population has not because who are we f****** kidding? In this day and age, it's hard enough to put milk and eggs in everyone's fridges. It means that you're not gonna it's not funded. You're not gonna get the help that you need. You're not gonna have the products you need. You're not gonna have the care you need. They literally sent a patient who had a stroke to recover alone in a hospital or sorry, in a hotel in Leduc. Someone who had a stroke was sent to recover alone in a hotel in Leduc. I give up on this world. I didn't think it could get worse.” More information: “Care standards at continuing care facilities to be eliminated, say nurses and NDP - New Continuing Care Act Regulations coming into effect April 1” Alberta’s nurses warn that new provincial regulations will eliminate any legal requirement for continuing care operators to provide nursing care to residents. Last month, the province published a new Continuing Care Act Regulations that are supposed to take effect on April 1. The regulations do not mention a minimum number of required hours of nursing care. “We are moving to zero hours of care. This is extremely dangerous,” said Heather Smith, United Nurses of Alberta president, in a statement. Smith said while that was clearly inadequate, at least there was a minimum legal standard.” United Nurses of Alberta Says “New regulations eliminate all nursing care requirements for residents of continuing care homes in Alberta”

You're not gonna have the products you need. You're not gonna have the care you need. They literally sent a patient who had a stroke to recover alone in a hospital or sorry, in a hotel in Leduc. Someone who had a stroke was sent to recover alone in a hotel in Leduc. I give up on this world. I didn't think it could get worse.” More information: “Care standards at continuing care facilities to be eliminated, say nurses and NDP - New Continuing Care Act Regulations coming into effect April 1” Alberta’s nurses warn that new provincial regulations will eliminate any legal requirement for continuing care operators to provide nursing care to residents. Last month, the province published a new Continuing Care Act Regulations that are supposed to take effect on April 1. The regulations do not mention a minimum number of required hours of nursing care. “We are moving to zero hours of care. This is extremely dangerous,” said Heather Smith, United Nurses of Alberta president, in a statement. Smith said while that was clearly inadequate, at least there was a minimum legal standard.” United Nurses of Alberta Says “New regulations eliminate all nursing care requirements for residents of continuing care homes in Alberta”

Whitmer’s Scandalous Nursing Home Cover-Up I paid more than $3,000 for Michigan nursing home death and infection data, and all I got were fully redacted documents from Dana Nessel’s office By Charlie LeDuff Charlie LeDuff Now that we’ve proven that Attorney General Dana Nessel participated in the cover up of the abuse of a brain-damaged nursing home resident during Covid, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer stood idly by, it’s time to address the mammoth scandal. What about the 130,000 other people in the long-term care facilities who were locked away in the darkness of the pandemic? How many died? And what did they die from? Loneliness? Or Covid contracted from the infected people Whitmer ordered into the nursing homes? We’ve never gotten the answer. And I suspect a massive cover-up is being conducted at the highest levels of state government. Some quick background. In August 2020, the Justice Department opened a civil-rights investigation into five governors, including Whitmer, who ordered nursing homes to accept people contaminated with Covid. Among other things, the feds demanded Michigan’s nursing home death and infection data, as well as Whitmer’s “scientific” reasoning for commingling the sick with the healthy. Whitmer’s team responded about a month later. But the public was never told what Whitmer sent to the DOJ. So, I sent a public records request to Whitmer’s lawyer, Dana Nessel, last April. First, Nessel demanded that I pay an outrageous sum of $3,147.80 in order to get those documents. I paid. More than 200 days went by, and I received nothing. That’s illegal. Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act clearly states she had 21 days to produce the goods. So I sued. Now, finally, after 272 days, I received a thumb drive from Nessel’s office containing 596 pages of NOTHING. Nearly all the documents were redacted. Think about that. After years of bombarding the public with a vomit of Covid data, suddenly that data has become a state secret. What was not redacted was my demand letter, and the DOJ’s demand letter, and the Michigan State Senate’s subpoena demanding Whitmer’s response to the DOJ. Beyond a few “Good Morning, Al”s and “Thanks, Bob”s, Nessel blacked everything out—hiding under a blanket claim of attorney client privilege. I’ve got a Doberman of an attorney, Phil Ellison, who will take my complaints over the cost, the delay, and the Nixonian redactions all the way to the Supreme Court, if that’s what it takes. We deserve to know what happened to our loved ones. We deserve better end-of-life care in Michigan. Not a cover-up. Remember, Whitmer claimed she was making pandemic-era decisions on “science and data,” and the flopping fish of corporate media swallowed her asininity hook, line, and sinker. Not me. I sued Whitmer and Nessel in 2021 for that supposed science and data. I won that case, just as I will win this one, and was shocked to learn there was no reliable death data. Nursing homes simply made up numbers to make their facilities look better than they were, and Whitmer dutifully defended it. When I exposed the scandal, the Michigan House of Representatives ordered a full audit of the nursing home dead. The state Auditor General found the long-term facility toll to be 43% higher than what Whitmer was telling the public. It was as bad as Cuomo’s New York, maybe worse. To this day, Whitmer’s administration has not corrected the data. Disregarding the auditor’s report, Nessel delivered the keynote address at the annual convention of the Michigan nursing home lobby. “I’m just tired of hearing it regurgitated over and over and over again that terrible things happened at your facilities,” she screeched. “It’s not true!” But how would she know? Nessel refused then, as she does now, to conduct the most cursory investigation. She refutes the auditor’s findings as “comparing apples to oranges.” She redacts entire documents. She takes money from the nursing homes’ owners rather than investigating credible allegations that they may have funneled Covid profits to subsidiaries while providing poor-quality care. Nessel, who aided and abetted the alleged financial rape and mental abuse of the late-Rose Burd, must step aside or be moved to the side. And Whitmer? I am a patient man. Justice is a right, not an option.

Video of a nurse who took to the internet asking for advice after being fired for promoting a link to her OnlyFans account on social media is going viral. Many commenters pointed out that nurses are expected to maintain integrity and professionalism even when they are off duty. Their conduct, both in public and online, can affect the dignity and trust associated with the nursing profession. I dug deeper to find out what the actual rules say. Hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes almost always have social media and code-of-conduct policies that cover off-duty behavior. Adult content is a common trigger because employers treat it as a reputation risk: patients may feel uncomfortable, coworkers may gossip or watch the content at work, and the facility does not want its name tied to it. There are documented cases where nurses were let go after colleagues found the account, subscribed, screenshotted it, and took it to management. Sometimes the stated reason is "distraction," not "we object to sex work." In at-will employment states, that is usually enough. Those professional standards are also reflected in state regulations: State Boards of Nursing are responsible for protecting the public and maintaining the integrity of the profession, and many state Nurse Practice Acts include provisions addressing moral fitness, professional boundaries, and conduct unbecoming a nurse. Freedom to post doesn’t always mean freedom from professional consequences. So while nurses certainly have personal lives outside of work, being off duty does not necessarily mean they are exempt from professional standards or their employer’s policies.

My graphic illustrates the large number of vacant and derelict properties in Dublin City. It also shows the 4,666 entire houses or apartments currently listed for short-term letting on the Airbnb platform, with a total of 18,649 across Ireland. Landowners owe councils €50 million as 90% of vacant site levies go unpaid. Intended to prevent land hoarding and accelerate housing development, only €138,335 of €9.6 million owed in 2022 was collected. Thirteen of 31 local authorities issued no demands, and of the 18 that did, only four collected any money. Dublin City Council imposed nearly €4.9 million in levies but collected nothing. The prolonged dereliction of properties should be considered social vandalism, a crime against the state and the common good. An effective vacant and derelict tax, coupled with a compulsory sales order, could dissuade landlords from hoarding land, particularly sites that have been vacant and derelict for an extended period. Homelessness in Ireland has reached another new record high, with 14,760 people homeless and relying on emergency accommodation, including 4,561 children from 2,133 families, according to the latest figures released by the Department of Housing. The Housing for All plan, launched by the Irish government in September 2021, is their housing strategy aimed at addressing the country's housing crisis. However, since its implementation, statistics have revealed alarming trends: • Total homelessness increased by 74%, from 8,475 to 14,760. • Homeless adults increased by 66%, from 6,131 to 10,199 . • Homeless children increased by 95%, from 2,344 to 4,561. The 2022 Census shows that the country has 166,752 vacant homes and 66,135 empty holiday homes. Notably, nearly a third of these vacant homes (48,387) have been unoccupied since 2016. Predictably, rent has doubled over the past 13 years and house prices have surged by 55%, marking the fastest growth in any major EU economy. Average rents have soared by 43% compared to pre-Covid levels, with Dublin rents now averaging €2,476. In the capital, a typical three-bed semi-detached home costs €517,333. The average house price in Dublin is rising by €469 per week. To purchase a new home in Dublin priced around €395,000, a first-time buyer typically needs an annual income of at least €77,142 and must also have a minimum deposit of 10%, amounting to around €39,500. This financial barrier helps explain why an estimated 10,600 people left Ireland to live in Australia last year, up from 4,700 the previous year—a staggering 126% increase. This marks the highest level of emigration to Australia since 2013. Currently, vulture funds own 1 in 6 mortgages in the Irish housing market, while cuckoo funds and the State purchase 42% of new homes. This situation has led to a record number of first-time buyers competing for the smallest supply of housing stock in over a decade. Nationally, just over 11,000 homes are available for purchase, a stark contrast to 2012 when 60,000 homes were on the market. A garda and a nurse with a combined salary of €89,000 cannot afford a three-bedroom semi-detached house in greater Dublin. To add to the crisis, the income needed to buy a new home in Dublin is €127,000, which surpasses even a TD's basic salary of €108,987. Consequently, 68% of people in their late 20s still live with their parents, a figure that is nearly 26% higher than the EU average of 42.1%. #Dublin #Ireland #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #homeless #Airbnb #GE2024 #HousingForAll #Election24 #RTEPT

PM on social care …pretty clear in conclusion “I’m not going to be deflected by point scoring or the screaming headlines, that is what has set back social care… come back to the point about the political and media culture of this country ..if we try to shut down a serious debate about an issue like this then shame on all of us… I would never forgive myself if I left without having tried because of the inevitable headlines and scare stories… people are already scared by what they are seeing through their own eyes in their own homes or in care homes”… Burnham says that he will back Louise Casey 100% whose report is now brought forward a year… says he’ll do it for his Dad and millions up and down the country, with a bit of a crack in his voice. He also stressed the need to have cross party consultations as far away from an election as possible. Appears clear that PM is focussing on the suggestions or depiction of social care options as being “death taxes”, especially in the wider media, and he feels he can win that argument, which in turn rather suggests that estate taxes are a clear direction of travel here…

My graphic illustrates the high number of vacant and derelict properties in Dublin City. It also shows 4,666 entire houses or apartments currently listed for short-term letting on the Airbnb platform, with a total of 18,649 across Ireland. By the way, the red blocks in my graphic represent some of the derelict and vacant sites in Dublin City, while the red houses represent Airbnb short-term rentals. The graphic also highlights a new housing development at Fosterstown Place in Swords where Ryanair purchased 25 out of 28 homes. Ireland's housing system is dysfunctional and not fit for purpose as it fails to deter vulture funds from bulk buying properties that could be homes for individual buyers. On May 20, 2021, the Irish Government introduced a 10% stamp duty on bulk purchases of residential houses. This measure aimed to discourage large-scale acquisitions by investors and vulture funds. This is one of the reasons why the housing system is broken in Ireland. Ryanair cabin crew salaries in Ireland are notably lower than those of their counterparts at other airlines. Their pay ranges from €17,000 to €29,000, depending on flight hours and additional bonuses. The average salary for cabin crew across Ireland is approximately €2,120 per month or €25,400 annually, indicating that Ryanair's pay is about 15% lower than the national average for flight attendants. It's worth mentioning that Michael O'Leary's current salary stands at €1.2 million—about €49,271 per month. His total compensation package could reach up to €4.7 million, depending on performance bonuses. O'Leary's net worth, primarily derived from his shareholding in Ryanair, is estimated at around €700 million. It's no wonder Ryanair staff struggle to afford average rent in Dublin. Last January, the airline purchased 25 out of 28 homes in a new housing development at Fosterstown Place in Swords. Ryanair stated that these properties were acquired to accommodate staff who work at Dublin Airport. However, to make matters worse, 18 of these homes are sitting empty—six months after the developer completed them. Homelessness in Ireland has reached another new record high, with 14,760 people homeless and relying on emergency accommodation, including 4,561 children from 2,133 families, according to the latest figures released by the Department of Housing. The Government failed to meet its social and affordable housing targets by 2,680 homes last year and significantly underestimated the number of houses needed to be built annually by 17,000. It's widely accepted that Ireland requires up to 50,000 additional houses each year; however, the government's "Housing for All" plan only aims to build an average of 33,000. The Housing for All plan, launched by the Irish government in September 2021, is their housing strategy aimed at addressing the country's housing crisis. However, since its implementation, statistics have revealed alarming trends: • Total homelessness increased by 74%, from 8,475 to 14,760. • Homeless adults increased by 66%, from 6,131 to 10,199 . • Homeless children increased by 95%, from 2,344 to 4,561.

Ireland's housing system is dysfunctional and not fit for purpose as it fails to deter vulture funds from bulk buying properties that could be homes for individual buyers. On May 20, 2021, the Irish Government introduced a 10% stamp duty on bulk purchases of residential houses. This measure aimed to discourage large-scale acquisitions by investors and vulture funds. This is one of the reasons why the housing system is broken in Ireland. Ryanair cabin crew salaries in Ireland are notably lower than those of their counterparts at other airlines. Their pay ranges from €17,000 to €29,000, depending on flight hours and additional bonuses. The average salary for cabin crew across Ireland is approximately €2,120 per month or €25,400 annually, indicating that Ryanair's pay is about 15% lower than the national average for flight attendants. It's worth mentioning that Michael O'Leary's current salary stands at €1.2 million—about €49,271 per month. His total compensation package could reach up to €4.7 million, depending on performance bonuses. O'Leary's net worth, primarily derived from his shareholding in Ryanair, is estimated at around €700 million. It's no wonder Ryanair staff struggle to afford average rent in Dublin. Last January, the airline purchased 25 out of 28 homes in a new housing development at Fosterstown Place in Swords. Ryanair stated that these properties were acquired to accommodate staff who work at Dublin Airport. However, to make matters worse, 18 of these homes are sitting empty—six months after the developer completed them. Homelessness in Ireland has reached another new record high, with 14,760 people homeless and relying on emergency accommodation, including 4,561 children from 2,133 families, according to the latest figures released by the Department of Housing. The Government failed to meet its social and affordable housing targets by 2,680 homes last year and significantly underestimated the number of houses needed to be built annually by 17,000. It's widely accepted that Ireland requires up to 50,000 additional houses each year; however, the government's "Housing for All" plan only aims to build an average of 33,000. The Housing for All plan, launched by the Irish government in September 2021, is their housing strategy aimed at addressing the country's housing crisis. However, since its implementation, statistics have revealed alarming trends: • Total homelessness increased by 74%, from 8,475 to 14,760. • Homeless adults increased by 66%, from 6,131 to 10,199 . • Homeless children increased by 95%, from 2,344 to 4,561. The 2022 Census shows that the country has 166,752 vacant homes and 66,135 empty holiday homes. Notably, nearly a third of these vacant homes (48,387) have been unoccupied since 2016. Predictably, rent has doubled over the past 13 years and house prices have surged by 55%, marking the fastest growth in any major EU economy. Average rents have soared by 43% compared to pre-Covid levels, with Dublin rents now averaging €2,476. In the capital, a typical three-bed semi-detached home costs €517,333. The average house price in Dublin is rising by €469 per week. To purchase a new home in Dublin priced around €395,000, a first-time buyer typically needs an annual income of at least €77,142 and must also have a minimum deposit of 10%, amounting to around €39,500. This financial barrier helps explain why an estimated 10,600 people left Ireland to live in Australia last year, up from 4,700 the previous year—a staggering 126% increase. This marks the highest level of emigration to Australia since 2013. Currently, vulture funds own 1 in 6 mortgages in the Irish housing market, while cuckoo funds and the State purchase 42% of new homes. This situation has led to a record number of first-time buyers competing for the smallest supply of housing stock in over a decade. Nationally, just over 11,000 homes are available for purchase, a stark contrast to 2012 when 60,000 homes were on the market. A garda and a nurse with a combined salary of €89,000 cannot afford a three-bedroom semi-detached house in greater Dublin. To add to the crisis, the income needed to buy a new home in Dublin is €127,000, which surpasses even a TD's basic salary of €108,987. Consequently, 68% of people in their late 20s still live with their parents, a figure that is nearly 26% higher than the EU average of 42.1%. #Dublin #Ireland #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #homeless #Airbnb #GE2024 #Ryanair #HousingForAll

Inside the Think Tank That Whitewashed Whitmer's Nursing Home Deaths CHRT, whose office was still closed for Covid when we visited, helped coordinate the glowing PR campaign By Charlie LeDuff Charlie LeDuff Ann Arbor — The Whitmer administration hired an “outside, independent non-profit” to conduct a nursing home response study back in 2020. That “independent” analysis ultimately claimed that Whitmer’s strategy of placing Covid-infected people inside nursing homes was a great success. The study was released to the Michigan media who took it as gospel, and the swirling questions about what was really happening behind closed doors came to an abrupt end. Now, Michigan Enjoyer has unearthed 50,000 pages of internal health department documents that throw the validity and independence of that study into question. We called the nonprofit’s office a dozen times. The recorded message was the same: “You have reached CHRT — the Center for Health and Research Transformation. Our office hours are Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our office space is not open to visitors.” What in the world? Apparently, no one had informed the so-called experts that Biden had officially ended the pandemic three years ago. We left messages. None were returned. So we drove out to Ann Arbor to their office space. Damn their Covid restrictions. A security guard escorted us up to their second-floor suite and key-swiped us in. The place brought to mind an empty appliance box. The lights were on, but there were no people. There were eight cubicles with computer monitors but no computers. No photographs. No stacks of paperwork. Just dust and a moldering coffee pot. The security guard was discombobulated. “I’m just confused,” she said. “Me, too.” I said. Whitmer was facing tremendous pressure over her nursing home policy in the summer of 2020. She and her health experts had co-opted the practice of commingling the sick and healthy from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. But Cuomo had abandoned the practice 40 days into the pandemic under withering criticism from family members of people who had died in nursing homes. Whitmer, inexplicably, continued with the practice. And with the criticism mounting, she needed to show it worked. So her Health Department hired the Center for Health & Research Transformation through another nonprofit whose board of directors is controlled by Whitmer. CHRT was then headed by Marianne Udow-Phillips, a former Blue Cross Blue Shield executive and former director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services under Gov. Jennifer Granholm. The documents show that Udow-Phillips, a supposedly independent outsider, was actually an insider who was actively communicating with health officials while conducting the study. And they were planning a public relations push before the report was finalized. “We had a productive call with Marianne this afternoon,” a bureaucrat wrote to then Director of the Department of Human Services Robert Gordon. “They plan to issue a press release in conjunction with the report and we discussed the idea of doing a virtual press briefing together.” “Yes they are putting a chart into their report that is very powerful and we should widely disseminate,” Gordon wrote back. “From my perspective, the main points are: CHRT evidence shows the core of our policy, hubs, was reasonable and effective.” The problem with all of this is that Michigan health officials knew the death data in the federally funded nursing homes was comically flawed. Yet the nonprofit took that data at face value, anyhow. A few months before the release of the nursing home report, the director of CHRT emailed HHS officials looking for direction about what to feed the media. “(A reporter) is doing another article on the lack of data in Michigan nursing home cases and deaths from Covid,” wrote Udow-Phillips. “I’m hoping to better understand the data limitations were currently facing and what’s being done to address them. Thanks so much!” In the end, Michigan’s final nursing home death count is at least 25% lower than the final tallies of both the Auditor General of Michigan and the federal government. Udow-Phillips, who also worked as an intermediary between the Health Department and the Michigan press corps, declined an interview. Gordon, who left the Michigan health department in January 2021 with a $155,506.05 severance package and a non-disclosure agreement with Gov. Whitmer, went on to serve as a Biden Asst. Secretary of Health and Human Resources. According to his LinkedIn profile, Gordon is now the vice president of a nonprofit think tank leading efforts to modernize state-level administration systems. Efforts to contact him proved fruitless. His nonprofit has no centralized office and no publicly listed phone number.

Mayor Mamdani announced today that he balanced the NYC budget by being bailed out by Gov. Hochul. Billions of dollars from New York State are now going to NYC instead of helping New Yorkers outside the failing city. Meanwhile, Mamdani is spending an estimated $1.5 billion in 2026 on benefits for illegal immigrants. As for the $500 million in new revenue Mamdani claims, that’s a lie. He thinks rich people with second homes in NYC will just pay higher taxes and not care. They’ll sell their homes and leave. They’re already doing it. Mamdani didn’t balance the budget; he stole from poor Americans outside NYC to fund illegals inside NYC. That’s why he’s failing and so is the city. Rich people are leaving for cities in states like Florida and Texas. That was already happening before Mamdani. Now it’s getting much worse. This isn’t a balanced budget. It’s a broken budget, a catastrophe for NYC, and a failure by both Mamdani and Hochul.
