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.

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. 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.

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.

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

I guarantee even after this latest news the media is now going to give her more attention instead of less!

ShaneC93 wrote: » 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.
