She would not be getting Jobseekers and One Parent together.
I get your point but at least check the facts.
She would have just under 200e pw for herself and just under 30e x 6 for each child.

Gives the lie that we are an uncaring nation towards those who do not and will not contribute. A worker would need to earn twice that to come out with the net benefits, adding in childcare and commuting costs, mortgage, high rents, insurance and so on.

I accept that some people on benefits cannot work, are disabled, etc.

But this lot! Sorry now.

That’s €3760pm including the €1000 RA?

That can't be right. I don't even earn that and work a 40 hour week on a high wage!

Why is RTE still reporting this story? You’d think that they would have pulled it when they started to get the facts.

Same ! But there was 14 in the house . My mother always says there was one in the big bed , one in the drawer (chest of drawers) one in Nana's belly and 10 scattered around the house ! They just got on with it .

They ought to be ashamed of themselves. The contributors to and taxpayers of this country deserve a lot better than reporting this type of stunt as being a stain on all our characters.

Journos research tools make them look like total tools now also.

I would be most reluctant to classify Philip Boucher Hayes as a "Journalist".

She refused accommodation yesterday before she entered the Garda station

Her children didn't sleep in a bed last night because of her and no one else

As above she refused accommodation yesterday. In her own words.

Ah will you look at that. Turns out I was right. She turned down accommodation last night & decided to exploit her children. They had an offer of beds for all but she turned it down..

Almost all of these attention seekers are fake. Most genuine homeless people are too ashamed (&they shouldn't be) to put their own name in the public let alone their children. Usually the ones willing to put their names forward, as in this case, are scammers.

She turned down accommodation & set up a photo shoot.

They always hang themselves with the Holy Facebook

Guess what? We didn't have to wait days or weeks. She left her Facebook page up. She wasn't made homeless yesterday. She made herself homeless yesterday & refused the offer of accommodation

Sleeper, stop feeding it

Sorry, 3360. 6 kids would horse through that money pretty quickly though.

No wonder they can all go to Disneyland.

If you don't have commuting costs, mortgage, childcare fees, and all the rest of the working life costs, it's no wonder some are raging at the entitlement culture out there.

Why shouldn't people question this largesse, with no payback from them towards anything in the country apart from bleating about their entitlements.

I know it is not everyone. Just to mention. Most people whether working or not have personal dignity. A lot just do not seem to have that though and are proud of saying it to all and sundry.

Tide is turning now. I think.

She was offered a room in Meath last night, not the house she desires.

So she had the choice of her children sleeping in beds or the photo shoot in Garda Station last night. She did have somewhere to go. I'm not really supprised. I knew from the get go that she would get homeless people a bad name.

I'm sure not too many want to listen now but we do still have thousands of genuine people on the housing list willing to play by the rules and wait their turn.

youll have to excuse me for having zero sympathy for someone who fails to turn up for NUMEROUS bench warrants for receiving stolen property. That stolen property is what is forcibly taken from our homes when we are in work, or in our beds leaving us in fear in our own homes.

Anyone not seeing through this scam is a complete fool.

Wouldn't it be ironic if her husband was in jail for burglary of your house? 😁

The media is pulling the proverbial horn off themselves over the "homeless" crisis that if anyone with a calculator does the maths you see it affects point 5 of a percentage of the population. Of course its horrible for those it affects but very bluntly looking at it, It's hardly a crisis compared to things like the stuff happening in the HSE and numbers sick or dying waiting on trolleys.

This weird obsession people have with it must be something to do with our oppressed past and landlords throwing people onto the streets in famine times. I just don't get it.

“yes i finely got a bita gud news and then i was told the council wouldnt pay the rent on the house because of a number of different reasons Inga Mazonaite &#55357;&#56840;&#55357;&#56840;&#55357;&#56840;”

Inga is who she was replying to.

Like how she hasn’t expanded on the number of different reasons.

The wouldn't pay the rent for her?? The cheek of them. I wonder what the reasons where

I can't find the quote but in her own words it went something like "it was Meath and not Dublin. Too far from mammy" according to posts earlier on in the thread.
Maybe someone else can post the link

Edit : it was reported on the 9 o clock news that she turned down a place in Meath

It's worth noting that that would be her mother's grave.

Grab All Association · 09-08-2018 10:14PM

It’s a sad fact that children in this country are bred like cattle so as to collect child benefit and social housing. These children are let run wild and go on to have more children in their teens and the cycle begins again and again. On the Council estate up the road from my house there’s 4 teenage girls under 16 pregnant. One of these girls and her scummy boyfriend stole my neighbours chainsaw last year. Impunity from prosecution if you’re a scumbag it seems.

I worked for a town council for over 3 years and shared an office with the housing section. I seen sick/disabled people getting turned away whilst there’s no end to the investment in housing the above.

What needs to happen is child benefits scrapped and paid in lieu of vouchers dispensed by national/secondary schools tied to attendance.

No more family housing built by local authorities. One bed/two bed flats/houses instead allocated to single/couples/disabled/elderly.

If you want to have 7 children then you can go source accommodation in the private market.

:

She said she did not sleep, was minding her children all night, and that is why she decided to post the images on Facebook.

Ms Cash said she was referred to the garda station after alternative accommodation was not secured.

She said a place was offered to her late last night but it was unsuitable because it was in Co Meath and had room for just five children.

Ms Cash said she has secured accommodation until at least Monday through the Inner City Helping Homeless charity.

Who referred this woman to the Garda Station ?

I have a sense that Ms Cash is functioning as a pliable actor,for some,as yet unknown,"activists" in the homelessness sector.

There were too many attributed quotes from sectoral advocates on this case from the outset.

Stage Managed is the term I find suits it most.

Any links?

My relatives are buried up country, we visit around Christmas and/or on their Anniversaries. But they are in our hearts anyway.

Must be the culture thing. All mouth and no trousers, or as my mam used to say, fur coat and no knickers.

All for the optics.

has she? where, how and by who? exploitation of children would be a crime surely?

Dictionary definition of exploit :
make use of (a situation) in a way considered unfair or underhand.

"the company was exploiting a legal loophole

She exploited her children by making them homeless for her Facebook photo shoot when they could /should have been asleep in a safe bed that I help pay for.

Social services need to take a long look at her.

because they spent the night in a garda station? come on now, a garda station. a garda station would likely be the safest place to be for the children and if there were any issues, the gardai would be quick to deal with it. if the gardai had any evidence the children were in danger then social services would have been called.

Because she had an offer of safe beds for her children but she choose to prop them up on chairs in the Garda station. She made her children homeless when they did not need to be.

Fine, but does that really warrant her keeping her kids from real beds rather than a cop shop.
Also were the hell did her fella go, the comments on her Posts from family and friends calling out people that have seen her posts over an age and try to discredit them are pathetic

He's not, because they never even caught the cowardly scum who kicked in the front door of a 5f 5 woman in her own home to try to take what I've worked for. They probably tried to pass my bits and pieces to the likes of Ms. cash.

But yet the Govt are happy to take 4/lk month from me in taxes and give me nothing back.

this is bul***, I'm more annoyed at people falling for it.

redshoes15 · 09-08-2018 10:20PM

Not looking for sympathy here first off. 38 yr old female here. Always planned on having a family. Due to circumstances, some within, some beyond my control it’s never happened. What was in my control in my decision making was my ability/inability to provide for my much wanted family. I haven’t been fortunate to take my first step on the property ladder despite being in steady employment from the age of 14. I could never justify bringing a child/children in to this world without the ability to provide for them. To ensure that the basics were taken care of: food on the table, a warm bed to sleep in and a permanent roof over their heads. My biological clock is ticking and in the next couple of years my body will no longer be safely able to carry a child/children. The current property market makes it impossible for me to get on the property ladder, I earn a decent wage but not that decent. My employer does not pay maternity benefit. It boils my urine when I see women/mother’s like this. Not at her obvious bending of the truth. Not for her milking the system. I don’t know this lady. What gets me is the sense of entitlement. I have a child/children, I therefore deserve a house where I don’t have to worry about mortgage repayments. I won’t have to spend a fortune maintaining that house for the next 50 years. I deserve my forever home because I bore a child and am willing to let tax payers supply my income, provide maintenance in place of an absentee father, supply free medical care, provide school uniforms etc. etc. etc. There is something fundamentally wrong in a country where a generation of young women think they are entitled to so much because they bore a child. Some may think I speak from jealousy or envy, I assure you I don’t. My concern is for the generations to come, what lessons they are being taught and the lessons they are not.

You only have to look at the All Day Publicity and reporting about this on every media outlet to know this.

But I think our National Broadcaster, to whom we pay a fee should be far more professional about their research and reporting.

I doubt there will be many stories about the hard pressed commuter getting up at 5 am and returning at 7 or 8 pm in order to pay the mortgage and also, provide for the entitled cohort.

Something has to give soon.

Where are the fake homeless people supposed to broadcast their Facebook nonsense from if there is no Garda station in your area. Its anti homeless shutting down these stations

I'm genuinely sorry to see you are a victim crime. I hope my attempt at humor isn't in bad taste

This!!! She wanted a few likes and a bit of attention on Facebook .She thinks she is being clever and will get the sympathy vote from the council and get what she demands . It will probably work too given the media attention it has received .

Have you tried the council for a mortgage? Might be worth looking into.
