Not related to Cash but this was just posted in a number of buy and sell groups on Facebook.

12 year old girl provocatively/sexual suggestive dancing and a bunch of old creepy men commenting on it. Reported to Facebook last night and still up this morning ffs.

You know in most other EU countries this would be considered a form of pimping/trafficking putting something like this in a buy and sell group ffs.

HSE/TUSLA should be informed of this.

The men should be reported. It’s not the child’s dancing that’s the issue here

Grab All Association · 24-12-2018 11:43AM

Both the parent(s) and the creepy men should be reported for this.

Wonder did cash and the gang head to at Vincent de Paul for their Christmas pack/box.

Really should bring back vouchers which can only be spent on essential foods etc.

Why? Are the Christmas packs full of drink and cigs? Or are you objecting to pots of jam in the packs which arent essential foods?

Pretty sure it's more of a dig at someone who has more money than most working people getting free stuff.

Alrigghtythen · 26-12-2018 09:21PM

If you get free food, it frees up your own money for drink & cigs

Ok, so your point wasn't about the charity Christmas packs at all but rather about the welfare Christmas bonus, which is a different subject and which you didn't mention at all.

I'll fill in the blanks in your posts and assume you are saying that welfare recipients should not get a bonus in cash, but rather in vouchers for groceries. That's a reasonable enough point, but one extra welfare payment is not a huge amount of money, and the logistics of setting up a voucher scheme just for the Xmas bonus would cost more to administrate. No point from a logistics point of view.

If you are suggesting that we move our total welfare system to a voucher scheme, I think that is a very bad idea.

I think he meant its a replacement for just giving cash to people. Personally, i would be in favour of this. If you want cash. Work. If you dont. Then suck it up as you wont be allowed drink, cigs etc

I wonder where she shops now. I get the irony in that last sentence. I mean if I was a Penny's employee I wouldn't let her though the front door. No doubt she'd scream discrimination or is it racisms now, should that happen. Oh but wait, what about the children, they will suffer if she's barred from Pennys. So useful to have so many kids when you have no means of supporting yourself.

The stores are legally entitled to refuse her entry due to history of shoplifting. It's a valid exception to the discrimination laws. You are not being refused entry because you are a minority, you are being refused entry because you are a thief. All this publicity probably damaged her shoplifting career.

I stopped supporting SVP Thurles in 2012 when I seen all the Cash types in their newish people carriers getting their vouchers for €80-100 to spend in local stores that year. A young lad from my estate on €100 reduced JSA told me he got only hotcups and out of date homestead beans.

That day I even witnessed one woman throwing the food hamper which was given to her over the railway bridge on Parnell Street. Reported it to AGS. Iarnród Éireann later had to clean it up that evening.

Passing through Thurles last week and there was a line of pram pushers and newish SUVs (no more mpv’s?) illegally doubled parked near Scoile Ailbhe and a line of women with prams extending into the former district hospital. It was during the stormy wet weather too. Imagine putting your babys health at risk just for vouchers.

Later that evening I was checking out in costcutter and seen one of these women trying to buy cat food and alcohol with the voucher. Thankfully I overheard him saying both aren’t covered by the voucher

Well, I'll start with my own experience. Work and pay tax for 25 years and then find yourself unemployed. You can shove your vouchers. That's just dehumanising. It would have been dehumanising for me in my situation and it would be dehumanising for anyone and make them more likely to segregate.

I wouldn't be too averse to bonuses being paid in grocery vouchers or the like. I'm relying on welfare at the moment and got the Christmas bonus and it was a big help. But if there was no such thing as a bonus and someone said to me, there's €250 in shopping vouchers that the govt got a good deal on - brilliant.

I wouldn’t give a cent to svp after the local one helped a local scumbag pay a court fine. And covered a deposit for a family having to rent because they were evicted from their home for defaulting on the mortgage. It was a council house they took out a mortgage on, bought a new car too with mortgage they were given. They lost the house, and went into rented accommodation heavily subsidized and then placed back in their old house which the council bought back as tenants

In fairness, that case is a bit of an exception and SVP generally do very good. They are the last port of call for a lot of genuine people in real need. You will always have chancers abusing any system.

Charity organisations need to talk to each other to make sure these scammers get nothing.

Work and pay tax for 25 years, become unemployed = JSB, should be paid in cash and be much higher than JSA.

JSA also known as "dole", could be paid partly in debit card / vouchers.
