It’s the great replacement and it’s working.
I fear you're right - I get my Irish citizenship through my father; yet I had to jump through hoops to prove my eligibility.

Any Adbul or Vlad who is fresh off the boat will be fasttracked to citizenship - I can see that witch McEntee doing that.

I don't recognise my town most days save for the pub at the end of the road but how long before they have them shut down on the grounds they are culturally insensitive ??

Most landlords just want a steady income with steady rules. If they know what the rules are going to be for a few years and can get their rent, most are happy. It's the not getting rent for years when "tenants" won't leave and whistling your ducks to water to get back rent that's a major problem. The changing rules that are all pro tenant are driving them away.

I've family members who are and were landlords. The parents and sister sold theirs a few years ago due to the changing regulations. The bother only has one left in Ireland (and will probably sell out when the tenants leave) and is investing in the UK instead. Main reason, it would be at worst 5 to 6 months of no rent if a tenant stopped paying.

There is a hotel in my town that spent a fortune on converting the back area/smoking section to a beer garden.

We spent a lot of money in there from late 2020 to when pubs were back to normal, nowhere else to go under Covid rules, could only drink outside.

He's now packed full of these scamming fckers and is closed "to all but residents" (fakugees and the darkest fcking Ukranians you've ever seen).

I personally hope whe (if?) the Government get some sense that he goes tits up and loses everything. Greedy bstard.
I wouldn't be surprised that when the hotel reverts to taking local business that the locals flock back. A lot of people have short memories that way.

I met the owner of my house for the first time a few weeks ago - I've lived her nearly 16 years and keep the place in good order, I pay rent on time in full and have never been a second late - that is all she needs!!

Unfortunately you don't fit the sensationalistic headlines that some of the left and the media want. You do the decent honourable thing and pay your bills on time.

Reminds me of when I was living in the midlands for 2 years. I had an apartment rented and when the letting agents did the inspections, they commented on it being cleaner and neater when when I started. They seemed shocked that I wanted to keep it neat and clean....

That's an unreasonable excuse to refuse to take you, complain to the NTA.

Why would they accuse you of racism? it happened or it didn't, the colour of the driver is irrelevant.

Just listening to Radio 1 and one thing just dawned on me. It looks like those giving out about the eviction bam being lifted are those who want a free house while the rest of us are working to pay for them....

What landlords want now is fill their properties up with gimmigrants and fakeugees and get their monthly income guaranteed by the state.
Hotels will reap the summer tourist trade and return to take in yahoos for the coming winter, everyone is a winner unless you’re Irish.
The eviction ban never covered tenants who don't pay their rent (or those who wreak the place....a no fault eviction ban it was called)?

The NTA won't accuse them of racism. If they are worried about a few wokes on an internet forum then they need to grow a pair.

Nah, I don’t need to - these days I just have to identify that I have a pair and you all must acknowledge my magnificent bollocks!!!

Better get used of it, we will have to ask Permission to piss when the great replacement happens. Which is only around the corner.
