- Q5310927 abstract "The Dublin Housing Action Committee was a 1960s protest against housing shortages in Ireland's capital city.It arose from a serious shortage of affordable housing, combined with a large number of properties standing empty. It also functioned as a way for a broad range of left-wingers in the Republic of Ireland to address themselves to a wider audience. This was at a time when nothing much was happening in Northern Ireland and a renewed IRA campaign would have seemed very unlikely.The Secretary of the committee was Dennis Dennehy (then a member of the Irish Communist Organisation). He had been imprisoned for squatting and also went on hunger strike. After a big protest, he was released and helped support an extensive program of squatting in private-owner properties. Denis Dennehy's position as secretary was taken over by another homeless member Eamonn O'Fearghail, who with other families were squatting in private property on Pembroke Road, opposite the American Embassy. He remained in that position until the eviction of those families some years later from the two houses in a major garda operation, where for the first time shields were use by the force.This action and the employment of the new Forcible Entry Act, signaled the end of the DHAC's campaign of housing homeless families in empty private houses.Other prominent members were Sean MacStiofain (who would later join "Provisional" Sinn Féin after its 1970 split), Seán Ó Cionnaith, Proinsias De Rossa, and Eamonn McKenna (1936-2011) who would join the Official Sinn Féin faction,Michael O'Riordan, Mairin de Burca, Sam Nolan, Margaret Gaj, Bernard Brown (served as Chairman) and Fr. Austin Flannery.The DHAC called for a housing emergency to be declared, a prohibition on demolishing sound living accommodation, and an immediate halt to the building of prestige office blocks.The Squatter was a publication issued in 1969 by the Housing Committee.The DHAC also inspired similar campaigns, such as the Derry Housing Action Committee, the Limerick Housing Action Committee, and the Cork Housing Action Committee. The latter organisation protested during a banquet held by the Taoiseach Jack Lynch, calling for Dennehy's release. The CHAC and the LHAC led a picket on Limerick Prison after several members of the CHAC were imprisoned for protesting; the picket was led by the LHAC's chairman, Liam Gleeson. .The Committee was accused of being an 'IRA offshoot', but this seems very unlikely although many Sinn Féin members were involved in the campaign. Those involved took different and often critical attitudes towards the IRA when their campaign started.".
