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.

Slating the government that provides her with so much. What about her hostile, aggressive, criminal behaviour? when I posted this -I was referring to cruel criticism of her grammar and spelling not the content of her messages. Sorry for any confusion caused by my clumsy construction.

I won't go back and repeat some of the nasty disgusting examples of misogyny that I have seen. Not because I can't but because I don't want to be associated with that sort of thing.

Many children growing up are told to study hard, get good grades, go to college, and get a job. By the age of 28, many of them are on circa €30k before tax, stuck in a house share or living with their parents, unable to afford homes and families of their own. Then you have Margaret Cash, who dropped out of school at 12, got married at 15, and by age 28 has 7 kids, €50k a year tax-free, and is well on her way to her free foreva home. And she never plans to work a day in her life or even express gratitude for everything the Irish state has done for her. How is that a "fair society"?

I would urge people to watch the film Rosie, I know it is a film but it is hugely believable. When I was growing up we didnt have much, but my parents worked their @rses off, including my dad working abroad for 15+ years and my mum juggling two kids while training as a nurse they did whatever they possibly could to support us. But there are also people like Margaret Cash, who have never worked a day in their life and are clearly not doing anything to try and improve their life or that of their kids. The amount of money going down the drain is astonishing.
