eh hang on a min. I would not be leaving the kids destitute, i said current families would be exempt. if YOU choose to have more kids after that then YOU are the one making them destitute unless you can afford them.

an horrific scheme? making people live within their means? you do realise that the working people all over Ireland can only have as many kids as they can afford to support yeah. So how many WORKING families have 6/7/8 plus kids. not many.

You’re ok with future kids being destitute then? Because you consider that their parents got forewarning? Are they collateral damage?

I'm just gonna put it out there...but I'm getting a settled traveller vibe from her fb page.

Between the giant communion dress and the last names of most of her FB friends (and the part where she seems very religious)...

You would be correct

A mother and six of her seven children were forced to stay in a Garda station in west Dublin on Wednesday night.

Margaret Cash (28), a member of the Traveller community and six of her children - aged between one and 11 - stayed at Tallaght Garda station after emergency homeless services were unable to find beds for them.

No solution in sight with ongoing homeless crisis

Also faced with an uncertain future is a Tallaght family-of-eight currently “overholding” at a property in Tymon North.
Margaret Cash and her partner John McCarthy have been living in Castle Park for the last two years.

The house has been sold in the last year, but despite efforts to find alternative accommodation, the only option the family were given, was a temporary weekend stay at a Gardiner Street B&B two weeks ago.

“They’re taking the mick,” said Margaret, who has been on the housing list for six years, and registered the family as homeless in May, when they were aware the new owner wanted them out.

John said: “We have four kids in school at St Aengus and don’t want to disrupt them. On top of that, we have all been living and sleeping downstairs, because the upstairs is in bad shape, with no insulation, mould, damp and a leaking roof. We just want any old place nearby and would be happy to do it up ourselves.

“We gave up our Traveller life years ago and settled down, but we don’t have a family that would be willing to take in six children.”

Of course. Next up then is free nappies for all the sprogs, then free sky tv so the kids can watch tv when it’s wet outdoors and of course mama will need a night out to relax from the stresses of looking after 10 children.
The whole social housing is a complete scam.
There should be a huge crackdown on so called single moms claiming to live alone.
The government needs to implement a crackdown on kids allowance and start restricting it to 2 kids max.
Sure there’s the whole argument about we need more young people working for the future but I’m pretty sure that out of a 100 families all taking the piss you can be sure that even if 10% of them get a job and pay their way the other 90% are breeding like rabbits to take the piss out of the system.
I want a political party that comes out and says they will prioritize working people, initiate huge crackdowns on welfare fraud , limit children allowance, expand and support a modern police support and crack down on criminal activity. That party would be elected in a heartbeat I reckon?,

And I can assure you that a party would emerge and come forward if it weren't guaranteed to be smothered at birth by the media.
RTE and the like would be all over such statements, with contributing statements from the sjw and hard left.
Truth is, if you attempted to get something like that going, RTE and other elements of the permanently outraged would have you shot down and made a laughing stock of in no time.
I am like yourself, i'd give a politician espousing such an approach my no. 1 but it is hard to come out and offer that.

That is what needs to change.
The media narrative. We have no one willing to defend the genuine common sense question.

It wasn't suitable. No hoax.

More suitable than the front office of a garda station.

This is what is wrong with public discourse this day, people pick tiny little holes and then refuse to look at the bigger picture which is a homelessness and housing crisis which is now endemic and getting worse. The school uniforms don't matter a jot!!!

Yup. They should get a house wherever they want, not live wherever there is a house, such as in Meath.

Why are we rewarding these chancers ????

They seem to keep popping out sprogs until they get a house?

You made an unsubstantiated posted and made disparaging remarks towards travellers.

Can you substantiate your post in regards what remarks were disparaging?

But very few people believe they were forced to do anything of the sort.
It's a scam. A hoax. A con. A publicity stunt. An act of leveraging children to get what you want. Tusla should take the kids. Then she can get a job.

Actually, there's nothing stopping her pumping out 15 more sprogs.

You need to stop with the selective reading, read the whole post.

You need to stop with your posting until you quote where they said the Gardai lied.

Both options weren't great.

Which one is better ?
