Róisín explains the impact that the housing crisis and pay and conditions inequalities for younger teachers - with a generation locked out of housing. She tells of teachers living out of cars, couchsurfing, and living as she is, an 'adult in the attic'. She presents the findings of their survey of 28 schools in Dublin West that shows that 110 teaching positions were unfilled. She challenges the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar's gaslighting claims that we have the highest every number of teachers when in fact we have the highest number of unfilled teaching positions, and the data is not being collected on how many teachers schools are short of. Because of the teaching & housing crisis, schools and classes are likely to close this coming Winter as they are at constant risk of closure, schools are on verge of collapse due to lack of teachers. While all students' education is being damaged as they are missing time with leaning support teachers for in class support for reading, writing, math's, core skills & subjects. And its causing huge stress for teaching and school staff.

We discuss the key trends in terms of falling home ownership back to the 1960s, and rising private rental, rents, and the number of older households stuck renting, the emergency of the older renter, the 160,000 vacant homes and how much rental is actually vacant. These statistics show the failure of housing and economic policy pursued over the last thirty years. Its time for change. Enough is enough.

In this Reboot Republic Rory and Tony talk to doctors working in the Irish health system who are being exploited, and devastated by the housing crisis. The doctors tell their experiences of living in hidden homelessness - living out of their car, couch-surfing, living in insecure housing, and the impact on them and the health system. We talk to Dr. Ali Raza Ansari, who has been made homeless, he does his shift in the hospital and then goes into a situation of couchsurfing with a friend, we talk to Dr Liqa Ur Rehman, a paediatrician in the Coombe Hospital about the need for the HSE, hospitals and the Government to take responsibility for providing accommodation for doctors. Dr Anum Zara is a psychiatric doctor and she explains the impact of the housing situations on mental health, and need for secure accommodation for healthcare staff. Dr Hussain explains that he had to turn down a post in Portlaoise hospital because he couldn't find accomodation, or a school place for his children, while Dr Aman has been offered a position in Clonmel Hospital but cannot take it up because she cannot find anywhere to live. These doctors are providing essential care, they want to stay in Ireland, they love Ireland. This is a housing and health emergency, the Government, hospitals and the HSE must take emergency action.

He explains what is the reality of life in emergency accommodation, how he has been in homelessness for 18months, and yet has never had an offer of social housing. He also explains the devastating impact homelessness has had on his mental health and how is starting to blame himself, think something is wrong with him, despite, as the facts point out, the reasons for almost all homelessness is because of the failed politics of the victim blaming Leo Varadkar and successive FF/FG Government's policies of high rents and failing to build real social housing. Please share this podcast, people need to hear this, and contact your local TDs and Minsiter for Housing and the Taoiseach - to take real emergency action to end homelessness and stop blaming those in homeless for their housing policy failures. This is a powerful must listen and share podcast. Tickets:https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/tortoise-shack-live-tickets-632859177837
