Glebe House on St Agnes’ Rd in Crumlin went on fire yesterday.

You wouldn't be able to tell, but this landmark Georgian house has 'protected structure' status.

Fires are remarkably common in these types of properties. In 2019, Ballyfermot's De La Salle Monastery was similarly set on fire three times in two days after it had been sold to a private developer five months earlier.

The NGO-left under the guise of Raise The Roof along with People Before Profit occupied Glebe House for a day back in 2018 to protest the housing situation — the same type who support infinity immigration and see no correlation with the lack of affordable homes.

The house had been vacant for about three years.

It sounds like the protest worked as in 2020 the site got planning permission to build 152 apartments in six storey blocks. Locals were outraged and started a gofundme to oppose the development.

As a protected structure Glebe House would be refurbished as part of the deal, but perhaps that's even off the table now...

Wow I wonder what the cause of the collapse of “liveable, culturally rich, affordable Dublin” you grew up in was, Éamonn

What has changed in Ireland within the past 2-3 decades? At least we have foreign takeaways, abortion, gay ‘marriage’ and trans rights

"Once Dublin was a city of adventure and romance. Those days are over and Dublin has become drab, respectable and dead...I walk through those streets I once fought to defend...It was this spirit of smugness and deadness that we fought against. The spirit of liberal democracy."

Helen was flying a kite for giving them all driving licenses yesterday as an excuse not to house any herself. She can't use that excuse now...
