...2,066 ghost estates;...29 developments;...137 sites;...xyz homes;...3 million euro;...is this a masquerade of real estate designed to encompass all - and thereby cloud - a people's sins and virtues ?
If some of these houses or estates are demolished, will that not make Ms Jan O' Sullivan Minister for A-, De- or Un-housing. Will demolishing perfectly good housing estates not deprive the state of controversial Household Services Charges. Demolishing perfectly well built houses just because they can't be sold at a profit to some privateer is like the butter mountains and dumped fish stocks of the European Union so as to maintain market mechanisms, all while most of Africa starves. United Left Alliance (ULA) TDs in Dail Eireann got it right - "... the economics of the madhouse!" The madhouse indeed, which the financial lunatics are obviously still in control of.
Where is the legacy issue here? Separating the question of NAMA's custody of more than enough homes to designate 3,200 of them "suitable" for social housing, are we to believe there is some kind of triage "patch 'em up" system in place? In all cases the good Minister O'Sullivan describes, these descriptions are control issues of estates, not the prospects of a cohesive resolution serving the "highest and best" (as in just) use of the property.
