    The problem here is she's a member of the welfare culture who feel they are entitled to get everything for free and will engage in any manner to get it whether by pulling the above stunt or engaging in criminal behaviour.
    She's getting 55K a year tax free into her hand. She's going out on the piss, taking sunbed sessions while her husband is in jail for criminal behaviour which we again are paying for. All in all this family is probably costing taxpayers the bones of 150k a year (around 100k for her husband).
    There is no way you can argue that this women is not being supported.
    She is being supported far beyond any taxpayer in this country.

    Disability isn’t included in Ireland’s unemployed figures.

    So our lazy spongers are a lot higher than you think.

    I would bet my car that she will have a house before the year is out.

    So Canada isn’t a utopia compared to Ireland

    Walk down Front street in Toronto and there are at least a dozen proper tramps begging. They look a lot worse off than any beggars we have. Not much of a safety net for those that do fall on hard times. I don’t know if there are homeless charities though.
    Every country has its problems, some deal with those problems better than others.

    Exactly, no generous dole and no charity industry.

    That’s my point.

    Ireland is top of the list for how it treats its citizens who fall in hard times.

    This bint gives it a totally undeserved bad name.

    Yes 200,000 my bad.

    But still more when compared to Ireland and population ratio.

    Your rowing back on your stupid stats
    Canada may have 200,000 homeless but I’d bet you they are genuinely homeless, like on the streets in artic conditions not put up in a warm hotel room

    Think we’re agreeing on the same issue here.

    you're right, i'm not arguing that she's not being supported; and people who are arguing that are blinkered/are using this case to serve their agenda

    Yes it is
    Proper welfare
    Proper justice and prison system
    Excellent (free) education and health
    And it doesn’t have an inflated rental problem

    Before the month is out I would think

    Surprised no one has requoted this - it's not her fault, it's the government thats letting her down, she makes sure the kids are fed and cleaned with government money sic "our taxes" so why can't they give her an house. She does what she can with what she gets which isn't much :eek: It's hard to keep the alcohol flowing when you've got kids to look after and by god how much must it cost to take them all on holiday to Spain

    https://excal.on.ca/canadian-homelessness-york-research/

    Over 235,000 Canadians experience homelessness in Canada every year.

    On any given night, some 35,000 Canadians are homeless, according to a new report by York’s Canadian Observatory on Homelessness, or COH.

    Any childless man/woman seeking a home from the council will likely wait 40 years plus to get any offer of housing, meanwhile some of these career welfarers get multiple offers in the space of a couple of years and will choose to only accept the plushest 5 bed in the right area.

    Toronto is the kind of city were you're only one paycheck away from living on a park bench,you're literally tripping over homeless people on the streets, its capitalism on steroids.

    I've yet to see a real destitute beggar in Ireland (they don't exist), FFS they get enough money every week

    Do some research, Canada and the US has a huge opioid and alcohol problem, these people make up most of the homeless problem
    They don’t want help, it’s the same as our own real homeless population

    Oh right so that’s grand so.

    So we only have 135 real homeless people??

    Not bad at all.

    I’m just trying to understand how a person seeking work can’t find a job in Ireland.

    They could but then would have to live in a tent outside their workplace considering the cost of rental accommodation. Some of the posts in this thread are hilarious. It's like I've wandered into Breitbart.....

    Yes you are indeed correct, some my never be housed, single people that is.

    I am noticing 2 things happening country wide, people having multiples of children to get bumped up the housing list and people mysteriously having more kids once their youngest reaches 7 or in some cases others who haven't had children in 16/17 years, they fall into the category of the lady who is in the headlines where housing is concerned.

    No, it didn’t.

    Who are you aligned to ?
    We may have 135 people genuinely living on the streets, but the rest are in a far better place than those that have chronic addiction problems who live Day and night in a ****ty sleeping bag on Dublin’s pavements.
    I don’t doubt that some of those in hostels and hotels are real family’s that fell on hard times
    But a lot are just looking for a free “forever home”

    There is a trend beginning to form when it comes to housing or homelessness.

    Case 1:

    Lady in Cork with 9 kids on a beach, between her and her partner they have 13 children.

    Case 2: A couple living in a caravan/mobile home in North Cork.


    Case 3:
