‘You’re Not Building Enough Houses For Us To Buy Up’ Embarrassment As Harris Confronted By Vulture Funds

THERE were embarrassing scenes for the Taoiseach in Dublin yesterday afternoon while out canvassing after he was suddenly doorstepped by a team of foreign investment fund representatives asking why his government hasn’t built enough houses for them to buy up.

Stumped for words as the men and women in suits challenged his record so far, Simon Harris quickly turned on his heels in a bid to deflect questions from foreign investors wondering what’s taking his government so long.

“You’re not even building half of what you said you would and now you’re promising nearly double of builds, how are our wealthy clients going to make a steady profit from buying up all the houses and apartments if there’s none to buy up?” one irate rep shouted at the retreating Taoiseach.

With the government failing year-on-year to meet its own housing targets, cuckoo and vulture funds have stated they’re starting to think the government is now even failing their needs now.

“Fair enough, leave your citizens homeless, but to cut off the hand that feeds your inflated GDP is another thing,” one spokesman for a Canadian based investment fund told WWN, who said he was disgusted at how foreign investment funds are being treated.

“These lads couldn’t build a sandcastle, never mind say an overpriced wood-framed house worth a tenth of the current average cost of a home in Ireland”.
