Its really hard to find the balance

I know a single mother with 2 kids renting an apartment from the council. She is on the breadline and when her youngest turns 7 she is down to €50 less a week to live off

And then there is this Cash one. Completely taking the p!ss . However it seems like the goverments main priority is get travellers into houses

It's because hardy anyone would want to swap places with her because I'd imagine her life isn't exactly a barrel of laughs - it's certainly a lot ****tier than my life.

You should ask yourself if you're kicking up or kicking down.

Of course you wouldn't be be able to harvest as many 'thanks' from those kinds of considerations , so, rabble, rabble ,rabble, etc.

If her life is such a struggle why did she continue to have children.
She's being struggling to find accommodation with years but she/her children was suffering so much she continued to have children.
I have seen people go down the same road as her(have lots of children and never work) and they never seem to care.

Hopefully it will be reported without bias in the media if not.

I pity the neighbours too but at least if they are renting they can move.

Its the poor feckers stuck with mortgages you would feel most sorry for.

They will never get her out, they are probably saving face by saying its temporary and probably asked her to tone down the celebrating so hundreds more wont go to Garda Stations at 10pm tonight.

This country is a joke, no one is in charge.

I see the cervicalcancer screening system is now belly up because Harris promised unnecessary free retesting, he was advised not to do this by people who know what they are talking about but he did it anyway. Thats more money wasted on top of the tripling of the budget for the new childrens hospital.

In the overall scheme of things one house for one family isnt a big deal and at least the children will be near their school. I hope Mags is suitably grateful and will git along with her neighbours.

Has she moved to the hub yet ?

She wont be happy paying €50 a week

No they gave her a temporary house in the location she wanted (Tallagh)
I have a feeling this won't be so temporary, she has been watching too many anti eviction protests to go without a fight.

Didnt someone calculate it at 50k nett pay. She would be on about 80k gross to have the income transferred from taxpayers to her bank account.

Someone had calculated it as a little over 50K but that included HAP which she does not get. I don't think there is a way to calculate the cost of tempera y accommodation as it varies.

I'd like to see a breakdown of the €84,000 figure, no idea where that came from.

Just to clarify, that's €84k a year net pay... i.e. take-home pay. So you would need to be on a salary of €140,000 per year to have the same amount of take-home pay. Or €120,000 salary if you're factoring in seven children and claiming child allowance as part of your income.

Kicking up, definitely up.

You know what, she's dead right to be doing what she's doing.

Get paid to have a huge family and do nothing and get paid some more.... Sounds pretty good.

Travellers in general are a wash with cash and not mags cash I mean...

There's one lad lives in my locality,never saw him do a days work yet when he's in a shop he's pulling out wads of 50's at the till.
Guess what,he was given a 'forever home' too.

Stop being smart alecky.

If he or she does that thats another taxpayer less to subsidise Margaret, her husband and her big family.

Anyone struggling to make ends meet is entitled to ask what is it all about. just swallow your pride, give up the job and spend the day on facebook backslapping the other leeches.

In fairness I'd say they have trouble actually purchasing property themselves like normal people.

The chances are that it would end up being seized by CAB at some point in the future. You're better off not legally owning anything of note in that world.

What exactly does she 'deserve' it for?

Their logic seems to be that the longer you have to wait, the more you deserve it.

Her many Facebook commenters only serve to show how big this problem actually is because you just know ever single one of them is doing the same as her. No work, many kids, free house, whole life a joy-ride paid for by the state and in turn the taxpayer..

Would I like to trade places with a "single" mother with 7 kids who hasn't worked a day in her life.
Hmmm let me have a think...:rolleyes:

I dont think many people would, but that isnt the point, should she have any personal responsibility for the situation she has put herself in?
Has she worked at any stage? or tried to work?
Has she tried to better her life at any stage, bar staging some pictures with her kids in a Gardai station in their school uniforms and robbing?
Should she be angry with the government, despite the fact she gets tens of thousands of euro free from the state every year to support her?
