Maybe that could have reduced some of the unnecessary children that we are all funding.

If she fixes herself and Johnny I would be thrilled.

This is truly astounding.

I've worked tirelessly for ten years to afford a two bed apartment in Dublin which I'm now paying a big mortgage on. Friends of mine can't even afford to get a property despite being in full-time jobs. Other friends are being out-bid by vultures and the council themselves.

This woman who has never worked a day in her life and yet gets more money than I do (after tax) every year elaborately plans to shove her six kids (at the age of 26, no less) into a Garda station for the night, videos it and then releases it all over the net just gets handed a fecking three bed apartment. Sure why not? Get RTé in on it too.

It shows how utterly out of touch our media and politicians are with the general public of Ireland that they think it's a good thing to promote this woman as a success story and giving her this apartment as something we should all be happy for. Sickening really, maybe me and the missus should've just scrapped using contraception and popped out a few young'uns instead of working to get our apartment.

Is raising children not considered work these days?

Really ? You need that explaining ???

She has no intention of doing what she claimed.

Ah, I get your spin now.

No it's not - it's an incredibly difficult life choice.

Work is what benefits others.

So I was right all along, go homeless and get bumped up the list.

And people wonder why the homeless numbers increase.

Brain dead.

If this is a work ms Cash must be fired immediately.

This one is going to be interviewed by Miriam O Callaghan this morning.

I wonder will any difficult question be asked? (I typed that with a straight face).

MOC was tweeting about this, I asked Miriam was she going to mention the husband but no reply as of yet.

Funny enough I know quite a few people who left Ireland because of the repressive regime of tax on workers and how that tax money was spent. In effect, they became economic migrants; much to the benefit of the countries that they immigrated to.

High tax for good quality services would be worth it (in my opinion), but high tax to support an out-of-control welfare system is just a ticking time bomb that some people do not want to be around for.

well yeah. my post wasn't an entirely flippant one. if the welfare regime is that bad you have the option of finding a less repressive one. obviously not that simple if you're settled down with family though.

Based on this story, I've started my degree in social welfare. Their website is very informative.

It turns out that I might be entitled to a welfare payment I haven't bothered claiming. Also, I'm off now to the doctor with my application for a medical card. Also, I reckon I could put on the poor mouth and get another couple of entitlements. I feel an anxiety attack coming on.

If I sold the house I worked hard to pay for, would I then be homeless?

Now where am I going to get 7 children. I wonder would the Cash cow lend me hers.

It looks like they can't be beaten. Might as well join in at the trough. It might just speed up the day that the state realises this cannot be sustained any longer.

Wheeliebin30 · 16-08-2018 12:18PM

Is she pregnant again?

Edgware · 16-08-2018 12:18PM

Tallaght Garda station has erected barriers and anyone requiring housing must take a ticket and be dealt with in turn.
It's like queuing for Clery's sale

I applaud her for raising 7 children in the midst of this personal crisis. They all look very happy.

I hope Garda stations are inundated now following ms Cash’s success. It’s not their fault of course but you (the state) reap what you sow.

I can’t wait until a GE so I can vent on every single door knocking politician! It will do fcuk all but I’ll feel better. I’ve had enough of this.

Job done. Forever home. No rent . Salary of €50k

Odd that he didn't wish the childrens' father the very best of luck in his forthcoming court trial.

22michael44 · 16-08-2018 12:28PM

do folks here regard the UK system as a better, more desirable one? they're certainly a lot stricter about benefits, but also i think it'd be objectively fair to say that people there are at a much higher risk of ending up homeless (genuinely homeless). like a run of bad luck away from ending up on the street.

Ah bless, another wastrel mouth to feed. Should take her comfortably into the 5k a month tax free bracket I'd say.

zeebre12 · 16-08-2018 12:31PM

Miriam asks the most stupid questions 'Would you like to get a job in the future?' I'm sure she'd love to work 9 to 5 five days a week and pay taxes. Why would she?
Also Mags Cash says 'if they'd only give me a house to sit in in the day time' I can't sit in my house during the day time as I actually have work to go to. Tis a great little country.

mikemac2 · 16-08-2018 12:35PM

This isn't your forever home neither. So we will all fight on.. this is only a shut you up for now apartment because your making a show of them... x

Mary Lennon i no dis like i said THE BATTLE HAS JUST BEGUN we will continue to fight not just for me but for every1 else x ❤

Cancel those celebrations. The three bed isn’t a forever home so the fight goes on

Not a word of gratitude for the 3 bed like

. Some reek of entitlement going on

Corb_lund · 16-08-2018 12:35PM

There seems to be a lot of confusion around what people are entitled to. Say I sold my house and quit my job. Would the government still give me my jobseekers allowance? Would they find me accommodation?

John_Rambo · 16-08-2018 12:37PM

This is hilarious! The internet is foaming at the mouth!!
