Introductions

Hi there

My name is jules and i've been involved with the Dublin Housing Coop Project for about a year; I have also been attending Irish Community Land Trust meetings regularly and have met many people working on housing projects.

I'm also involved with the Irish Housing Network, which is a community led collection of groups forcing the government to change its neoliberal housing policy through action.

I hope to learn from others here and share some of what I have learned in the past while :)

Hi, I'm part of a recently started Queer Housing Co-Op, we're just at the proposal/planning stage. Open to hearing from anyone interested.

Hi,
My name is Davie part of Cloughjordan Co-housing, which is looking to create a model for affordable housing and mutual home ownership in Cloughjordan Ecovillage. I have visited about 12 different co-housing projects across Europe and Im interested in sharing that learning. Our project is having difficulties in some areas and welcome this initiative to bring different projects together to share our experiences and help each other overcome challenges. I suppose my biggest interest is to disrupt the way we think about housing and challenge the emphasis on ownership and individualism of our current options and provide other models to house ourself.
See you on Saturday
Davie

Hi,
I'm interested in setting up a housing coop in Dublin and working with other people or groups creating similar housing alternatives. I have been involved with the Dublin Housing Co-op group for about a year too.
Cheers,

Hi my name is manus,and im a Space Cadet.currently doing satellite repair work for Irish Eco Village Network

Good month to you. I both wish to live a vibrant, thriving low impact life and to continue my connection to greater society so that we can learn together and overcome the suffering that is occurring from environmental disconnection.
I am rather convinced that a lifestyle closer to our past, and also more in line with modern exploration, will resonate with the masses if pioneers are willing to build with that intention from seed to forest... Doom is always lurking yet never an option to consider.
I believe in mud huts and space rockets, and I would love to both rewild our land and society from transition to a semi urban Agroforestry network....

Hi . I'm Andy & would have an interest in developing an economically sustainable community based apon a Co-Operative basis .
