I wonder exactly where she was referring to when she mentioned 'borded up buildings in south dublin'? I wonder if she has her eye on Sandymout - would be handy for taking the kids to the strand for a bit of sand castle building during the summer months.

Go on her Facebook page, she was posting about a lot of places boarded up in Tallaght. Usually there is a good reason for it though, last tenants did a lot of damage etc.

Take them into care then. Might be one way to save them from the inevitable 1000's of convictions between them later in life.

where are all these care places coming from? apparently the care system struggles with children as it is, and you want to add more to it. not because the children are in genuine need of it, but because of your personal dislike or disagreement with their mother. i'm not sure the care system is a way to save them from gaining convictions either.

She is obviously financially incapable of looking after them.

thankfully due to our wellfare system which recognises reality, she's very much financially capible of looking after them.

EDIT: It would save the state a fortune in legal aid in years to come. The state being me and all other taxpayers.

how do you know that the care system would save the state a fortune in legal aid?

'eloquent' is an adjective [tells you more about the noun]...you could have written 'she was eloquent in how she spoke' therefore eloquent in describing the person [noun] would have been used in that instance correctly. However as many 10 year olds might point out ..'to speak' being a verb needs to be followed by an adverb so in the above case you should have written ....

'I know 10 year olds who can speak more eloquently'

For context:

I wonder does she have a driving license?

It requires a bit of effort, responsibility, and expense so I suspect not.

I'm fairly sure that there is a special exemption for travellers from requiring a licence.
Or tax, insurance and NCT!

Absolutely and she s setting a wonderful example to her kids about the need to be vocal about your convictions in life...and not to be bullied or feel inferior by the men in suits. Very impressive indeed.

A wonderful example altogether. I hope when she was packing her bags and moving her children from place to place she told the "mammy has the money to rent a place, but I'm showing you a good example"

Questions I’d like an interviewer to ask..
Mags, where do you think your social welfare money comes from?
Who do you expect to pay for this house you want?
Should the government give everyone a House?
Are the people who pay for their own houses fools?
You said you left school at 12 because it leads to drink and drugs, do you plan on taking your kids out of school at this age too?
We’re you helping to rob houses in Wexford?
Did you buy that car for 10k in the end?

Alrigghtythen

I'd ask:


How much do you get a week?

Why don't you pay for your own house?

Do you think it's fair to keep your children homeless because you choose not to pay?

Is that a knock off tracksuit, or did you pay €300 for it?

Did you get the €200 runners to match?

Why do you prioritise paying for these thing over paying for a roof over your children's heads?

Tell us about your waterford crystal collection.

sightband

The tracksuits and runners are hard to stomach but the €10k offer for a car is seriously disturbing. We’re on a relaitively decent wedge but we drive a 12 year old sh*tbox because we can’t afford a new one plus the upkeep of it costs us about €8k a year.

I’m at a loss as to how anyone can defend this person having disposable income of €18k for a car at the expense of the tax payer. If she has this kind of money, rent a house

This is a mad kip of a country.

BBFAN

People ranting at a 10k offer for a car based off a FB post that actually has 10 million on it is making me laugh.

Her past Facebook posts show a pattern of buying fairly expensive things but in fairness I don't think the tracksuit was one, seems to be a cheap Gucci knock-off item.
Found it online ranging from €5 - €45.

Rotunda RTÉ 2 now, we have another one, on her 4th kid.

Father there was homeless, 2 of them no means to support the 4 kids.

Unbelievable.

I give you Nikita.

Presumably all of these unemployed fathers have Medical Cards so can get prescribed free Viagra from the pharmacist every week - hence they have long-lasting hard-ons that drive their women crazy with lust so they shag like rabbits!

Here's a mad idea. Pay women like Cash to NOT have kids. Solve the problem in one generation maybe? Too late for her obviously, need to catch them early, maybe in their teens when they get married.

here's an even madder idea, don't use the economy to punish child bearing?


I was astounded (astounded, I say!) during the Repeal referendum earlier this year to hear so many feminists say things like 'think of all the women who cannot afford more children'. But hang on a sec, why not challenge the underlying idea that being a human being and starting a family should be something that is an economic burden in the first place?

Why should it be? I have one child and I'd love to have approximately a clutch, which is somewhere between four and a dozen. Of course I also want to support them properly, so the latter figure is unlikely to be feasible.

But it has me thinking, shouldn't we try to organise our society in a way in which nobody has to endure poverty for simply having kids? We created our economy out of nothing, it wasn't something that came down from the mountain with Moses, it should be up to us how we organise ourselves.

Why shouldn't we reward family life? Why shouldn't work practices be built around the family, and not the other way around? Maybe if it were so, we wouldn't have any problem with disincentives to work, especially with single parents. Just a thought!

She would take the money, take patie and still get poled.

Good idea. We could have a system where benefits and grants are paid out to those with kids to cover the associated cost - even more if a parent is raising their kids alone. We could give allowances for rent, or even just give houses if needs be. We could cover medical costs too because kids get sick a lot, and sick parents can't adequately care for their children. The more kids they have, the more we could provide thus rewarding and promoting family life instead of just a working life. If we do it properly we might even reach a stage where a parent could not work at all and focus entirely on their family - kitting them out with nice Nike clothes and driving them around in nice family 7 seaters.

What a system that would be, no way would it be abused and taken advantage of.

Not really suggesting anything of that nature, obviously.

I'm just saying, maybe the working week in its original conception needs some adjustment.it hasn't been very much revised since, when, the 19th century? Maybe it should closer resemble the school day of children, for a start? Maybe it once made sense for adults to work longer hours than the school day, when children were typically minded by stay-at-home mums, but why should it remain so? It isn't written in stone.

I'm not suggesting anything drastic here, just that human beings shouldn't be punished for having families.

The idea that having families is something which only the rich should enjoy is totally anomalous, it's a bizarre idea that has only arisen during the past few generations, and my bet is that it will won't survive the next couple of generations, especially as automation increases to influence our economy.

There's absolutely no good reason to punish parenthood when you consider that most people will become parents. Why are we bothering with such an idea anyway?

Building a workplace around the family should actually help to quell the 'problem' of parents who are not incentivised to work, so I'm struggling to understand much opposition to it, especially in threads like this one!

eviltwin

I don't feel punished for having kids unless you mean having to work to pay for them which of course I should do.
