Leo to be fair to him doesn’t even hide the fact that he does not give two f..ks about ordinary people 😂
"we know it's not as simple as building houses"
"what's your solution?"
"well we're building more houses"
So smug Leo. The sooner he gets his EU or UN job the better.
Spot on
Klaus's rent boy
@@stevenmurphy2782 🤣
How about sending homeless children to camp on Varadkar property or near his home?
Look at martha vineyard in america when they sent migrants to wealthy area. They sent in miltary and kicked everyone of them out. Homeless and refugees are only for poor areas
If we had the gumption we should set them up in glamping units on the plinth of the Dail , on the footpath outside and down in the underground car park they have.
"We" being people who genuinely care.
Leo’s constant blinking is a sign that he regrets doing this interview. Love to see it
just watch his body language. He's dying inside
Lol his face dropped when he was asked straight up about the crisis he caused! Because in the Dail he can dodge these questions by just not showing up!
he is thinking in the dinner later
Not true as what he is thinking is how can I f,,k my boyfriend tonight and get all this stuff that doesn't affect me to go away and who he can blame for it .
Ye with rte interviews he knows what he going to be asked beforehand
Varadkar what an incompetent FAILED politician, avoiding answers and telling MORE lies. RESIGN!
He's jammed too far up his own hole to resign Fabio
And no one even voted for him.... Remember the term "caretaker government"
He did...
Fair play to Tommy he stood up and went for it respect to him
Who the f is tommy bowe when this country was gone in 2007 fine gael brought it back and the way people.thanked them for it was to put back the people that wrecked in the first place so stick to u rugby bowe OK
True
Note how Varadkar never speaks from the heart but always like some kind of a clinical robot
He's an android built in Brussels
25000 new homes and hundred thousands of foreigners entering the country every year ....
Twenty five thousand homes are being built for Ukrainians Leo, don’t pull that one.
It’s a fooking disgrace
2 weeks ago construction crew walked off building site when they were told the houses were for Ukraine refugees. No word of a lie.
@@ExtraterrestrialsareReall cap
@@ExtraterrestrialsareReall FairPlay to them but they’ll have poles on site in few hours I’d say joke.
Would you blame them, would the Ukraine government do the same for Irish people I don't think so.
How can you plan effectively for future demand when you allow 100,000 people in to the country since February? No mention of that lads.
2% of our population is ukrainian now and the husbands with the 1940 tattoos will be arriving soon.
ireland has a long history of seeking refuge in other countries homelands, its only right we do the same for others. if you cant advocate for refugees AS WELL AS the rights of native irish people, you dont deserve to call yourself irish at all
@@MrDoomDawg We didn't get free housing or welfare. In fact their were signs saying no irish, no blacks and no dogs
@@MrDoomDawg no problem giving shelter but can you point to a country in the west where FORCED unvetted unlimited mass immigration has worked?
And we're are we going to get the houses the jobs the money, the medical, the schools, the land we do live on a small island, for the worlds refugees every year, and does that mean we should have full access to countries like Nigeria, or China
Varadkar doesn't care in the slightest.
They're letting him deflect and redirect. This isn't a real interview. Question him and push him to stick to the questions being asked!
🍀We have no houses for the people👨👩👦👦 (children)👨👩👧👧 who live in the 👫country, but they always bring new residents, immigrants into the country who also need shelter. How is that supposed to work please.❓❓❓☮
He only has his lover to worry about, hard working families are not in his vocabulary.
Most TDs have 10 properties each that they are renting and price gouging.
Building homes that people can't afford.... Great strategy
Leo doesn't like hard facts or a hard interview tommy nailed him we need more of this they need to be held accountable for the state of the nation
Leo give himself pay rise from our money!
Well he doesnt seem to make any sense. On the one hand he says homelessness is more complicated than just building homes. Then when asked well what he's going to do about it he says well we're build more and more homes!!!! How flipping insulting. Why hadn't the presenter picked up on this and pin him down. instead of letting him waffle......
Get them out.
While hotels in tiny villages dotted around the country are being filled with Ukranian refugees, often doubling the size of the village overnight our own people are being left on the streets.
Do you think Leo cares about irish people. None of them do.
I live in one of them villages .they are loving life stacking up d euros n sending them home
An entire national school out here has been taken over. Locals are now driving 40-60 minutes roundtrip to drop kids and the same to pick up. Whilst the "refugees" get free bus service!
@@E_O_S_ : this is the scam, eastern Europe will get the same treatment eventually too. We did it years ago, the merry go round of mass immigration and fukking up of countries continues unabated.
The "free movement of people" part of the EU needs to be ended yesterday, how da funk can a country plan for the future when 430 million people can move in any time they like?
They’re not even Ukrainians anymore.
The 200M for Ukraine part is not needed, sorry but it should be for our own people.
Ukranian resources and Irish recources should BOTH be provided.BOTH Ukranians and Irish people should be getting more from the government- one people getting resources isn't an attack on the other people. Politicians WANT us ordinary people angry at each other to distract from the governments failures.
Affordable housing SHOULD be for both Irish AND Ukrainians.
@@MrDoomDawg
I agree that the government wants us turning on one another but at the same time how can we keep taking in refugees if we have no where to put them. It's wrong to tell anybody seeking refugee that they'll be looked after in ireland if they won't be. I believe our government cares more about housing refugees as it'll reflect badly on them globally if they can't. Thats why Irish people get overlooked. If we question this we're called racist, if we accept it, things will only get worse. I think we're all pawns, whether we're irish or Ukrainian in a sick game played by the elites.
@@MrDoomDawg the ukrainians are not our people, they should not be a priority in any sense
And autistic secondary school kids do not have the supports needed in Dublin! The bureacracy is UNREAL. From the government agencies to the school principals. They don't just get ''cured'' of autism when they leave primary school, Leo. Help them too!
The irish government fights tooth and nail to deny services to autistic children.
And it only gets worse in adulthood
It does actually, I have Autism and I'm 22 and a load of places I applied for jobs won't take me
As Autistic person. Not only is it not cured the bullying gets worse, as people are more socially equiped to spot the odd one out in secondary and work gets million times harder. I even say more important in secondary
@@seantreacy6190 Sad because Elon Musk and bill gates have autism. Autism is linked to high IQ not a death sentence
“Unfortunately that’s the world we live in, things have to be paid for”… just not by the people who actually caused all the problems or expensive mistakes
Varadkar is devoid of any human emotion when confronted with hearing how bad things are for people. He does not give a toss for Irish people and never will. What baffles me is that Irish people voted for him. This country deserves the leaders it gets and it will be the same for the next 100 years. If your under 35, GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!
Pretty accurate, he has always been the same, would pop up on the chatty Sat & Sun radio shows, loving the fawning attention of Marion (RIP) or John Ryan or other partisan luviee hacks , mouthing off about every gov department except his own . He would squirm if they accidentally questioned his area.
But now we have the Three Stooges and the likes of (one example) Michael Ring style TD's , bellowing down in Mayo to the plebs about the turf cutting ban , but rushing back to Dublin to vote for it and enjoy the kind of highlights that TD's can experience in Dublin while away from the peasants.
I do agree with you on the "GET OUT OF HERE " advice, but recently I am encountering those age brackets saying precisely that, and yet they don't blame gov or woke agendas or neo liberal gobshites , they seem to think it's some hidden hand of doom that is shunting them out of the country.
If Ireland Inc were on the Titanic , they would be the lads in the lounge smoking the biggest cigars , laughing at plebs running for their lives and Michael Martin chuckling "just wait it will bounce back up shortly" , Leo on the wireless getting his say in first, and the sneaky Eamonn Ryan would have pushed some oul wan off a lifeboat and jumped in with a big fox fur hiding his face.
Shin Fein would not have travelled on it at all, they would be on the SS California .
I'm leaving soon myself in my mid fifties , sick of it all.
Absolutely correct.

Where do I go
@@laneproductions9549 Germany, UK, maybe Spain.
This is impossible to listen to
Its insulting, no answers given & no acknowledgement of accountability
800,000 people have come into Ireland over the last 20 years. There is your cause of the housing crisis, yet no one will say it. It is also the reason for long hospital waiting lists and a shortage of school places. We cannot have open borders in Ireland.
So you open to make a deal that all other countries should close its borders to Irish citizens for that very same reason. No one should migrate to any other county and remain where they’re born.
@@stannats2637 So you want more Roma Gypsies, fake African asylum seekers all who take up housing and seem to stay on welfare endlessly. It should be controlled. Do you think someone from Eastern Europe, Africa or other parts of the world get housed before Irish Citizens? We need skilled workers to migrate to Ireland not welfare bums.
@@stannats2637 I don't think it's a case that people shouldn't travel. But you can not bring hundreds of thousands of people into a country this size, no extra hospitals etc. What country in the world ever left there own citizens on the street so as the Irish could go and live there. Everywhere the Irish went they had to battle for everything. We were always told that we couldn't fix our homeless problem. As far back as enda Kenny. Remember a homeless man died on the street outside dail eireann. Which embarrassed them for a bit. But now we can find and build houses for hundreds of thousands, so as our greedy politicians can be big boys in Europe
Don't blame ordinary people trying to make a life for themselves on the failures of your government, thats what politicians want. Blaming each other lets the government get away with it scott free
Globally most countries have a similar story in common. 1% that control politicians/ media / corporations set and control the narrative and pull the strings and when it suits cut the strings of politicians who ultimately have to answer to the 1%, while we throw tomatoes at the puppets to keep us distracted from those in the shadows controlling the worlds wealth. This merry go round will continue whoever is in charge unfortunately.
Wrong man we need a real leader.
He’s not a man.
& never confuse education with intelligence
We need more north Africans and middle eastern men to solve this housing crisis
@Ruprecht, would love to know what they contribute to Irish society, I have never seen or heard of a homeless black family, wonder why
No Ukrainian children homeless in Ireland they walked into a home after getting off a plane ! If he can do it for them he can do it for ours ! Why won’t they make Crh pay for their dodgey blocks

@@powderedtoastman3093 Also why can't the Ukrainians relocate to a different part of their own country, plenty of money gone to Ukraine to help the people there
25000 built.
How many bought by multinational vulture funds
Lies lies lies. I applied for the first home scheme, it was called rebuilding Ireland home loan scheme. It’s an utter disgrace. The percentage of people who are approved is less than 10%. Myself and my partner ticked every box and still the local authority has been the greatest waste of time. They make you jump through hoops for months and months. It’s coming up to 3 years since we applied and have heard nothing in the last 9 months.
The gaul of him to get up there shrug his shoulders to the huge climb of population of over 5million people, when he full well knows all the homeless are the indigenous Irish people.
.....Homelessness is more complex than just building houses...... Well the solution is more supply (of houses) 😆🙄
I had to raise an eyebrow hearing that hahahaa
No wonder we have this crisis- he's away with the faires!
Came here to comment this... what an absolute spoofer
It's not so complex to house refugees
We can't / won't provide for our own.. But we'll ship people in from all corners of the earth & take care of them. But we aren't to be bitter. I'll NEVER blame the non nationals, I'll FOREVER blame our government.
Leo the liar..he couldn't care less!! Too many foreigners coming into the country so stop that and take care of our people. He'll NEVER be homeless or without and never was so he'll never understand.
Ireland is the biggest charity on this planet at this stage. Close the doors for 10 yrs. enough is enough. People are dying on the streets and this brain donor in his high tower doesn’t give a f&€k.
Ireland is defunct on so many levels it is unreal - no wonder we have brain drain, again, and the youth leaving in their droves - future knowledge lost to the massive corporate here now, who will simple move somewhere else when we cant provide to their needs and ask them to pay too much for a skill-base they cant get anymore - come one Ireland, we are verging on an unsustainable model for basic life, now, and in the future - again!

Well done Tommy. Leo be ok with his big salary and bonus. Why has public to pay for mistakes of developers.
Shortage of housing.... so lets put 10% levy on concrete and concrete products that will solve the problem.
10000 homeless Irish & 50000 refugees been told they will have a house within 4 months. How can this be??
Because Governments get a money kickback for every refugee. With Ukraine being the most corrupt country in Europe and the money laundering capital of the world a lot of people see it as a huge investment. They play the game and virtue signal that it is all because of the “poor people of Ukraine”. When in reality it is the same as cattle at auction. I take them from you and I make big bucks in the mean time. We will house them beside some working class Irish homes and forget about them then.
Cha ching€€€ thats wat
When you have sheep as a government what do you expect, bend over backwards for bringing in refugees, not their fault. They are getting everything that the Irish people should be getting. Families on the waiting list for houses getting pushed back to let the refugees have them, not right. It's worse its gonna get.
Charity is an industry, ngo’s have a massively inflated say in how ireland spends its money and our government prioritise pleasing the eu over its own people.
Dystopia beckons 😢
But at least Tommy is not fawning over him.
"We had to put a 10% tax on concrete otherwise we would have to raise taxes......." ~ Leotard.
I have to say when I seen the headline I thought ahh here we go again.
But FairPlay to him at least he asked him bout the forgotten Irish ☘️.
Nah man, you have it backwards. Leo and the lefties are bringing us ever closer to our glorious utopia. He loves a bit of marxist transition period where everyone becomes so desperate that we all end up fully dependent on the state. That is the ultimate goal, then we can never speak up comrade
Fine Gael have had 12 years to sort it out. The people have woken up, fine gael have no interest in helping the ordinary working-class person. Looking after the big farmers and such. I believe there should be a land reform where the owners of these lands must be publicized for building of accommodation
....he is delusional. Man has no idea that the bare minimum isn't enough.
Leo said the concrete levy would only impact the cost of new houses. Yeah well the 160 billion borrowed since 2008 was mainly to prop up the cost of existing houses. He must think young people are completely thick.
He speaks softly and pleasantly but he is the one who privatised the provision of rented accommodation. He is the one who stopped building council housing. His party was part of selling off the thousands upon thousands of surplus houses that we had after the crash, to vulture funds at ten thousand euro each. Houses that are now being rented out at a minimum of eighteen thousand euro for a single year. Meaning that the vulture funds and private investors are making profits of fifty percent. These funds have received profits that have payed for these properties eight to ten times over and most of the rent money paid to these funds is paid by the government as rent subsidies.

I was one of the homeless people and what I seen getting thrown around 23 different hotels was kid, 2-3 that couldn't walk without holding onto something, when you see a mother a young kids and imagine that everything they own is in there room, the children ages 2-3 are constantly walking around the room and holding the bed, the locker, anything bar walking around on their own, in the little garden these little kids were just plonked down BECAUSE they COULDN'T EVEN WALK WITHOUT AGAIN HOLDING ONTO SOMETHING...ALSO, DURING MY PRIVATE RESIDENCY I FOUND OUT THAT 67% OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE AGENTS 67% OF THE TIME A TD OWNED THE PROPERTY, I ALSO RANG INTO 103.8 AND DISGUSTED THIS AND IT WAS CONFIRMED, THEN A NEW LAW CAME IN, ALL PRE 63 HOUSES HAD TO BE BROUGHT UP TO TODAY'S STANDARD, SO INSTEAD OF TDS DOING THIS, THEY UPPED THE AGENTS COMMISSION FROM 12/HALF % TO A MASSIVE 28%, THE AGENCY I WAS WITH SOLD MOST PROPERTIES ON THE SOUTH CIRCLUR RD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE...THIS IS KNOWLEDGE THAT UF LIKE THE AGENT I HAD WAS 20 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME, SO I PLANTED IN HIS HEAD, " IF I ASK YOU A QUESTION YOU MUST KNOW THAT I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER ", THIS IS SOMETHING I USED ON MY KIDS, AND IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM ON HIM, THE STUFF ID FIND OUT ABOUT AND JUST SAY TO HIM AND HED SAY HOW ARE YOU FINDING OUT THIS INFORMATION...TDS EVERYWHERE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HOMELESS SITUATION BECAUSE PUTTING A RENT CAP ON PRIVATE PROPERTY MENT PUTTING A CAP ON THE MONEY THEY WERE AND ARE BRINGING IN, HOTELS BUILT EVERYWHERE AND THEY CAN'T BUILD APARTMENTS, EACH DOUBLE ROOM IS AN APARTMENT...REALL DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME....
Wow!
This might sound mad to you,, But I made a decision a long time ago that I wasn't going to bring kids into this world if I couldn't afford to give them decent life without others having to pay for the roof over their heads, gas, esb, food, school, laptops, phones, collage, transport, doctors, etc ,! But a serious group of people who live off the backs of the Irish taxpayers know when they have kids and lots of them it's all Free living.
@@GG-kf8ox you mean like FF and FG TD's, because belive me, they milk more out of ireland than all the economicly enslaved poor people ever have, but because they wear a suit it's okay even though they have more than enough to survive on, it's okay when they purposely don't declare their assests like 11 houses they were renting out like a certain FF TD who just so happened to be vetoing legislation to cap spiralling upwards rent?

How can we house all these refugees and have our own people on the streets
Leo: Prints money.
The economy: Inflation.
Leo: Prints money.
Government: We have housing crisis so we are building 2,000 in 10 years
Also government: Imports 60,000 people every 3 months and has a law every refugee gets a house within 3 months
Unless you reduce immigration the housing crisis will get extremely worse.
It's the fault of the rich Irish and the REIT's (Real Estate Investment Trusts), not migrants.

Ugh nobody voted for him.... Hung dail... Pandemic... Snuck back in under the guise of a caretaker government... Look back through your notes before spitting venom at your neighbour!
What about ALL the empty homes around this country … Sitting there idle boarded up and owned by the banks …
This is shameful … In any country this is not acceptable … Yeah there’s many reasons WHY there is homelessness
It’s called greed … The amount of money sent to the EU each month is beyond comprehension … Having those funds remain within this country could be enough of at least GO a long way toward addressing the crisis …
Imagine …. this IS 2022 we have homeless and Starving people living on the streets
How can that be acceptable ?????
Too true. That, and the rich landlords buying up houses, then living overseas while they collect peoples money. People deserve affordable housing as a fundamental human right, and Irish housing in the hands of huge corporations and overseas landlords are making it impossible. The supply is there, but the government would much rather listen to big business than the voices of their own people
Leo is who the Irish are permitted to have as their leader. He is just another modern day Herod.
All the homelessness who can should set up outside his and other politicians house.
I'll help them pitch their tents, & then I'll put the politicians in them instead & give them a taste of the reality.

They're fixing the housing crisis by increasing the price of houses... Seems like a smart way to do it Leo congrats.
Yeah, 25000 homes Built in Ireland. how many went to the real Irish people.
Over 5 years in Dublin only with him in government and Martin Ryan Labour back up by social party and People before Profit. Over 300 homeless people dieing on our streets in Dublin
The government in power 11 years show no empathy or imagination how to help families in homeless shelters or hotels or on long council list. Many families are waiting 10 or more years . A government who continously deny, 60.000 plus, on council waiting lists around tge country. These waiting list can identify peoples, who are renting homes that in many case Dail TD's, are themselves are t6he landlords. These along with other landlords are charging rent on par with a mortgage repayment. Yet many renters are denied a mortgage by the central bank. We do not want the 2008 bubble, that this very government denied was happening, until the banks fsiled by incompetent currupt bankers, poor government governance and FRAUD on a scale, it nearly BANKRUPT our country. We the low or middle income earners, are still paying FOR that INCOMPETENCE in a 3 party government. It was on their watch, their lack of oversight, we will continue pay for the theft of 64billion. We are now pay for the panademic that companies are price gouging, yet what is government doing Give our pensioners €12 per week, to the already over priced
The government needs to stop these priced gouging companies. Give a couple of extra € extra for fuel allowance that has been eaten up by the first couple of price increases on electricity & gas as well as home heating oil, with more to come,that keep them happy. Goverment pays a small fortune in rent supports nearly €30 million plus last year, yet refuse to build affordable homes or council owned homes. This government continue to deny homelessness children their basic human rights of a secure home. They do not want to know the damage to their sense of self worth children living with homelessness has. Or. how damaging psychology, it is on children without a home. They deny middle-class or even the elderly a home. Yet they promote building homes that are priced out of the ordinary workers income limits. Try buyng a home on €35-40.000, the realistic average wage, Yet monthly rents in many cases cost the same as a mortgage. We are bring in RIGHTLY SO, our share of emigrated families from Ukraine,. Being realistic here, where are the homes for these families and many others in asylum reception centres aroundthe country,. Where do they go? We need council owned homes on the scale to those built after the 2 world war, to free up the lack of homes for those that can afford to purchase one.
Ireland 2040 is running smoothly I see Leo. Thanks for cramming an island with limited housing forcing the natives and even the foreign nationals to struggle, real cool.
more people coming in than houses being built

No mention of all the new houses going to economic migrants!

Not a word about ‘Ukrainians’ and all the other fake refugees getting preference over the homeless Irish. The 30,000 ‘homes’ are being built for these ‘refugees’, no doubt about it. Tommy Bowe and their ilk are controlled opposition. Varadkar and all our politicians are fully controlled by the WEF, EU, UN, etc and are in favour of putting the boot on genuine Irish people and killing the young Irish generation of any hope. The budget is a ‘reward’ to the still gullible Irish for 3 years of jackboot tactics used on them to control their compliance. They want the real Irish out and the fake ‘refugees’ in.

Lying eyes
Id rather someone bring Leo Varadkar and M.martin to task about them saying they did not attend a NATO summit last year. A summit we as a neutral people have no right to attend. And for M.Martin to then publicly deny he was at the meeting as regards joining Nato and that he was meeting with other NON nato leaders who so happened to be in the same building that day.. If this is true then why is he systematically advocating for Ireland to join NATO since the meeting and has gone so far as saying he doesnt even need to hold a referendum to apply. Varadkar has come out a few months ago to say We should join. Those two men are the most dangerous Men this country has ever faced! If we join NATO its curtains for this small country. Our young men and women will be drafted and we cannot afford the soon to be military budget increase. This country has no money for its own citizens, where are we going to find money for NATO
And he posted the amount of food he has in his fridge,every shelf full,
How disgusting and thoughtless .
While the people he says he represents, STARVE! Leo your a sham.
These schemes are still a waste of time if a new house costs too much to build/buy 🤷 and why does he smirk and laugh when he admits to disasters 🤬
Coz he's slimier than slime
Of course it is but the reality supply to private developers are not supplying home at a realistic price or council homes. Look at how much rents families are paying to high end landlords in the Dail. They are making millions since they came into power.
The solution is not simply supply. The Government had have continually driven an investor/speculator & developer led housing strategy and policies that are designed to benefit the investor, developers and banks without addressing "affordability" of housing to "purchase" and "own" or to rent. Prices are now above123% above a trough reached in 2013 when Ireland was emerging from an international bailout, Between 2004 and 2019, the number of 25 to 34 year olds who own their own home has halved. They are now trapped in a rental economy where rents are over €2,000 a month. It's very similar to when the market crashed.' The State could have implemented a housing strategy and policies post 2008 to become a mortgage-providing force, to help those otherwise unable to get onto the ladder as part of the bail-out and restructuring. Rather than changing our housing system to provide affordable homes, all you did was reboot the economy for the banks, developers, landlords and investors. You have collectively failed and sacrificed a generation's hope for a home. What we need is competent leadership with joined up thinking who serve the people rather than self-interested career politicians. The record and performance of this Government speaks for itself and not for ordinary people working middle class people being driven into poverty.
Woah that home ownership stat is mind-blowing, even knowing there was a problem. Our government has been shocking, but there is also a global shift in western economies, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of countries with similar trends re: home ownership. Do you happen to know who do we compare to, or are we one of the worst on that stat?
No point in having supply without affordability - affordable housing for all and once you get it, capital gains tax if you try to sell it off - it's the only way to stop people seeing property as a lucrative investment instead of a place to live
When you understand they're (WEF) moto is " you will own nothing and you will be happy" the penny drops. He is, after all straight out of the Young Global Leaders school of the WEF!
Yea I agree. Supply is a really big part of it but ultimately they need to do more to tackle rents & house prices.
Tell me something I don't know ,,, or better still I will tell you something you don't know or don't want to know about what is happening in Ireland by design to drive down wage growth and living standards for big businesses in every single industry at a massive cost to the Irish taxpayers ! Low cost labour and people trafficking for big business who in fact run this country ! The people you voted for are not the people in power as SF are going to learn after the next elections that they will be told what they can and cannot do .
most houses built in ten years he says. he has been in government for all those ten years.
