Can you blame him. The fact is there are scumbags being re-located all over the county and all we hear about is how they are causing trouble whereever they go. Time for the do gooders to stop talking out their ar&*s. Nobody wants to take the chance of anybody from moyross moving in beside them, as there is a very good chance that you will have scumbags living next door. Straight away the value of your house will drop, say what you like but this is fact.

Oh a typical NIBY comment there, though he doesn't seem to mention Moyross in particular ……

He's a snob, and an ignorant one at that. I'd personally prefer to live in Moyross than that kip Askeaton.

This is part of the problem Moyross people had at the start of the regeneration, some decent people thought they were going to be moved to Cahirdavin and surrounding areas but were afraid the locals would shun them and their children, they thought they would be classed as the rent allowance lot, ( by that I mean the one who vacate their homes for a stupid reasons and declare them selves homeless to get a daycent gaff)

So no-one from Askeaton will be getting one of these houses then? How very kind of him to open up those houses to people of the 31 other counties.
How the hell can he 'guarantee' that? Does he hand pick the tenants himself?

As a former resident of Moyross would I be welcome there if I bought a home on a private estate? Probably not now that I think of it.

Sheehan! You are an asshat!

You you may not like it but his job is to represent _his_ constituents.

This is what happens when you have a highly parochialised system like we have in Ireland. Any politician will find it very hard to resist any parish-pump protest or nimbyist agenda no matter how unappealing if he or she wants to get elected.

Roll on the list system.

Kevin Sheehan is a snob. There's good & bad everywhere. Some of the nicest people I've ever known came from Moyross. In saying that, I wouldn't want to live there myself.
