Stunt? Where the **** would you like them to sleep? The middle of a motor way?

And I didn't know homeless people had a bad rep.

You right-wing fanatics on boards are turning more & more closer to Fascism each day.
Next they'll be saying just shot the homeless, kids & all, like the Nazi's did with people who were a so-called "embarssment" to the state.

You people are some cold hearted bastards.

Rather than asking stupid questions and making comments that you probably think are smart, why not look at the alternative systems of voting used in other European democracies? And if you don't know where to look, then why not ask a grown-up to help you.

Good luck getting anything other than that from this user.

She gets enough money from the state to rent but has failed to get anywhere on the island and now wants to be put at the top of a housing list by getting her kids to pose in a garda station.
Its all a stunt and you've obviously fallen for it!


Maybe I am but that doesn't mean it's not a stunt!

Yep, it's all a stunt. Several thousand sleeping rough in Dublin every night, stunt, their all just sleeping rough to get ahead of the quee, it's a criminal conspiracy.

And so what if it was a stunt? If I was in her shoes I'd pull every string, to make sure my 6 kids get a proper home.

I remember a few months ago watching a documentary East Germany about people who used to live in the state, they said they were glad all the restrictions on what they could & couldn't do were gone but missed the certainy of having a roof over their head, food in their stomach & having a job (And that Stalin loved them j/k).

She gets a grand a week into her hand courtesy of the taxpayer.
Tell me why she was unable to find a home anywhere and was forced to sleep rough with her brood?

A grand a week with 7 mouths to feed 7 bodies to clothes goes nowhere.

In 2009 I lost my job & I was on the dole for a year & a half, couldn't afford a flat of my of my own so I had to share with 3 other lads, and money was still tight, I got my dole on Monday and it was gone by the Saturday.

No point in apportioning any blame on Daly, Wallace or Murphy. They are not in govt., and more than likely will never be in govt.

eh? its them and their ilk thats driving us into a welfare state. just because they are not in government, it doesnt mean the have no influence.

Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Labour are to blame. You can’t blame PBP, Socialist Party, Sinn Féin for this mess.

During the boom McCreevy was increasing child benefit rates at every budget. Lone parent was until recently paid up until the child was 14 Ffs. A woman could live most of her working age life on benefits just by having more children.

With the legalisation of abortion in this country there’s now an opportunity to abolish lone parent and child benefits completely. Sponger turns up at welfare office or CWO seeking to claim money.

“If you cant afford the child the nearest abortion clinic is here for an abortion. Claim rejected, Good day Ms”

Prosecute parent(s) who bring a child into this world without the means to take care of it. Billed by the state for care of the child by HSE/Tusla. (Another topic for another thread)

If you’re a man under 25 you’re only entitled to €100/150 JSA. You don’t seek work and you’re sanctioned. A woman just has to drop out a child and she gets bumped up to full €198 rate on lone parent guaranteed for at least 7 years. Reduced rates should be applicable immediately for Lone Parent Allowance too. It’ll discourage young scumbag families from breeding children like cattle to maximize their incomes.
Abolish child benefits for children born on 00:00 January 2020. Existing claimants paid in lieu of vouchers for food, clothing, educational materials dispensed by schools based on attendance after age 4. Ban school uniforms nationwide or at least have them all the same colour with iron on crests provides by the schools.
I assume the btsa was paid yesterday? All the scumbag type families in Nenagh and Thurles scanning cases of alcohol and party cups at the self service tills.

Priority housing firstly for elderly, disabled, vulnerable/genuinely homeless people, those who’ve lost their houses to the banks and longest on waiting list . Prosecution for neglect and removal of children from parents like Ms Cash who try to jump up the list.

Benefits suspended for any form of antisocial behavior by claimants or their children over 12. Deductions on resumption for any damages/loss they have caused.

Before you think I’ve got something against people on benefits. I support increases for those on JSA genuinely seeking work and disability claimants.

And sorry that's my mix-up I should have said homeless not sleeping rough.

There were 9,874 people homeless in the week of June 18th-24th 2018 across Ireland. This figure includes adults and children with their families.

https://www.focusireland.ie/resource-hub/about-homelessness/

So nearly 10,000 homeless people in Ireland.

Even still tho, over 100 sleeping rough in Dublin in March 2018 is a stain on this island.

That was probably poor Paul D***e RIP. who suffered from alcohol and mental health problems. He had been sent to rehab but couldn't hack it. His parents lived nearby but he wouldn't (or couldn't) live with them.

Hard to understand why any half-decent human being would make a smartass remark about the Anglo-Irish agreement when discussing his tragic life and death.

People used to call him Buller.

And WTF are you on about? What smartass remark?
That's a fact that the Irish working class in the early 20th century were barely surviving. Dublin was the poorest city in Western Europe & one of the top 5 in Europe. Just look at some of the pictures of the Dublin slums from around 1910, young lads from about 6- 14 years old who can't even afford shoes or socks on their feet & are half starving. Without the safety net that so many far-right people on here would like to destroy we'd be back to that.

So basically leaving the housing list alone .


those on the longest should be housed as quickly as possible ,
Separate list for the elderly and disabled (maybe run by a housing association for their needs )

Proper rents for those in social housing below market but about the low rents currently charged failure to pay rents in social housing (evictions and no access to social housing ) until you prove you will pay rents ,
Pulling stunts or solicitation to the media to skip the que automatic removal from the list

The 10000 number is fake news.

Those who are truly homeless are those on the streets... many of whom choose to be there and won’t accept emergency accommodation.

100 of 1.8 million is a tiny tiny number.

Homeless crisis = fake news pushed by PBP AAA

Fake News? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah a yes Triple A have left the car insurance business to go into the Fake News business.
Thanks I needed that.

I wonder will the Daily Show, John Olivier or Colbert put your post on one of their shows this week.
