Some of the 600+ lots up for auction from Clonliffe College Seminary in Drumcondra after more than 30 acres of the grounds were sold to Hines Real Estate, which made a submission to Dublin city council and the Department of Housing to accommodate up to 620 asylum seekers there.
“The contents of this college are a window into a significant part of Irish culture in the 19th and 20th centuries, and it is amazing to see the variety of styles accumulated in this collection over the years,” said auctioneer Niall Mullen.
“It is an honour to facilitate the movement of these interesting elements of Irish history out into the wider world, especially given that their sale heralds a new chapter of this building’s life as we open our arms to those fleeing conflict.”
"It's the last of its type … this type of auction … they're becoming less and less.
"You don't have many institutions of this size and with this history going back 170 years."

"This is not to take the side of the Salvation Army, I personally support the strategy of squatting in or picketing housing sites, but it must be done with a clear intention in mind —the decommodification of Irish housing and the housing of Irish people. The “House the Irish” protest in Mulhuddart a number of years ago was an organic local attempt to strike back at globalism, at the housing of foreigners above the Irish in need, and was an act that should be applauded and replicated at large —international landlords should be forced into costly court proceedings, or into agreeing to let or sell their properties to Irishmen and women at fair, liveable rents"

The Battle for Moral Superiority is well and truly underway in Dublin as republican socialists take on shadowy international financiers (a Methodist charity in this case) in a bid to out-cuck themselves for foreigners. This month “Socialist Republicans”…

Supply & Demand
Late Stage Ireland
Up to 400K new homes are needed over the next ten years according to the Construction Industry Federation's James Benson.
Consequently 50K construction workers are required to build them, but only 8,600 people are signing up for apprenticeships each year.
The entry wage rate is €15/hour while the average cost of rent is now €1,600/month. That means you'd have to work 106 hours just to afford somewhere to live.
You can forget about owning a home as you need to be on an average income of €100k to access the market.
Each home takes 20 to 26 weeks to build and 50% of the total cost goes on taxes, levies & contributions.
Meanwhile the govt wants to pay construction firms €100k for each apartment built.
The industry had relied on cheap foreign labour which drove Irish people out, but now the eastern Europeans have gone home due to Covid, and they're staying home as it's no longer worth it.
Nothing about any of this is sustainable. The only solution is address the demand side.

Perhaps the most accurate map of the ancient provinces of Ireland, from Ramsay Colles’ book The History of Ulster: From the Earliest Times to the Present Day (1919).
Colors reflect the political divisions of Ireland during Roman times and the pre-Roman Iron Age, according to ancient sources. Ulster (Ulaidh) in pink, Leinster (Laighin) in gray and yellow (Meath, shown in yellow, was originally part of Leinster, becoming a separate kingdom in early medieval times as a result of invasions by tribes from the northwest, the Uí Neill), Munster (Mumhain) in green, and Connacht (Connachta) in blue.
According to the Irish tale Aided Chrimthainn meic Fidaig (The Death of Crimthann, son of Fidach), the area now known now as county Clare was originally part of Connacht, but was conquered by Munster in the 4th century AD during a violent war between the two provinces.

Non-Ukrainian related asylum applications set to reach 13,000 for 2022 in Ireland.
This would be the highest number since 2003 and far in excess of the pre-pandemic level of applications of 3,408 in 2019.

"Migrant workers like Connolly" 🤦🏻♂️
Connolly was an Irishman, and he would have classed Bacik in the 'foreign or traitor' category.
Free movement of labour has depressed wages. A managing director at Lidl has admitted as much.
International finance capital demands limitless cheap labour. That's why the migrants are here at all.
It's why the Central Bank has stated there are not enough migrants arriving to keep wages down.
It's why almost all ordinary buyers are now blocked out of Dublin's new homes' market.
International finance prefers renters.
Adrian Cummins, CEO of the Restaurants Association says he wants more cheap labour from outside the EU as even eastern Europeans are getting sniffy at the standard of living here.
The Labour Party agree and voted unanimously at their national conference to expand free movement for migrants and give them voting rights to boot.
They need more wage slaves to vote for their deception so the cycle of poverty and dependency continues.

"Who is to blame? What determines the rate of wages? The competition among workers for employment... and owing to this fact the Irish employer is able to take advantage of the helplessness of his poorer fellow-countrymen and compel them to work for less...
In all private employment in Ireland the same state of matters prevails... the employing class in Ireland... take advantage of the crowded state of the labour market and use it to depress the wages of their workers..."

"Ireland is in the throes of a new invasion. But whereas all other invasions have been invasions of fighting men, this last invasion is an invasion of men who have declined to fight [...] Here in Ireland we have another kind of dilution of labour [...] It is a new plantation, this time with the blessing and connivance of the Parliamentary leaders of the Irish race at home and abroad."

Describes Ivana Bacik succinctly:
"The dispersion of the clans, of course, put an end to the leadership of the chiefs, and in consequence, the Irish aristocracy being all foreign or traitor origin, Irish patriotic movements fell entirely into the hands of the middle class, and became for the most part, simply idealised expressions of middle-class interest."
