Not in the slightest and congratulations on missing the point spectacularly.

There would be a lot more funding to go round to the GENUINE needy if a good 50 grand wasn't meekly handed over to useless scammers like this.

Are you saying to leave landlords houses idle and build more houses?

Fair enough, I don't think they should be building social welfare estates though. That would create a divide, 'that's the council estate' I think a good way to create balance would be for the council to be offered the chance to buy 10% of all new estates at cost which they could then rent out at reduced rates to people who need them. I know what sort of airy fairy world do I think we can create!

I grew up on a council estate, not loads of detached houses neither - prewar terraces.

No harm done there!

Her surname suits her well. She's all about getting some cash handed to her by the taxpayer. No itnerest in working to support her family.

They could save an enormous amount of money by encouraging Apartment blocks instead of houses... and that anyone receiving a "house" or apartment should be given a mortgage to pay off, just like the rest of us have to do.

She's made her FB page private now I see... She doesn't want Joe public seeing what she gets up to for entertainment.

A working person would have to earn over 80k to have 54,000 net income.

Makes a mockery of everybody who's up and out early every morning.

It's inspired me to bugger off at half four instead of 5, so I might make it into the house before 7.

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

homerjay2005 · 10-08-2018 04:22PM

is there any reported circumstances of why or how they became homeless? one of the links suggests they were being made homeless last december when she was in court, so thats 8 months ago.

usual issues are lease was up and rent went up/landlord sold house/not paid the rent etc etc?

No, I'm saying build more state-owned houses and allow the market to continue doing its thing with the privately-owned ones.

To avoid creating any such divide, there should (a) be enough council houses to ensure security of tenure for anyone who needs one, and (b) they should be rented to anybody, and not just social welfare recipients and very low earners. The Workers' Party has some very good proposals on this.

The rest of us don't 'have to' pay off a mortgage - some of us are paying off our landlords' mortgages instead.

Not everybody wants or needs to buy their own home. What people do want is affordability and security of tenure.

October 2007 i remember hearing an interview on Tipp Today with Seamus Martin about a woman in Thurles with mental health issues who was genuinely homeless referred to the Garda station and left sitting on the bench until the town council opened the next day. This was a few years before a shelter opened in Thurles.

The woman ended up living in a tent iirc up the mall riverwalk. No offers for the most needy. Largish town that would've have had empty properties.

And it takes all the tax paid combined by say ... everyone working in a little local shop to pay Little Ms. 50k

Posts of bottles of cans and naggins, bragging about going on a sesh, extravagant communion dresses, fake tans, buying Waterford crystal, saying she got a new house 3 weeks ago for starters.

Just done a quick calc - I take home just a nudge below 30k.

For a 60 hour week and a bitch of a commute.

So so wrong that wasters are getting that.

Almost 30 years of teaching and paying lots of tax etc., I get 300 a week pension.
I should have popped a few out, not bothered finishing school and gone on the rob.

Sundew · 10-08-2018 05:21PM

This story is just making my blood boil.

I’m an accidental landlord.... bought a one bed at height of boom ( on 2 wages) started family...wasn’t feasible to continue living in one bed ( too small).
OH a native of the city,decided to get new job outside Dublin ( due to property prices and rising rents for bigger properties). we relocated and moved in with family. I had to resign from my job of nearly 20 years in Dublin to facilitate the move!

The Goverment just built one and 2 bed apartments so they could have us, working eejits, as drones, working to pay for the likes of this one, breeding like a rabbit, and getting all her freebies. Medical card etc.
The housing crisis/ rental prices has now been an ongoing problem since at least 2003 so this lady would have known well that having 6/7 kids without a permanent income and depending on handouts, was not going to be in her best interests. I dont mind my taxes going to folks who need them but supporting spongers like this makes me sick! The hardship and sacrifices some people are going through to actually put a roof over their head,whilst she refuses emergency accommodation in a neighbouring county.
Currently I am renting my apartment out to a fantastic foreign couple ( both working and who have started a family in the one bed). They work hard and no doubt are saving to either buy or relocate home.

When I started working after college there was just an indigenous work population where I started...by the time I left I had work mates from at least 20 countries.....not one of them “ workshy”. Some didn’t even have good English when they started but they all mucked in, learnt English, did the overtime and bettered themselves...and then to hear about this one who feels she is entitled to get a house in Tallaght, whilst she has done absoutely zilch to better herself....and the sad thing is, the kids will know no better. The 11 year old will be looking for a free house in 7 years time, whilst I will have to fork out rent and fees for my young one going to college!

OK, we've all had good whinge about it now and we rightly are screwed by this behaviour. What can actually do? We can't just complain on a forum and not do anything. There must be a list of items we can do and push back on this crap. Can people help me compile the list?

Don't worry, the Pope will be over here soon, encouraging babies and spreading Jewish gold to keep the good Catholics in the style they've become accustomed to.

First thing we can do is cap childrens allowance.
Second thing is offer proper sex education in school.
Third thing we can do is get the state to start to build social housing again
Fourth thing we can do is stop giving this emotional blackmail any airtime.
