Anyone see the Primetime report on the state of publically owned flats in Dublin? The scientist who reported on them said they were akin to refugee camps and unfit for human habitation. Sewerage coming up thro the taps and baths, terrible damp, moulds of all hues, and lots of sick kids and adults. The irony is these people are paying rent to Dublin County Council to live in these.
In fairness the Minister for housing (can't recall his name) said he was horrified by it and would take it up with the council. Now compare all this with preparations for the Queen & Obama's visit. We can employ lots of people to secure their safety for a few days, but we leave these poor people in abysmal squalor, and endanger their health. What a country.
