    There's little or no long term thinking in this country, no leadership, no hard decisions to create a better future, just soft options, right here, right now and to hell with the consequences. It's not unique to welfare, look across the public service and the various pay deals and general waste, look at the failure to invest in infrastructure and the repeated abandonment of game changing projects in favour of half assed alternatives.

    Well said.

    Seems politicians main concerns are managing things in such a way they will survive the next elections. Rather than focusing on actually making things better overall in the long term.

    The irony of the fact is the Cash is part of the reason there is a homeless crisis at minute too

    But blame someone else.

    Certainly a great example of the entitlement culture

    Left school at 12, married at 15, first kid at 17/18, 7 kids by 28
    Never worked a day in her life
    Totally dependent on welfare
    39 convictions
    Yet the government are robbing her by not providing her with her home forever

    And even if she wanted a job she is unemployable at this stage. That’s the welfare state for you.

    Can't disagree with your statement

    Even if she wanted a job and then subsequently got one, her job would want to be worth bout €90,000 to get what she currently receives in welfare

    Yet poor old Margaret and many of her supporters see her as a victim

    They even explain away her theft from Penneys

    Sure she stole to put clothes on the childrens backs

    Any mother would do the same lol

    She costs the state around the same as employing two nurses. That's leaving out the cost of her "free" legal aid for her crime sprees, the cost of incarcerating her husband, and the future cost of supporting her children, if they follow in her footsteps.
    Imagine all the good those two nurses would do (not to mention the income tax they would pay). The social welfare system badly needs to be overhauled to cut out these lifelong spongers.

    sounds like a culture we need to be protecting and preserving indeed.

    That goes on no matter what level you're at.

    I know an accountant that takes payment in cash so you save the vat on his fee.

    I know a solicitor that does the same. He's got a lovely boat that he sails.

    I know a civil servant that scams an extra allowance of €150 per month from her department for an expense that's already covered by her department in a separate payment to her, "everyone does it".

    I've a friend who rents out his house but tenants pay separately. He claims it under the rent a room scheme so avoids tax on the first €14,000.




    Sounds like a nice story but unfortunately one can't claim rent-a-room relief if your income from renting is over 14,000.


    It is not on the "first 14,000". It is only open to those with rental income of less than that amount. 14,001 and you can't avail of it.

    If everybody was robbed the same way poor Maragaret is Ireland would be bankrupt

    That's the trouble - those of us who go out and work have to pay for the likes of Margaret. Imagine the amount of hours you or I work to keep her in the style she's accustomed? I couldn't afford 8 kids, because I have to pay for hers as well as my own.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,555 ✭✭✭Roger Hassenforder


    I wonder if a day can go by where someone won’t try knock people who are social welfare for genuine reasons. :rolleyes:

    As someone who is, I can assure you I’m not living a life of luxury. Half the time I have to choose between new clothes I need or food. I envy anyone capable of work and I strive to find a job I can do with the bull**** I’m dealt re headaches, depression etc. But every time I’ve applied for a job and sat an interview I get a rejection and then feel more depressed :pac:

    If the state wasnt spending so much of its revenue on the parasites like Ms. Cash et al. , it might be able to afford better supports and measures for those who genuinely need state assistance.

    I cant imagine anyone having a problem with that. Hell I'd even suck up a % on my tax, if i knew it was going to provide better services for genuine people.


    (Sorry for your troubles BTW)

    100%

    Many I know have had to move huge distances from where they are from and have a support network etc just to afford somewhere to live

    Margaret is complaining about a B&B in Drumcondra. It's just not a home forever in Tallaght

    Many couples need to carefully think can they afford kids or another one. Others just pop them out no issue

    Sure it's worth a bigger home and more welfare

    Not another TV interview today.. Why are the media still giving this woman the time of day? She has to be one of the worst spokespeople for any cause I've ever seen.

    I'm surprised she is given so much air time because she doesn't fit the hard working homeless that you often hear about.

    Yeah, whoever decided that she's a good poster child is a great example of the dire state of our mental health services

    That was some turnout for today’s protest.

    That judge is probably a racist anyway. And the Garda. Oh and the jury.

    She has the children with her all the time while working people have their child stuck in creches for maybe ten hours a day.

    it would make your blood boil.
