The newer articles on her court hearing make mention of the fact she was late too. No fine for that also the clothes were 'not recovered' so she didn't even have to give them back! Got off fairly easily in the grand scheme of things given the 38 previous convictions.

so she was "Travelling" when the verdict was read out , Fair enough

She could have been stealing them to sell, I see traveller women selling clothes out of cars regularly

She was probably giving an interview to the Jorunal or RTE about wrong Peter Casey was about criminality in the "traveller ethnic group".

Dont be racist now lads. Sure she's only
exercising a fundamental tradition of the cultural heritage of her ethnic minority.

Strange, was thinking it could be her previous address but her Tallaght address from before when she was in an a apartment on HAP was in Castle Park, Tallaght.

Maybe she has finally bought a place. As came up regularly in the previousn thread about her, it was very obvious she was far from poor with the amount of unnecessary spending on expensive items, inquiring about a house listed at €160K and also selling a caravan early this year for 4-5 figures.

Was there irregularities with the money there?

A huge amount of money was donated, I recall there was a significant surplus that was redirected into "related projects" with no further info given. Might be entirely honest but then again it might not. Given the unedifying sights whenever a light is shone on the inner workings of the Irish charitable sector I wouldn't be surprised by anything.

Very annoyed reading comments on people's posts about Margaret Elizabeth Cash and her kids. Saying they should be put into care and just really horrible and nasty cruel comments which are totally uncalled for . Now I met her kids ill tell you they are the sweetest kindest and most polite kids you will ever meet. If anyone wants to be cruel like this stay off my page I don't condone this hate campaign and towards innocent kids who by the way are very well looked after by their mammy. It's not nice these kids could be reading these comments when they are older. That's all I'll say on this matter!

Shared to Margaret's Facebook page :rolleyes: Infuriating.

38 previous convictions and risking going to prison / not being able to take care of your kids anymore not to mention her partner's many convictions too and taking your kids to a Garda station rather than buying a room at a hostel / hotel in the same week you've bought a TV, kid's wedding dress, tanning session, vodka & 2 cases of beer are not in my opinion examples of 'kids who by the way are very well looked after by their mammy'.

All Seeing Eye

Human offal is what comes to mind. How can anyone defend her on here!

AllForIt

^^^ Yeah great parenting to bring her kids with her to see her stealing - like a wildlife programme showing their offspring how to survive and hunt for themselves.

She also has less class than horse****.

I don’t know why posters are getting so uptight about I saying that she isn’t that stupid. I was only giving her credit about being so knowledgeable about stealing and claiming state benefits.

Why does she never seem to be on Paveen Poiintless radar, has she burnt her bridges with them.

Judge: "where is client"
Solicitor: "On the bus"
Judge: "Contempt of court. 30 days."

Wait! This is Ireland. We'll have a chat in the court once she shows.
38 convictions, but she did say she's not doing drugs anymore, and the Gardai had nothing recent on her. Well, good enough, no need to spend any time behind bars.

:mad::mad::mad:

She's unable to live within the constraints and expectations of society and shes likely to raise her children in a similar fashion.

The wheel goes 'round.

I hope people aren’t suggesting Peter Casey is right. That would be awful.

What do all her bleeding hearts supporters have to say about this?

Haven't read the whole thread so not sure if it was already asked, did Margaret not play the culture card... ? Doing it for hundreds of years and the ethnic minority group thingy thing, did that not cover her actions too..

So the housing neglect by the state is justified due to a misdemeanor? Are you in favour of every person housed by the state who has ever appeared in court on a misdemeanor be evicted?

If you are suggesting that Ms Cash has been "neglected" by the Irish State,you will really have to come up with some level of evidence for this.

From any reasoned persons perspective,our State has,over an extended period of,at least 7 pregnancies,has substantially contributed to this lady's continued wellbeing.

Can you suggest some parallell manner in which the Irish State could have made any more realistic a contribution,given that the Lady in question does not appear to have accumulated a contribution history with Revenue or DSP ?

It is a genuine & relevant question as to how this,or any,Government can be expected to fully provide for ALL the Lifestyle requirements of a single-parent with 7 dependent children,when it would appear the childrens father is either unwilling,unable or unasked to contribute anything to the process.

To address your final point regarding eviction,although somewhat disingenuously worded,I would personally have little issue with such a person having such a sanction applied,somewhere around the 5th or 6th such "misdeamour" (as you describe it).
In this lady's case,I regard 38 previous convictions as rather compelling evidence of a far more ingrained disregard for not alone The Laws of Ireland,but also for the rights of other,law abiding citizens,to safely use the States roads without being exposed to serial RTA offenders.

It is obvious that your perceptions of this Lady's situation are far more benign than many other posters,however even you,must at some point have to address,some of the rather glaring issues which have been apparent from the very outset of this particular "campaign".

Sadly,in this case,as with many other such Media Friendly issues recently,Truth is the first victim.

according to facebook

It must be wonderful to be so perfect that you can judge other people.

Yes but why did she rob. Yes she's made mistakes in the past. She's doing her best now for her kids so give her a chance

she's a fighter and she's standing up for every homeless person in this country as well as her own family trying to change this rotten system xx

She is feeding and clothing her children..a mum a
Strong girl

Tis awful sad

She did indeed, she did what they all do and avoided responsibility like the plague and didn't show up. Its their culture
