I made the mistake of reading the full article.

To even compare someone who decided to have 7 kids and is on over 50 k a year tax free with the women in the laundries is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard.

What a ridiculous exaggeration.

Japanese (I know, the husband works nearby, not just stereotypically assuming!) family on the LUAS most mornings - both going to work, kids to school and daycare etc.

Like a well oiled machine and there's five of them. Bless them, they must work all the hours God sends.

Wheety - his point is anyone who disagrees with him on anything is racist.

Race comes into everything. It's deeply worrying.

Maybe you can put in a word with Mary Lou for her, sure she must have lots of space in her house to put her up.

Maybe bring the husband in as well when he gets out.

As did I but I am glad I made it to the comments, alright own up - who did this:

Another gob****e trying to spin the feminist angle to deflect criticism from this parasite. Here’s the fact and the only fact – Cash is a scumbag who has never, and will never contribute anything to this country, but feels “entitled” to earn more in benefits than most workers doing a 9-5 will ever see. That applies regardless of whether she is a female or a male – she is a welfare parasite and a drain on the state.

And if you think for one second that anybody in their right mind (or employment because they are who pay for this leech) is going to rally to her cause?? You must be extremely naive, or extremely thick (maybe both). She is the “homeless crisis” personified – a disgusting sense of entitlement to something she does not and will never deserve. Real homeless are sleeping on the streets, not gaming their way to a “forever home”..

Well said sir, well said!

'Temporary flat is no solution - Politicians don't care about us'

"Being homeless and being poor are two different things," she told the RTE show Today With Miriam. "There's no one saying there's anyone poor here. What I'm saying is, I'm homeless. I haven't enough to get a home but I've enough to get me through the week.

"I saved hard to get my child that dress. And she was lovely. I think she was beautiful."

She said she found the negative responses difficult to deal with.

"It's hard when you know you haven't done anything wrong. I'm entitled to live my life, I'm entitled to buy my daughter a communion dress and to go for a few drinks with friends.

"I've met hundreds of families in the same situation. There are lots of homeless mothers out there walking around Dublin trying to find some place to go."

Inner City Helping Homeless has been working as an advocate for Ms Cash, and she thanked it for all the help it had provided.

However she was critical of politicians for the lack of support they had shown her.

"No one contacted me. They don't care about me. They're comfortable in their own homes. They're fair sorted.

Reared

"What gives them the right to think this is OK? I was born and reared here. Every Irish citizen is entitled to a home," she said.

The young mum added that she wants to be housed in Tallaght ultimately.

"That is where my family are from and that is where all my children's family and friends are," she said.

"We will take it as it comes, but we would ultimately want a house in Tallaght."

Sorry Ms. Larissa Nolan, you, like many second rate interns in the media especially the hysterical sensationalist organ your write for have been sicked in by this person.

Ms Cash had no issue living off the benefits of her husbands crimes even when it was the crime of robbing and badly injuring an elderly lady.

Mscash is NOT, i repeat NOT a single mother. She is married, her husband is in Cloverhill JAIL

Maybe do a tiny little bit of research. Journalists used to do this,but these days are too lazy or too incompetent. She, her currently jailed husband and her j#kids caused a huge amount of stress to her former neighbours. They celebrated when she left. The council have numerous complaints about her.

hence the one week trial period and the month by month follow on period.

A proper journalist could find all this out easily.

but sure that wouldn't suit the hysterical story - the truth rarely does!

DCC has rent arrears of 50 million so no.

Can dcc ,or any council in the country, legally debit arrears from a persons benefit payment?
If not why not?
If they can, why aren’t they doing it?

Its not the last time some of those kids will sleep in a garda station I bet.

Next time it wouldn't be a plastic chairs. It would be an appropriate wooden bed and a steel bars.

Stay on this thread, and you'll read worse.

I'm amazed that some people actually believe the crap they communicate.

If she ain't poor she could have afforded her own accommodation then before going public with this well planned story that not only made national headlines but global headlines.

I'm patiently awaiting to hear of other families pulling this stunt.

Namely the 2 women in Co.Cork amongst others.

Forget a mobile home and a caravan in a patch of grass in a housing estate, forget sleeping in tents on a beach, they should have camped in the garda station like Ms Cash the cute hoor.

Your posts generally seek to diminish any responsibility or wrongdoings for perceived minorities in most threads you wade into. They also seem to demonise anyone who has the cheek to call these people out on their bullsh*t, even when warranted.

I'd say that's a fair assessment of your offerings most times I've seen you post.

They can deduct it at source from welfare but that requires signed consent.

She wasn't "homeless", she was "houseless". The difference being that with the money she was receiving she could have rented somewhere outside of the immediate city area. She had the means to provide accommodation for herself and her children, and chose to seek extra support instead.

That's not homeless... and frankly, we really should be objecting strongly to the notion that it is.

The only advantages are better tax structures for investments, and for pensions. So if you want to invest the money your company can do it after paying 12.5% instead of the usual ~50%. But the directors will pay the full whack of personal tax on whatever cash they withdraw as their salary.

They normally pay themselves miserable wages to avoid high taxation.
But they can close the company any time and get all the cash from the account paying something around 20% in Tax (without paying PAYE & PRSI)

I agree they are not but my point still stands.

Your point does not stand.

Not agreeing with someone claiming a lot of free money and demanding a free house is not the same as someone being on a different contract and earning more than someone else.

"To want a home in which to have and raise children, and to be supported by society in so doing, is a perfectly feminist ideal and to suggest otherwise is pure misogyny. The work of having and raising children is work of value on which society depends; indeed without the work of mothers in growing, birthing and raising our children society as we know it would end within a generation."

Yea, it's more toerags we need LOL.

To be clear I hold no ire against the poor kids (not that my like or dislike matter a whit), however what hope do they have?

jjmcclure

Putting all the ranting and raving aside, the majority here are rightly upset by what has happened and how it has been portrayed by the media.


Should we start another thread for those who are opposed to what happened and craft a letter to the main media outlets and a formal complaint to RTE regarding the biased coverage of this story? We should also register the dissatisfaction of the silent majority with the government via our local TD's.


I wonder how many boards users we could get to "sign" the letter? Could we start a movement here??
