i dont know the woman and Im not the kind of person to denigrate someone I know so little of. Interestingly though, you are.

She made it her business to flaunt the money WE make available to her; she lied her arse off and used the kids to get more benefits.

She's fair game.

And how many got the benefits , this lady is getting as a result of the crash? How many children did she have after going on the housing list as she could not provide for what she already had ?

so its a witch hunt then .... you have an issue with this woman getting benefits. there are many more you know, getting all kinds.

Personally I think theres too many benefits on offer - but that would be to blame those ACTUALLY responsible, rather than some unfortunate with no home, so you;d probably disagree.

I agree the system is messed up, however she is not some unfortunate. She had 7 children when she couldn't even afford to put a roof over her own head. Thats all kind of stupid, or smart when you can get somebody else to pay for it..

She HAD a home, she was bragging on social media about it. Lovely Waterford crystal decs.

Then she was offered one in Meath. But one of the kids may have had to share, turned that down.

"Unfortunate" ??? That's not the word most would use.

The thing nobody has really mentioned so far is should we realistically be expecting our councils to be able provide a house at the drop of a hat for 7 children?

I disagree entirely, this ladies actions are what are disgusting. dressing her children up in uniforms and dragging them around for photo ops, to get her bumped up the list for her free house . People calling her out on it are damn right in my opinion,

She did use the term ‘entitled to be housed’ didn’t she?

Fair game to have her story picked apart and be exposed for the liar and social welfare sponge she is.

Several times - most notably when trying to cover up her criminal behaviour.

Must look it up further but any time I've seen it is "They're saying you should be ashamed - I already know that. I am ashamed of being homeless," she told the Irish Sun.

"No matter what I have done in my past, it doesn't take away from the fact that I have a right to be housed."

I'd say the PBP rep coaching her has said to add a touch of humility to the hubris - better optics going forward.

No one has a right to be housed, where do they get this nonsense from?????

KrustyUCC

It's the likes of Boyd Barrett, Coppinger and Paul Murphy spout that nonsense

Why has she a right to a house for 7 kids, herself and prob the husband when he gets out of jail despite her never having worked a day in her life?

yes, that is very right wing. not really a radical viewpoint in the context of this thread though, so don't be afraid to speak your mind.

most civilised western democracies do regard having a roof over your head as a basic human right.

here we have it - this is nothing more than a bitching thread about a woman then. obviously hasnt anything to do with the housing crisis, certainly going by the content.

Are yous going to compare handbags next?

Yeah which she had.

That’s different to a right to a house.

Ironic considering the poster you are replying to is the first one to have suggested such an extreme idea. Learn what a straw man argument is and come back to us.

Except your post was a complete straw man so in no way contextual to the discussion whatsoever

Calm down wheelie calm down.

It annoys me too.

She’s being coached by the Paul Murphy’s the Ruth Coppingers the Joan Collins of this world who will probably say she’s entitled to it on 2 grounds

Ethnicity & culture.
