We used a 1 ring camping stove from argos for over a year until we could afford a cooker, you know the ones with the cans of gas?

I always laugh at the looks i got buying camping gas with snow outside

Pity more can't be like you
Another issue is credit lot of people will get stuff they cannot afford and put it on credit which usually means they end up paying twice the price in the end. Some will then say f*ck it and just not pay it.

There is a lot of that in society today where they see it as they have to keep up with the joneses and it's everyone else's fault.
There is no personal responsibility these days

Maybe join Justin Barretts party then?

He's far right and aligned helped lead the pro life movement. Pretty sure he's anti immigration too which isn't a good idea as we need more immigration to smooth out our national pension defecit that's coming down the road.
What we need is a completely new party that want to:
separate church from state
Pro choice
Pro immigration
Pro welfare reform (to stop the likes of cash)
Pro flat rate tax (to make sure everyone contributes)
Pro hard line on criminals.

I’d be for everyone of those as long as each immigrant had a criminal record check throughout Europe.
I’ve worked with a lot of nationalities and everyone of them has been excellent workers in Ireland and proud when they got their Irish citizenship which a lot of us take for granted.

To hell with the meeja, they wouldn’t be able to do much about it ... they can’t control boards, social media etc ...

Sadly a lot of people buy newspapers, or click online. And there is only one view emerging now from all quarters.

Boards is not accessed by many who buy de papers. SM is for the bewildered who want to be as good as those who post. I've been off it for a few years, and it's great!

Why does anyone work, pay childcare and mortgage ��

because they will own their own house. they will have greater opportunities to clime up the ladder. they will have a chance of promotion to a better job and earn more money. in my book those would be huge reasons.

I won't delete it, however I thought it was a post agreeing with him, but thanks for your consideration of my post.
And after reading it again, I still believe it was. If I am wrong I apologise.
But it's in the wording of the post. Quoting poster but using "he" and not "you" lead me to my comment.

You were wrong.

Very wrong.:mad:

we have to legally pay tax. she's from dublin and needs housing, everywhere else has people needing housing, that is why she's dublin's problem to deal with.



there are people outside dublin needing housing already. it is not the job of places outside dublin, to take the social housing tenants of dublin, when they have their own people to help, with little to no chances of being given the extra resources needed to help a large amount of people compared to what they would be used to. they barely have the resources to help who they need to help as it is, and are unlikely to get more. sorry, miss cash is your problem.



again, the arse end of nowhere has it's own people needing help. and yes i'd suspect she likely does need resources given she is a wellfare dependant.

You’re correct in your assessment of how the system currently works I.e. each local authority is responsible for housing people in need, in its own area. And yes, under the current system, Ms Cash is they responsibility of Dublin co council(city council?)

What I’m saying is, that the system should be changed. It should be made possible for cases like Ms Cash to be transferred to other county councils, where rents are cheaper, and a portion of Dublin co councils housing budget should transfer with them. That way, the exchequer pays less, as we are renting houses in more affordable areas. And it has the added benefit of reducing housing pressure(and ultimately rents) in places like Dublin. I expect though that policy changes like this will never happen. Just look at how Cork city and county council can’t agree where to draw a line on a map, and you get a feeling for how entrenched, unimaginative and generally inept local govt leadership is.

On the issue of extra resources for Ms Cash. She doesn’t need any. She is more than adequately provided for. It’s a mantra of charitable organizations like the SVP that you must help people to become self sufficient and not dependent on charity. They recognize that there is such a thing as giving too much help. I feel we are at risk of doing that with families like the Cash family

Or, work their arse off just to be on leveling playing field....




Sad state...

Me and my girlfriend are probably on the high end of salaries in Ireland for your normal worker (Software Dev and teacher) and even we could only afford a mortgage on 2 bed place in North Dublin and will probably never be able to have more than 2 kids.

I don't even think it's a level playing field, she's winning.

You can never ever compete with the likes of Ms Cash.

A job isn’t for life anymore, those on welfare have a guaranteed source of income with no fear of the sack,redundancy etc.

It’s a state financial babysitting service now.

The laws will never change drastically to enable a serious reform and drive people off it, the lifers currently on it 10/15/20 years are unemployable and will remain so.

Who’d employ someone in their 30’s/40’s/50’s with no work experience of any form in their cv?

Well whatever about the lifers that are on it, we can’t do much about them, but we do have a duty to stop this merry go round at some point to stop encouraging young people into a welfare life.
Someone should tell Regina Doherty Putting up PRSI to fo fund welfare is not the way to do that, indeed it only harms society further.

If you cut out the trips to the salon, the weekends out pi55ing cash down the toilet and buying every new iPhone, you would be surprised what and how many children can be afforded. But you can't be buying them all playstations and drones. Me and the OH have more than 2 kids and have a 3 bed semi in Dublin in an average area with similar jobs to you. It's tight, but we have never let money get in the way of family growth. We have always found a way.

On topic: The stunt pulled by that woman is not uncommon and it is disgusting how some people treat the rest of us as piggy banks.

the primary Abuser of us here is the government facilitating this bull****, even more so than ms moneybags, sorry, ms cash ...

Agree here its the lifers and the merry go round, so We've Mrs Cash + 7

how many will work and not contribute from the 7, how many children will the 7 have and do same, pyramid grows fast, this group get larger, those paying to fund it ie the 2 and 3 kid families quickly become outnumbered, and will have to be taxed more to fund it all. This is already happening it not something to fear in 10/15 yrs., its happening now today
