    Another beaut from Limerick on radio this evening. Homeless and put up in a hotel with six kids. No mention of a father and obviously no idea of contraception.
    A great little country

    Sure movie stars live in hotels, some life!

    Sure jimmys willy wanted a new mantle decoration. And sure god help her she’s only on 50 grand a year she couldn’t afford it. The government left her no other choice. She’s not to blame, she’s the victim here.

    I’ve come to the conclusion the whole Margaret Cash lifestyle is a business model. Every extra kid gets you extra money and more of a chance of getting a free house. Woman not too far away from me with 4 kids and now split up from partner with new man moved in. So now she’s getting all her benefits and maintenance every week in cash from the father of the kids. The new man will also be paying into the house. If they ‘decide’ to have a kid then she’s getting more money and trapping the new man aswell. She’s a winner all round from just basically being a slag.

    Not really sending the right signal when you have charts like this on citizensinformation.ie showing how much you can earn for up to 8 children as if it's a target to be met

    to be fair it’s their job to show people what they are entitled to. Only a fcuking clown would look at it as some sort of goal to meet.

    What size council house would you get if you had eight children?

    An interesting question to ask any council that would answer honestly would be whether having 'a lot' (say 4+) children is actually beneficial or hinders their chances because none of the councils have a large stock of houses with more than 3-beds and they aren't focusing on building any either. They may have internal guidelines that a family of 8-9 may have to be housed in a house with at least 4,5 bedrooms.

    Based on the amount of time Margaret has been on the list, she should in theory be expecting to be housed within the next 3-4 years but it's quite possible that her continuing to have more kids has / is affecting her chances of being housed.

    Why kids should dictate the size of the house you are offered is beyond me - when I was a kid I shared a double bed in one room with my two brothers.
    I turned out alright (I think)

    Who knows. I don’t think it necessarily caps at 8 either. I just don’t think anyone really expected someone to be crazy enough to have more than that :pac:

    Calling it now, the Sun or another Irish tabloid is going to start treating her like a celebrity now and report on all her ramblings and protests. 98FM said of today's interview that it was their most controversal ever. I guarantee even after this latest news the media is now going to give her more attention instead of less!

    Take a working man with a non-working spouse, no children, earning 50k, who first pays tax of around 10k on his income in 2018. He has a rent of 1500 a month which leaves his bank account the same day he gets paid, so like Margaret Cash he has an income of 50k a year, but after tax and rental payment, he has 22k.

    If you want to compare a hard-working person getting up early every day to Margaret Cash, you can compare like with like.

    So, a married person with a non-working spouse, earning 75k per year, pays tax of around 22k, leaving him with €52,649 per year, less 18k in rent, leaves him and his spouse after tax and rent with €34,649, less than Margaret Cash.

    Now, if you or others heard of a man earning 75k a year robbing clothes from Pennys, what would you say?

    Now, we have all heard Margaret Cash ranting about TDs outside the Dail and how the gubberment are all robbing her. So how does Margaret Cash compare to a TD?

    TD's salary is €93,599. A single person, paying 6.5% pension contribution, as well as tax, on a TD's salary is left with €54,477 after tax and pension contribution.

    http://services.deloitte.ie/tc/Results.aspx


    Take away the rent of €1500 a month, 18k annually that he pays on the apartment he rents in Dublin and he is left with €36,477, a mere €477 more than Margaret Cash. However, unfortunately for him, I haven't included the pension levy, which when applied is another €6k approximately, which leaves him with €30k into his hand, a full €6k less than Margaret Cash.

    If she were to run for election I might just give her a vote so that she can learn how the real world lives.



    Look at the figures.

    A single person working in the public service would have to earn around 100k to end up as well off as Margaret Cash. That is the real disgrace in Ireland because there are thousands and thousands of nurses and guards and firemen and teachers working their asses off every day, and they are not as well off as the likes of Margaret Cash, and they never get their forever home.

    Add in the cost of the doctors visits that most working people are paying for and drugs etc, travelling to work expenses etc etc

    You can’t compare these hypothetical childless people with a parent of whatever many kids she has. Child benefit is 140 a month, payable to all your examples if they have kids. However it’s nowhere near enough to feed and clothe a child, never mind pay for any other activities they do.

    Hell if the TD you mentioned had 7 kids, they’d qualify for the working family payment.

    Elephant in the room they are still working and paying a crap load in taxes so a little back in children's benefit is hardly begrudging
    Ms Cash pays nothing and gets everything for free

    Actually she costs us a fortune with all the court appearances on top paid by yours truly
