Mr Cunningham, best known for his role as Ser Davos Seaworth in HBO’s Game of Thrones, marched through the streets of the capital on Saturday (26 November).
“I’m sick and tired of foreign investment vulture funds and what is known as absentee landlords”, he said.

Personally I don't want 'equality' with people who don't belong here in the first place, and often never integrate just take.
It’s certainly not equality when our own people are on the streets homeless whilst immigrants are given free housing everywhere
Well the Irish like to stay with their own and form communityiea where they go
I say if they're not good enough for the Africans then why the hell should the Irish put up with them? Or Europeans in general.... They're only fleeing because they caused trouble in their own lands anyway. Most of them have massive rap sheets. This is all about politicians lining their pockets with foreign money, just like he said in the video.
Foreign also means English. And notice he doesn't say foreignERS he's talking about the parasitic greedy landlords buying out properties often left empty or rented out for extortionate prices. Creating more homelessness more poverty more cramped living conditions and more inequality
It's ironic you saying that because there are actually more Irish people living outside of Ireland (mostly in the US and Canada) than there are Irish people in Ireland. How about all the Irish people go home and then you can complain about too many immigrants coming to Ireland? LOL
House the Irish first
So you want equal rights in the UK but not in Ireland
@@julianshepherd2038 I only care about Irish people in Ireland
Ireland has plenty of state-supported housing for Migrants & Asylum Seekers ~ but not for The Irish.
you can apply that to all white countries... do you see the prooblem..
Here if you're the right shade you can get govt grants for education, public aid, welfare, food assistance, medicaid (national healthcare), housing assistance/section 8, Obama phone (free govt issue phone) and for every kid you have you get more and more.
Ssshh, Do not mention the elephant in the room, OPEN BORDERS.
Yes mass migration is a huge problem. It's destabling the whole of Europe. But please explain what it has to do with the housing crisis?
@@paperstormz2232 we can't house the current population but sure let's take in more migrants..it's not rocket science now is it.
@@paperstormz2232 You must be joking surely?
Isn't the E.U so fantastic ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@harrybirchall3308 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
liam cunningham was one of the first men to say let the migrants come to Ireland.Ian o doherthy called cunningham out on his bullshit on a live tv studio debate a few years back.
Cool story bro. 🙄
Your dead right i rember him saying let them in hes a rich fool
I'm glad to see Ser Davos Seaworth with the people, marching on the streets fighting a cause, well fought, good lad.
The whole country should march on the dail and pull every single one of those politicians out by the head and take our country back
Glad to see someone speaking the truth.
It seems strange why it's just Ireland an England who seem to have long standing homelessness
We haven't built enough houses in Britain since before Thatcher
There are plenty of ghost estates in Ireland yet to be finished , that liam Cunningham is for every one coming into Ireland yes including the illegals. He was interviewed a few months ago and he wasnt very nice.
We have the same problem in the UK and suggest it's due to migrants is called racism. However I was in social housing here for most of my working life and 20 years ago due to a falling birth rate we had a housing problem - we had far too much. Then Tony Blair threw open the gates to mass immigration, add to that the realisation that claiming asylum got you round the immigration system anyway and bingo there's a crisis!
From identifying social housing need to completing a contract takes 10 years but this was never a problem because the government monitored the birth rate which gave 20 years notice. Let in hundreds of thousands of people in less than 10 years and you've got a problem it's as simple as that. You've also got a problem if they come from the third world and you have people speaking 350 languages as happens in London but let's not go there.
They deny that the concept of "demand" exists at all. They're ideologues. We literally need a bespoke tribunal to remove and prosecute them. So many need to be punished.
They're also housed first bumped up the housing queue and such👍
So are you saying, send the Irish Home
We haven't built enough houses since 1975.
We could have gotten the Poles to build some but they've gone home now.
@@KrisRoberts114 homeless families are housed first.
Homes for all Irish people, not illegal aliens! From a New Yorker who grew up in NYC during the Mad Men era!
Bravo an actor who’s a patriot!
He got out for the NGO astro turfed protest, well done lad.
Look after Irish first, only when Irish homeless are housed is the time to look after strangers.
We ask those who join us to march with us in a great and hazardous adventure. We ask them to be prepared to sacrifice all, but to do so for no small and unworthy ends. We ask them to dedicate their lives to building in this country a movement of the modern age, which by its Irish expression shall transcend all as so often before in our history,. We ask them to rewrite the greatest pages of Irish history by finding for the spirit of their age its highest mission in this island. Neither to our friends nor to the country do we make any promises; not without struggle and ordeal will the future be won. Those who march with us will certainly face abuse, misunderstanding, bitter animosity, and possibly the ferocity of struggle and of danger. In return, we can only offer to them the deep belief that they are fighting that a great land may live. 🇮🇪
You ready for England deporting the Irish or does it only work one way
Liam called called far refugees too ireland let them no wonder we have a housing crisis
No accident this is happening worldwide and central banksters are always the culprit! X U.S. Paratrooper
A fish rots from the head down.
I am 5th generation American, but by genetics am 99% western Irish, 1% Scottish 1%brittish, and my soul desires to emigrate back to Ireland, how can I come home
Get a huge dark penis
Good man. Truth Spoken.
Ser Davos needs to address the elephant in the room and talk about immigration.
HERE, HERE!👏👍💯
these raise the roof people should be arrested as traitors,, there are not that many of them, should be easy to serve them a beating
What the hell did you just say 💀💀💀
Why don't people protest about our 3rd world health system! I don't get it. Health care is No. 1 priority.
There is no health sleeping in a doorway
Free jonnys
Yes liam
Fantastic actor
Like you'd know
Same thing happening in the USA... foreign investments pricing locals out of the market
Legend
You have better have a strong word with those responsible for housing Liam because like the UK the next few years your people are gonna need support with the numbers that will be arriving, courtesy of the WEF
People can change their opinion iver time
He's just right
Well Done Liam
Father harry bohan cooperative housing initiative
Liam is a good man
✔✔✔👍🙏🏽power to the people🎤🇯🇲🇬🇧
Housing should have been a Constitutional right in the envisaged Irish Socialist Republic.. But that idea got diluted & erased to appease the English land owners..A Banana Republic that favours the exploitive rich over the true nations ppl was the result of ur Free State..I guess the matyrs never saw this coming.. Or why wud theyve bothered themselves 🤔
Ser Davos could take the vanguard
Well said
Welcome game of thrones 😂😂now less talking more Acton
"ITS MY IRELAND!!!...YIP YARRRRR!!!!!"
Davos seaworth ❤️
The Government is treating the people's wishes with apathy and complete contempt .. they do not care what the people who voted them into power or who pays their taxes cares ..😊
Turncoat
He admits to a housing problem but not the real reason :mass immigration and population replacement .
Champagne socialist.

Ser onion knight
I find this very disturbing. Lots of Irish people migrated to America when Ireland was very poor, this country got lot of financial help from Europe. That was convenient at the time. These people are not migrating because they are bored at home. Most of them don't have a home any more and if they stayed in Ukraine, thay might die.
Ireland is having migrants for many years: doctors, nurses, carers, cleaners, bus and truck drivers... many jobs where there was a need for people willing to do these jobs. Ukraine is a European country, where children are dying on daily bases.
How about some compassion, as the Irish once received when they were in need?
They say it’s Ukraine but really it’s Muslims and blacks and a few Ukraine
Would you have compassion for them if your daughter was gang raped by them or you was stabbed by them. Robbin us blind these foreigners.
I don't know about that and I don't comment. I am talking about Ukrainians, who are European, Christians, and they are leaving because of war.
As about other type of refugees, coming just for a better life than yes, there should be some limits.
What was that compassion .Can you prove that no you can't the irish weren't welcomed any nor did we expect.The Irish built the countries they went to and work ed there way up by dint of hard work and pulling together despite facing nothing but hostility.
Irish still want equal rights in the UK but not in Ireland.
Second rate actor with a second rate opinion!
Irish complaining about immigration must be the most ironic thing ever.
They were legal immigrants who were not put up in hotels but worked hard and done well everywhere they went there's no comparison to the dross that's arriving every day without passports.
We worked our way up in those countries, there is no comparison between people who work and those who get handouts.You’re argument holds no weight.Ireland has enough wasters we don’t need more.
At least the Irish worked
Remember the Great Famine when millions of Irish fled the country up to as recent as the 1980s for better opportunities and helped spread Irish culture to all 4 corners of the world?
@@silveriver9IT IS NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL. THE IRISH ARE NOW BEING DESTROYED.
Hopefully nobody will have to be homeless in the future 🙏
Yeah that's the excuse for everything now
