We discuss the on-going protests and organising by the far-right around anti-Trans & LGBTQI+, sex education in schools, anti-immigrant and housing issues, but also the way in which mainstream politics is expressing their hate, and the need to engage and discuss with people around us and in our communities, take action based on solidarity, and the importance of the upcoming elections. We offer hope and ways to create an inclusive Ireland.

We hear the real life experiences and the work being done as part of CATU Crumin-Drimnagh & Davitt House tenants & CATU Ballymun-Finglas, in organising tenants and getting DCC to respond to tenants who have been ignored, many for several years. This is taking action for a right to housing!

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.
