I totally believe that we have a massive housing shortage & homeless crises but six young kids setup for a publicity stunt like this?? Six kids. Where is the father/ fathers?? I'm sick to death of people like this setting up publicity stunts in the hope that they get to skip the queue.It's the likes of this "mother" that…

Can't speak for RTE but TheJournal were on a comment deleting spree on any of the articles about Ms.Cash, probably deleting 80%+ of comments, some with 1000s of thumbs up / likes too. Sad given the comments were just pointing out things that should have been in the article had the "journalist" done any research at all.

And the same crowd is taking full control of boards.
Wonder how well that will work out.

He's an ignorant uneducated shock jockey and more fool the people who listen to him. The amount of scum he has on his show is unreal. But work away, if his views are what you agree with I'm sure you'll put up with the scum he deals with.

It was her own choice to keep her children homeless. That's right, a choice she made. She has the money to rent somewhere but chooses not to.

It's not the government's fault
It's not the gardas fault
It's not the politicians fault

It is her choice

A when she's whining that she had to pack up 7 children each morning to move she should clarify it.

It is her choice to pack up her children every morning

It is her choice to be in a bedsit

It's her choice to live in drumcondra and have children in school in Tallaght

100% her choice

She has the income, she'd just chooses not to spend it on housing

Income? Thats an insult to those that work. More like social benefits we mugs, sorry tax payers, contribute towards to fund her waterford crystal, tracksuit and nike air max addiction. 2,500 on a fecking communion dress, it must have been made out of Angle (angel) tears or something to cost that much.

300,000+ views on Facebook. Very surprised the comments are so positive, I don't see any negative at all.

Given the very low comments : views ratio (70 comments for 300K views?) I'd make a guess that the poster of the video is deleting any negative comments.

You can't comment on it sure - go ahead and try.
I am not au fait with fb rules etc but I can see from looking at it with a colleague here that there is no option to comment.

I don't think I spent that on my last 3 pairs of runners.

Half this story seems to be playing out on FB, first time I've felt I'm missing something by not being on it.

It’s worse it’s going to get. Nothing but council houses being built, the ordinary worker being rode for tax to fund the fleagh.

There didn’t seem to be many outside the Dail to hear her rant so it’s being broadcast on Facebook.

It’s a pity she cut her education short as I’d say she could have made something of herself.

She's definitely qualified to be a Sinn Fein or Solidarity councillor or might even make Senator.

Does this mean that thejournal.ie will now be interfering in the site or dictating what can or can’t be talked about?

It's a concern though!

Boards is already owned by Distilled Media which also owns TheJournal, been that way for years. They said recently they are restructuring the companies so that Boards is owned by Journal Media Ltd. rather than being a seperate company. What changes that will mean other than legally, who knows, they already worked out of the same floor of the same offices.

Thanks.

I'm rather proud of the fact that until your reply I had never even heard of a game called Quake.

It really isn't. They've actually been owned by the same crowd for years, this is more a restructuring.

Anyway, having seen the video from yesterday I am seriously considering selling up the house and leaving this country. It is something I've given thought too, it seems as a single person I am bottom of the rung when it comes to anything, I am absolutely ridden with tax and yet we reward this entitlement culture.

Boylan is good ( not great), his show has come on a lot and anytime he appears on TV, he speaks a lot of plain common sense.

It's a damning indictment of the media in this country that Niall Boylan is seen as a bastion of reason. He is by no means an exemplary journalist but, in the current climate of feeling over facts, he simply says it as it is. And fair play to him for doing so, his no bull**** policy has certainly gained a few new listeners to his show, in the form of me and many of my friends (the much-maligned "squeezed middle").

Every day I miss George Hook more and more. He was a bit of a buffoon but he tried his best to ask the non-pc questions.
