        With 65 million people (1 in every 113) now on the move in our world, why wouldn’t Ireland step up and do what we can at home and abroad so ‘hope and history rhyme’ for all.

        Ireland does not seem capable of dealing with ca 10k homeless with ca 3k childern in silly hotel & other half measure solutions , its like any which way but right ! - citizens are finding it hard to secure accomodation, when is the last time you tried to rent or get welfare ?

        I agree that the Irish government’s response to homelessness is insufficient but I don’t think it’s a zero sum game. We can do better on several fronts at the same time, they don’t have to competing agendas.

        Zero sum ! ? - 24 hours to sort banking was my kind of zero sum , this is a huge negative sum to the vulnerable with positive and very questionable profits for others - tools down - look up - take stock - its not a hard one to solve ! [ will look up zero sum ]

        Will ask another question here - no one answers questions I have posed so far. Is this a one way channel for spin/propaganda or do you believe in communication? On what date will the vote take place?

        Incredible horseshit. The UN security council is a sick joke that has elected Pakistan,Saudi Arabia and Chad among others countries with deplorable and barbaric human rights record's.

        Have they got nothing better to do at home? Have they noticed the thousands of homeless and hundreds of thousands awaiting medical treatment. This is shameful.
