TL;DR
  • He opens on the housing disaster as he sees it for ordinary working people. Record house prices, record rents and record numbers homeless, he says, alongside record numbers of people leaving Ireland because they cannot secure an affordable home of their own. At the same time, he argues, record numbers are coming in under what he calls the globalist mass immigration agenda, with nearly 250,000 extra people arriving over the last four to five years through the work permit system and through asylum applications he says are mostly economic migrants. That benefits the top of society, he argues, in a country where he says the richest 10% hold 50% of the wealth, and he accuses the so-called opposition of staying silent and condemning anyone who raises it.
  • Then the figures themselves, which he says were released to independent councillor Gavin Pepper, based in north County Dublin. On the council waiting list for the Dublin city area, he says 6,299 people are non-Irish, which comes to 42% of the list. That covers Dublin city alone, he points out, and not the other Dublin council areas including South Dublin County Council and Fingal, so he treats it as a microcosm of what is happening across Ireland. Breaking it down, he gives 1,320 households from Somalia at roughly 9% of the total, 4% from Romania, 2.4% from Poland and 2.2% from Afghanistan, which he totals at nearly 17 to 18% from those four countries alone. In the most recent figures, from 2025, he says one in every three council homes offered went to non-nationals.
  • He turns to who profits. Over the last ten years, he says, nearly 2.6 billion euro has been spent on accommodation in what he calls the homelessness industry, with 1.6 billion of it paid to private providers and 1 billion to organisations he describes as making money from the charity side of the crisis. He says 42% of families forced into homelessness come from the private rented sector, and that nearly 58% of people in homeless accommodation are non-EU and non-European Economic Area citizens, with 42% Irish nationals. For him the whole thing is a manufactured housing disaster paid for by ordinary taxpayers, while big employers, the property industry and the richest in society do well out of it.
  • He closes on the silence around it. The story broke on social media a number of days ago, he says, and has not been picked up at all by mainstream media, which he does not find surprising given what he says RTE has been paid, 725 million euro over the next three years, to push the government agenda. He calls it a national scandal that should be named as such, and rounds on what he describes as unaffected, privileged and well-off virtue signallers who deny a reality he says is staring them in the face, while ordinary working people deal with the cost of living, the housing disaster and communities where basic services have become next to impossible to access.

Hello everyone and thanks very much for subscribing to

Hello everyone and thanks very much for subscribing to my channel. Over the past few years, we've all witnessed and experienced the housing disaster get worse for ordinary working people. We've seen record house prices, record rents, record amounts of people homeless. And at the same time, we've also seen record amounts of people being forced out of Ireland who don't see a future without being able to obtain or secure an affordable home to call their own. At the same time, we see record amounts of.

People coming into the country with the globalist mass immigration agenda. Over the last four to five years, nearly 250,000 extra people have come into Ireland through various means through the work permit system and so-called asylum seekers as well, which you know the majority are economic migrants. But this benefits very top in society in terms of the richest. Remember in Ireland richest 10% of people have 50% of the wealth. It's absolutely astounding. And inequality will deepen and mass.

Immigration is a workingass issue. But this has been ignored by so much of the political establishment, in particular the so-called opposition who are deathly silent in these issues and actually condemn people for speaking out on what is blatantly obvious in Irish society and who this benefits. I've spoken about this on quite a number of videos in relation to the mass immigration agenda and a race to the bottom, but also in the context of the housing costs and accommodation costs.

Across Ireland. This has an impact of keeping accommodation costs high, including house prices and rents. Who does that benefit? Of course, the richest in Irish society, not ordinary working people who are struggling to get by. And the latest figures released to an independent counselor, Gavin Pepper, really compound what's taken place in Ireland. It's absolutely astounding. And at the same time, no mainstream media has reported on this. Is this really surprising when you consider the Damon issues raised in the figures released to.

The counselor based in North County Dublin. There are 15,05 people on council waiting lists in the Dublin city area and wait for 6,299 are nonIrish. That comprises 42% of those who are on the housing list in Dublin are nonnirish. This is absolutely astounding. This doesn't include other council areas in the Dublin area including Dairy, South Dublin County Council and Fingal. Now, it is a just a microcosm of what's taking place in Dublin, but also what's taking place.

Right across Ireland

Right across Ireland. It's just absolutely remarkable. Now, wait for this. It even gets worse because there are 1,320 people from Somalia or households from Somalia on this waiting list, which is about 9% of the total. Just remarkable. And 4% from Romania. And there's 2.4% 4% from Poland and 2.2% from Afghanistan. So that comprises nearly 17 to 18% of those awaiting this from just those four countries. At the same time, one in every three council house that has been offered or.

Council home that's been offered is to non-nationals in the most recent figures released which were back in 2025. So what's taking place in Irish society? It's ordinary working-class people who are most impacted by these decisions that favor the very richest in our society, the big employers and also those who are involved in the massive money-making racket that is a property industry but also the homelessness industry which is becoming big money. Last year in the last 10 years rather.

Nearly 2.6 6 billion euro has been spent on accommodation in the homelessness industry. [clears throat] 1.6 billion of that has been paid to private providers making an absolute fortune what's taking place and 1 billion to so-called governments organizations making money from charity from the homelessness disaster. At the same time, we see record amounts of people being forced into homelessness. 42% of families that come into homelessness are forced into homelessness come from the private rented sector. And what is more.

Fascinating is that nearly 58% of those total who are in homeless accommodation are non-EU and non European economic area people citizens. 42% of people are Irish nationals. Now this is absolutely remarkable but demonstrates what's taken place in Irish society. It is a completely manufactured housing disaster. [snorts] It's pushed more and more people over the edge and at the same time this is absolutely just astounding these figures to what's taken place. Orly taxpayers are paying for this and paying for this to happen and.

Many of those who are unaffected will continue to be virtue sign ignorers and deny the reality that is staring them right [clears throat] in the face. But it's ordinary working people who are face facing this dayto-day struggling with the basic cost of living crisis. Not to mention the housing disaster as well and the accessing of basic services becoming next to impossible in most of our communities as are all being decimated by deliberate governments and political decisions. At the same time,.

The so-called opposition are deadly silent on this and

The so-called opposition are deadly silent on this and fully signed up to this agenda. So, this story broke a number of days ago through social media and hasn't been picked up at all by the mainstream media. I suppose that's what you get from a so-called public service broadcaster who've been paid 725 million euro over the next three years to push government's agenda. That is RTE. We also know about many others so-called public service broadcasters. So much for.

Truth matters. Well, they don't report the truth and don't speak about the reality facing or working people. It's a national scandal. should be called out as such but so much for the silence from the unaffected and privileged and welloff virtue signers and those who would have taken the establishment shield to benefit those at the very top of society and the corporations that the Irish political establishment represents and serves and facilitates. So thanks so much for all support on my videos.

Thanks for sharing them and I appreciate it as well. Thanks a lot and I talk to you soon. Bye.

The Dublin city housing list figures he says no mainstream outlet reported.

Dooley goes through figures he says were released to independent councillor Gavin Pepper, covering the council housing waiting list in the Dublin city area. On those figures 6,299 people on the list are non-Irish, which he puts at 42% of the list, and he notes it covers only Dublin city, not South Dublin County Council or Fingal. He breaks the list down further, with 1,320 households from Somalia at about 9% of the total, 4% from Romania, 2.4% from Poland and 2.2% from Afghanistan, and says one in every three council homes offered in the most recent 2025 figures went to non-nationals. He ties it to what he calls a manufactured housing disaster that suits the richest, the property industry and what he calls the homelessness industry, and says the story broke on social media days ago and was not picked up by mainstream media.
