Gee, a hotel room, a car, what else?
Am I missing something?

How many short-term rentals do they have? Do they even know? This needs to get registered and taxed.

I hope things are better there, now.

@chicagogyrl4846 June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

Does this woman have a job??!

@chicagogyrl4846 June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

All of these “homeless” people in these films all have nice newer vehicles!!

@chicagogyrl4846 June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

They have the hotel room so they are not actually homeless.

Once we began to allow corporations to buy personal homes, here are the results.❤ its like a bad game of musical chairs worldwide. Choose between luxury apartments or overpriced houses…

Welfare state. In South Africa if you don't have a home you sleep on the street. If you don't have a job you don't eat. No toll free number to call and get put up in a hotel. She doesn't seem to have a job? I guess college is free too?

@michelemcgill1720 June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

What is the back story?

@gweilospur5877 June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

Erm……get a job? No, don’t be silly.

@mishi144 June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

I'm going through this. My dad did it. Lured me in with the promise of buying me an apartment and then when I wouldn't let him control and abuse me the way he wanted to, he gave me 30 days to pack everything up and leave. He only gave me 30 days because he legally had to. What kind of father kicks their young daughter out onto the streets during a housing AND rental crisis? Then he apparently sold the apartment and took the profits to go on an overseas holiday.

How do Irish people even know if they are homeless? It would be fantastic if the Irish government actually stopped creating such a handout society. I lived there for a few years and was horrified at how normalised it was to be on benefits. People proudly shared how they were on handouts. When you create a society of scroungers and a culture of laziness then what do you expect?

@BrianCrealy June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

6 years on the housing list is the same as been on the first rung of a ladder😮😮😮😮😮BRIAN FROM IRELAND 🇮🇪

@tamirose8562 June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

Homeless is when you're sleeping on the streets.

@Mebraveheart June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

Be strong you will get there hope you get somewhere soon

@marcdb1412 June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

I watched a similar documentary made in Siberia. It seems that it's against the law to not have a room where to live in. People are not allowed to live down the street, live in a car or stay on a sidewalk.

@moonlightshadow2664 June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

BS…get off your backside and build houses for these people. I'm the meantime buck yourselves up and provide these people with a roof over their heads. Those politicians are talking absolute rubbish. Waffle, waffle, waffle. What a pathetic excuse for a government.

@moonlightshadow2664 June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

I'm in the North of Ireland, so I'm not very clued up about all this , but how come migrants are housed immediately?

@DeeFibbs-c1h June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

Its worse in the UK

@ggandbb1702 June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm

we are on HAP in Ireland. its ridiculously hard to find a place . took us 2 years as a family of 4. and no one wanted to accept HAP. they'd ignore you. it was a nightmare and an extremely stressful time in our lives.. we lived in a mobile home at that time. over the 2 years I had 3 or 4 viewings only. all other emails I sent were ignored. we were blessed to finally find a place jn a new town but it took 2 year and that was 5 years ago, the problems are far worse now and so much harder fir others.

Just when I thought everyone in Ireland lives in a caravan

@kingsofweb June 9, 2025 - 1:32 pm
