“Stop I Know, It’s Horrendous & The Government Are Doing Nothing” Couple Charging €3,600 In Rent Tell Dinner Party

HOLDING a long overdue get together, a group of friends have gathered for a dinner party and try as they might conversation keeps turning to the dominant issue of the day in Ireland; housing.

Individually assessing their present company for subtle signs of how well they’d take their opinions on how the feckless government just won’t build any houses, local couple and owners of several properties Cormac and Lynne Faherty didn’t hold back on how disconsolate they’ve been left feeling by the crisis.

“They’re just not building enough at the end of the day,” reasoned Cormac, who along with his wife, bought two of the very apartments developers are building to combat the crisis as no-brainer investments for themselves in recent years.

“Take our neighbours now they’ve kids at home, young but they’ve good jobs. Just out of college and nevermind a mortgage they can’t afford rent,” offered Lynne, who sets a rent of €3,600 for a two-bed Dublin apartment.

As the night progressed, the couple remained passionately and equally frustrated by government inaction as their friends were.

“Y’see, they should have never ruddy stopped building after the crash. That was the time to build and now look at the place there’s barely a property available for our young folks. We were available to buy a few places in the downturn and flip them, but can young people do that now? Forget about it,” offered Cormac, just beside himself at how things are done in this country.

“It’s a complete change in how we do things that’s needed but will the fellas charge be that change? I don’t think so,” chimed Lynne, who will vote Fianna Fáil until she stops drawing breath.

“You’d get more change out of a tip jar then from them fools,” Lynne added, to raucous laughter.
