A monument to the stupidity of the era…

Was listening to a discussion on this yesterday. It seems this block of flats is a danger to people due to its condition. Seemingly in this case knocking the flats is the best and cheapest option.

“NAMA had appointed a property receiver, Lisneys”

Is this the same shower that did their utmost to drive the property bubble ? Now getting business as receivers ?

The photo above does not at all represent what that block of flats looks like now. All the windows are broken, it’s been completely vandalised and ive heard that anything that had any value inside the flats had been stolen out of them. I know people that live in the estate and their hearts are broken asking the local council to do something about the vandalism going on over the years and finally something is being done. I understand people saying about social housing but I’ve seen these flats and I wouldn’t but my dog in them!! That pic should not have been used for this article!!

Will any councillors go to jail for neglect of duties? Will the town planner go to jail for failing in his responsibility? Wil the County Manager go to jail as he is ultimately responsible ? Never. Its total corruption and stinks of brown envelopes. A simple paper trail of who signed off on planning and see who got the money. To think that government want to give more power to local councils – its criminal.

Such a wasteful society, an utter disgrace.

Do people realize that the dismantling of this so called apartment block has been stopped ,by the “good people ” from the parks and wild life service……. Housemartins and Bats in residence, didn’t you know!!!!!!. It is worth going and having a look at this monument to the greed of the developer. Pity for the birds but what about the humans who have to live in the sewer gas environment ,that is their house/home in that estate, where is the concerned state body to protect them???????.

I think NAMA was formed less than 3 years ago (it might feel like longer). Very little chance NAMA could have got ‘decent money’ on these flats even if they were up and running…

People’s homes being taken everyday and these guys are going to demolish them? They should become social housing, this country is going to need them.

To be fair it really depends on the situation you’re in. If your like me (just moved back into my parents) and your only outgoing is fifty a week for rent then there is nothing really to complain about.

Couldn’t agree more Frank

Longford?

A prison?

Is the gov’s plan to indefinitely hold and/or quietly demolish all this property ?? Seems as thou their artificial inflating rent prices so landlords can keep paying their mortgage on a 2nd, 3rd, 4th… property.

Another thing about social housing – why do people feel entitled to be housed twice simply because they would like to moe or relocate when others can’t get a place to live. People are given perfectly good houses and then after 5 or 10 years these houses are boarded up and the taxpayer must rehouse them. If anti social behaviour is the main cause how it is up to others all the time to pay?

These apartments are a pure disgrace and not suitable for habitation.All properties build by this developer should be examined for fire regulations and other building safety regulations nAnd I am sure this developer is not the only chancer out there There is PRIORY HALL and how many more PRIORY HALLS are out there? … Planners and Developers heads should roll over the likes of this

Demolishing brand new properties?
Says a lot for most of the properties that were thrown up in the boom.
To small, badly built, no services, badly located etc, etc, etc.

Great news that there is no body on housing waiting lists or homeless in this county

But, you know what.
If NAMA didn’t wait this long and they put these properties on the market 3-4 years ago, they probably would have got decent money for them.

This is a perfect example of how NAMA(and co) have destroyed the property market and the country.
