@SarahAMcInerney @rtenews And there’s the problem. Our government sees people’s homes as an investment opportunity.

@rtenews Sister of Minister interviews FF backed Developer,who critices Opposition as been Populist when having their say on the Govts latest Plan RTE where is the Balance

@rtenews O'Flynn toeing the FFG/MSM line of calling the opposition "populist". Utterly pathetic of #rtept having a developer on, who has made literally millions of euro in building, shiting on about "fair" profits. He got the "populist" slur from the script he kept checking. FFG lackey.

@rtenews And this government just swallowed their greedy demands hook, line & sinker. Government for developers

@rtenews Flynn was recently refused planning by An Bord Pleanála for apartments in Ballincollig because they were all 1 and 2 bedroom. Not family homes.

@rtenews Get rid of punitive taxes and regulations on developers and landlords and they will supply the market. It's really that simple

@rtenews Thoughts and Prayers🙏

@rtenews Profits are going tothe IPAS providers with good political connections. Meanwhile, honest property investors are called vultures. We are run by donkeys.

@rtenews Why are they viable in pretty much every other European country, where they also cost considerably less to rent then?

@rtenews Grrr no the developers just need to stop being GREEDY and build homes for free. Also why tf are the government charging VAT on something we desperately need? When hospitality is doing badly we don't think twice before cutting their rate.
