00:00I'm joined with two men now, Thomas Macdonald and John Molloy.
00:05Hi, Dougie. How are you?
00:06I'm a councillor in County Kildare, yeah.
00:09Yeah.
00:09And you did stand in the last election.
00:12Yeah, I got in the local elections, but I did stand in the general election.
00:17And we find the vote was very split and all over the place.
00:22We had a lot of candidates just popping up at the last minute,
00:26and we want to cut that out going forward.
00:28We need people that are active, that are involved in the communities,
00:33that are out there and doing work,
00:36not just appearing with a board three weeks before the election.
00:39You need people that are sitting there, that are doing work,
00:42they're known in the community, and you need to identify.
00:45Whether it's I be era 32, I'm involved in era 32 and building it, I won't be leader.
00:51But if we are sitting a candidate, we will have the stronger one
00:57and vice versa for other areas.
00:59So there you are.
01:00I mean, they are starting to build their candidacy.
01:02And, John, if you can walk in a bit towards me,
01:04you're not in this man's party, but you're really,
01:08you are now starting to unite.
01:10You're starting to learn the lessons from that election.
01:12What chance do you think you have in elections?
01:14Well, I'd just like to bring to point here what happened today
01:17and what we're doing here.
01:19Today we came together as people, as normal people in this country
01:23to highlight about 16,000 that are homeless in this country.
01:28Also, the hidden homeless and those that are waiting on social housing,
01:31which is probably about 30,000 or 40,000 people.
01:34At this moment in time, the government who are down here behind us
01:37are literally urinating, to use a word,
01:39a kind of phrase, on the Irish people.
01:42So the only way, the only way we can do this is not,
01:46and we've seen this in the past through political channels,
01:49that political policies is not curing a big issue that we have.
01:54The issue being homelessness, homeless crisis,
01:56we have an economic crisis, we have a migrant crisis,
01:59and so on in this country.
02:01Bringing it forward, we need to get together.
02:04We need to get all parties that are out there,
02:07that are fringe parties and everything else,
02:09to stop throwing toys out of the pram,
02:12get together, sit down at a table, work it out,
02:15because there are 16,000 people at this moment in time
02:19sitting around in doorways and in tents and everything else.
02:22We're here tonight in tents, as you can see behind me here,
02:25and we're highlighting this problem.
02:27We're here tonight in tents, as you can see behind me here,
02:42and we keep learnings in tents.
02:44And so we're also trying to see what you're doing with this in the Alterac две,
02:48that's what you might be saying with the IC siete E alive.
