Department of Housing data shows that a total of 39,065 new social homes had been delivered in the five-year period to the end of 2020. This included 22,977 new builds or refurbished local authority properties that had been taken out of use. Local authorities had bought 10,867 homes for tenants and leased 5,221, a form of provision criticised for leaving public bodies without ownership of the property asset when the lease ends. “No other local government issue generates so much of a councillor’s workload as is the case with housing and homelessness,” said Mary Hoade, president of the Association of Irish Local Government, the representative body for the State’s 949 local councillors.

Justice Time for Dublin/Monaghan Families

The scene of the 1974 bombing on South Leinster Street near the center of Dublin. By Mairead Carey and Louise Carroll, Contributors The bombs went off during the Dublin rush-hour, at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, May 17, 1974. Three car bombs exploded on Parnell Street, Talbot Street and South Leinster Street in the center of Dublin. An hour and a half later another bomb exploded on North Road, in the border town of Monaghan. There had been no warnings. In all, 33 people, including a pregnant woman, were killed and hundreds were injured. It was the greatest loss of life in any one day of The Troubles and the worst atrocity ever committed in the Republic. Yet no one was arrested, charged, or prosecuted.
