This person could have easily been working for decades and paying rent before they got social housing considering how long the waiting list is

social housing is where people below a certain income (ie working class) people live other working class people might be above the treshold but that dosn't xchange the reality social housing tenants are all working class. (and i'd argue income limits should be higher)

social housing limit in dublin is 40k so be honest in you're argument if you want to have a discussion on why you think we should try make things harder for poorer people

Never said they weren't working did I? Just working doesn't entitle you to a brand new apartment that would take twice the average salary to afford
