    Another trick these Cash type outside of Dublin are doing to get houses is choosing rural secluded areas on the application (areas listed e.g Ballycahill, Drom etc) where there’s no council houses or where all the houses were sold to tenants. both areas mentioned above are like this. Housing stock sold through tenant purchase schemes in the past 30 years. Why? Because the Council then buys houses in these areas for them. A woman like Cash who never worked a day in her life, grandmother at 31 etc they recently purchased a house for her just outside Templemore for over €200k just under an acre of land too with it. The person reportedly at the time won a large sum of money on the national lottery and Tipperary County Council never took this into account despite it well publicized in local press. I know it’s tax free but it certainly isn’t exempt from declaration.

    No no, if she never worked, she's entitled to a free house!

    The cut off of what the top 1% earn will obviously be much less then the average ..... that's not surprising to me but it seems to be to you.

    Give them a chance so and lets see what they can do , what s going on up north is very different from here. NI politics is unique.

    Sinn Fein and the Independents had an opportunity to go into Government but turned it down bit bull**** excuses. Just shows that's they can only make empty promises

    I very much understand that, the point stays the same , the top 1% the ones with most of the wealth in Ireland are privy to ways of hiding wealth within the law that cost the tax payer in the very same way that Margaret Cash and her ilk cost the tax payer,yet people are focusing on her and her kind rather than them and their kind.

    Maybe it’s because no one begrudges hard grafters their lifestyles whereas leeches who want everything handed to them without them having to lift a finger, are treated with contempt.

    The top 1% are the ones that create employment, take risks, and keep the economy ticking over. The bottom end needs them but the opposite doesn't apply.

He s demented from me bringing stuff up on spotify and asking him to play along, I just find it fascinating how quick he gets it. Thanks for that story about the woman ....have you any stories you want to share about settled people doing each other out of money or property or do you only collect the ones about travelers.
    Who ultimately foots the bill for the back to education scheme?

    Civilized modern societies who encourage their citizens to upskill in order to benefit all in the long run.

    I've never heard anyone "begrudging" Jimmy Carr..No one begrudges Dara O Briain (apart maybe from having an extra i in his name), or Dylan Moran say..No one begrudges Cillian Murphy say, or Pierce Brosnan..(I pulled up Irish actors and comedians on google..)..No one begrudges Gary Lightbody, or Neil Hannon..

    People do probably begrudge Bono..and maybe Geldof..and, of course, your mate with the vision impairment..

    What do they have in common I wonder?..What insight could we possibly glean into this whole phenomenon of Irish begrudgery that you speak of, which plagues us as a nation..

    What have all those other people got to do with my post , were they found out to be cleverly avoiding tax as well? I don t know how I missed all that. Very disappointing I like all those people.

    To be fair I know a lot of people who dropped out of school for various reason, e.g mental health and/or bullying, major illness and have later succeeded thanks to BTEA and Vtos. Secondary school doesn't suit everyone hence why there's Youthreach programs run by the Vec' in every county. It's to be commended someone going back to education to upskill. Best of luck to the person

    Absolutely I do, as long as they have genuine reasons for not taking their first chance.

    Considering the travelling communitie's attitude towards education, I doubt if this was the case here.

    That's because, like so many on this thread, you're a massive racist.

    Avoiding tax?

    I don’t k is one person who ever paid more tax than they legally had to.

    There is nothing wrong with tax avoidance once it’s legal.

    You’re mixing it up with tax evasion.

    I am normally a very compassionate person, but after a few dozen negative encounters with the traveller community some of which have been extremely violent I find it very hard to sympathize with them in any way.

    Can you imagine 100% social house build right next to this leftie dimwit.

    I’m sure he would be out welcoming his new neighbours.

    G'way with your *yawn* - if you make that kind of assumption, based solely on someone's ethnicity, you're a racist.
