    The best thing she can do for herself is to get out the limelight she currently craves, no private landlord or reit company will let her near their property's, she will always be dependant on the council or housing charities, and I would think a lot of her future neighbours housed in these schemes will resent her for her carry-on

    Why would she?

    Genuine question. If you were in her position, now, would you sit tight and wait for the mansion to be donated. Or would you do something?

    And, not being funny, but on a practical level, how would she? Dragging a bunch of kids around to viewings sounds like more than you'd get done in a day, after getting that number of them dressed and fed.

    It would also be utterly pointless. What private landlord would take them on, especially now.


    This is the problem.

    This idea that everyone else should pay is being validated by her circle of hunzos.


    She won't get off her backside (except for, shall we say, creating other bundles of 'income'), and why would she? Everything is being paid for for her!

    Just scanning thru this thread. Sad to see 90% of the comments are unsympathetic and almost aggressive to this woman and her kids. Yes it may be irresponsible to have 7 kids when you haven't the means to bring up one but at the same time they are just kids and they all are humans. You could have been born into that situation.

    I was born poor ffs - but I had parents who worked their arses off so we could eat.

    Do not DARE compare normal hard working families to this wastrel scum.

    I see she's out on her ear next Friday. DCC made a f**k up of her arrangements.

    https://www.dublinlive.ie/news/dublin-news/homeless-dublin-ireland-15056757

    A weeks trial and then a month to month basis

    She wasn’t promised anything more and she received exactly that


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,106 ✭✭✭PlaneSpeeking


    she's on the housing list, is technically homeless and is requiring emergency accommodation, so therefore that is why the council would be helping her.

    I have for sale this rare 24 carat gold plated unicorn ****e ?

    Anyone who believes the bold above will literally believe anything put in front of them.

    The pope is meeting homeless families.

    What a farce, a family of scammers will get to cry their eyes out publicly again.

    Wonder does the pope realise he’s been duped, and the families he meets will get bumped up the list again.

    Mrs Cash missed the boat and jumped too early.

    Silly girl.

    Where are the families of these homeless families?

    Let's face it she's having far too many kids first off to the point that she can't financially support them properly then want's a free house. There's no thought of having responsibility for their own actions or properly planning ahead.

    That's true to a point.

    But an economist might say that she acted rationally given the incentives that the government has put in place, under which more babies amount to more income and a greater chance of being housed for free by the state. This woman is 28, barely literate, with only a primary education. Her only means of earning more income is to have more babies and claim more in benefits. It would not surprise me if she ends up with 15+ kids by the time she is in her 40s.

    There's little incentive to act responsibly in Ireland. "Responsible" people are getting screwed by high taxes and extortionate costs of housing and child care, to the point where many college-educated people with decent jobs are despairing of ever having a home or a family of their own.

    The next time you see a politician campaigning for a "fair society" (i.e., higher welfare spending) ask him or her how this is "fair."

    What group do you reckon left it there????


    I remember years ago near Sligo there was a illegal camp set up in the hard shoulder and grass area.


    There was a wall of used vehicle batteries as high as a truck and as wide also.

    They can do what they want.

    She's a Traveller, with a criminal history, a criminal violent partner and wondering why she's not welcome in normal society.

    Right over the fence is a halting site which I have learned they are trying to close down and build housing for them.

    There is more than 1 photo, I just couldn't link it properly.

    I wonder if I lay around a field all day throwing rubbish around and soiling myself if they'd build me my own house for free?

    You'd have to be a Traveller, then yes.

    You'll need your open back transit pickup first to gather all said rubbish.


    There needs to be a book released on how to be a traveller, culture and entitlements.


    As well as the slang.

    Yet the only response is "not workable, not possible, hat about the kids who will inevitably go into crime ?" and that nonsense.
    You see, the problem here is that while on paper it works, it's not possible to make it work perfectly. There will always be cracks and exceptions.

    Let's take examples:
    No one working 40 hours a week should be worse off than a similar family on welfare
    . Lovely idea. How do we achieve it in practice? How do we guarantee that nobody who works 40 hours a week will ever be earning less than someone "similar" on welfare, even by 50c? You can increase minimum wage or decrease welfare rates, but this still won't eliminate the edge cases - the people who are, for whatever reason, working 40 hours but earning less than welfare.
    No child benefits for a third child (and leniency shown for a multiple birth in the third pregnancy);
    What is this achieving? How many people actually plan to have more children just to cash in on the child benefit? That is, versus the no. of people who have children and are dependent on the benefit?
    No child related benefits paid AT ALL if the child is not maintaining an 85% attendance rate at school;
    If the aim here is to keep kids at school, is this the most effective method?
    I would be more concerned that a parents' only motivation for sending their kid to school is the money they'll get back. That tells me there's a serious problem. At least if the parent can't be arsed, then these cases get flagged and sent to Tusla. If parents kick their kids out the door so they can cash in, then you're masking the issue and at-risk children get missed by the system.

    Horrible situation for anyone to be in regardless of how they got there. But if she can't support her kids why aren't they taken off her. That'll give her a chance to sort life out. When she can prove she can support her kids she can have them back. **** for the kids and her I agree but as bad as it will be it will be better than growing up in a dysfunctional homeless environment.
    They have no chance as it is.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,106 ✭✭✭PlaneSpeeking



    Oh ffs.

    More ****ing of the working class ? That's the ACTUAL working class obviously.

    What's the point any more ? There are some days only the fear of the sack and the work ethic instilled in me by my family gets me to work.

    Sure the poor kids would be traumatised being taken from their mother

    If only someone would give them their home forever then they can keep playing happy families esp when Daddy gets out of prison

    This is needed and relates in no way to this thread.

    It's about time the pensions issue is addressed. Hopefully for those people that decide to opt out of the planned schemed they won't be handed additional supports during their poverty stricken elder years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,516 ✭✭✭✭Blazer



    In fairness they have to do something. By the time we all go to retire in 20-30 years we’ll be lucky if there’s anything for us. You look at how those on social are breeding and a huge percentage of those will follow on the same track looking for free money etc.
    We’ll all need our own pension to even survive on a basic day to day existence.

    Unless you're a traveler you'd face a:
    maximum fine of €5,000 on summary conviction and/or imprisonment for up to 12 months,
