This interview with the Green Party Housing Minister is quite something.

“It was put to him that reinstating the eviction ban, and keeping people in the accommodation they already have, would help reduce the growing homeless figures.

He responded: “Well then it turns into a communist state, that’s what you are talking about. So we purchase everybody’s property, is it?”

@HistoPol While Ireland’s politics can be wince making, we have not yet descended to the level of being in Britain, in their politics.

They are bottoming out, small wonder. Hard to beat.
Plus, Ireland has the EU framework that the Tories are fast dismantling.
A supranational bill of rights, if you will.

In earlier centuries, there'd be an uprising or a revolution.
