Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are so terrified of what they've done by ending the eviction ban that they won't even allow a city council to discuss it.
They know what they did, how many people will be hurt, but they are too gutless to do anything except try to shield themselves.

Today, @LewishamCouncil refused to accept my public question; how many site visits were made by #planning and planning enforcement in 2019, and in 2022?
Don't they know the number? Is it too embarrassing to admit? Mmmm ..... #localdemocracy #transparency @LewishamWatch @se26 #SE6
