ewerk 26168 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 It has been a growing problem in Dublin for a while now. Property prices have once again been growing rapidly while wages haven't. Combined with a government that has pretty much been skint for much of the last decade there's a severe shortage of affordable social housing in the city. Though the lack of affordable housing has been an issue at least two decades and something that successive governments have not attempted to resolve (something that Ireland has in common with the UK).

Ayatollah Hermione 12736 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Checked my hands and, just as I thought, straight as an arrow. You’d never catch me lusting for another man’s embrace. Nor the strong arms, the overwhelming, musky scent, the piercing eyes or the scultped frame. No, sir. Not here. Not in this parish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
