For being on social welfare, the amount she spends on overpriced clothes, shoes, fake designer gear, ornaments etc. If she put that towards rent instead she'd surely have €1K-€1.5K a month for her budget, with that + HAP you could get a decent 4 bed in Tallaght with money to spare..

But after avoiding jail at Tallaght Court yesterday, Cash said: “I don’t know what the shoplifting has to do with me being homeless, it is my private life. "I never said I was a saint or anything, far from it. “None of this has to do with the homeless crisis. “I feel like I’m being attacked for highlighting the homeless crisis. It’s all about me shoplifting, they are looking for the bad. “The clothes were for the kids. I feel like I am being targeted. It is letting the Government off the hook.”https://www.thesun.ie/news/3274135/margaret-cash-saint-avoiding-jail-penneys/ So she had to steal €321 worth of clothing to put on the kids backs yet had €600 to spend on a suit?

She explained that the dress was paid off "bit by bit" over many months, and pointed out that she only has one daughter, and you only get to see her little girl in a white dress twice."https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/homeless-mum-seven-margaret-cash-13072770 Ms Cash rejected criticism that she was irresponsible to have so many children when she could not afford to do so. “I love my kids, I wouldn’t change them for the world or for a home. I don’t care what people say. “I got some negative responses . It’s hard when you know you haven’t done anything wrong. I’m entitled to live my life, I’m entitled to buy my daughter a communion dress and to go for a few drinks with friends. “I never said I was poor. I said I was homeless. I get benefits the same as everyone else. I just haven’t got enough to get a home. “I saved hard to get my child that dress. I tried to make people aware of what’s going on in this country,” she added, referring to criticism by some on social media over the cost of her daughter’s First Holy Communion dress.https://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/i-have-been-constantly-begging-for-help-margaret-cash-on-being-homeless-1.3598174 Of course Margaret's only source of income is from the taxpayer. Just to leave her latest housing comment again "SO the Council want to take me outta a b+b in Drumcondra and put me in a hub somewer round the south side. I really hate the b+b wer i am because wer travelling from drumcondra to Tallaght and bk every day for school. BUT A HUB like really? Im nearly 12 yrs on the houseing list and 2 yrs homeless. Ive done everyting they asked me i even SHUT UP 4 dem. They told me i wud be HOUSED IN JAN but den they rang yesterday telling me der trying to move me. I was ova the moon untill the lady on the phone told me its a HUB. I WANT A HOME NOT A HUB OR A B+B. Is dis ever gonna end? R we ever gonna get a HOME?"

Rex Tasteless Gutter wrote: » The only misogyny that I've seen on the thread was a poster asking if anyone would ride her -- which was rightly called out as inappropriate by a number of other posters. There hasn't been any "cruelty" on this thread. Margaret Cash turned herself into a public figure with her media appearances, her speeches outside the Dail, and her public social media posts. She gets around €50k a year from the taxpayer to support her irresponsible reproductive choices, having had seven children since she was 16, and now she wants a free house in an area of her choosing as well, at a time when many hardworking taxpayers can afford neither houses nor children of their own. Margaret Cash lashes out at everyone and everything around her. At one point she was calling for a violent revolution and for Dublin to be burned to the ground. She also went on the radio ranting about how the government was robbing her blind (). It's only natural that these kinds of extremist opinions provoke criticism in response.

She was looking to spend €10k on a car and had a caravan where she then also put this up for sale. She never contributed her part of the rent for the hap scheme and is an even better situation now as when she is given an actual house which will have to be quite big with the football team in tow. She won't have to pay a cent in rent, bins will be collected( no charge) Among many other benefits and reliefs for doing shag all but shag.
