    I don't think so. People know a scrote is a scrote. The amount of concern everybody has about 'genuine' homeless should mean it gets sorted in no time I'd imagine....


    Fair play if you don't think so, the reaction on most social media platforms I have read that concerns homelessness shares one theme the behaviour of Cash. Alot getting tarred with the one brush.

    Nah just don't eat b*ll**** even when some clown is trying to force feed it to me. I have sympathy for those are genuinely homeless as Cash has done the sector serious harm with her behaviour.

    I think most people feel sorry for those who are homeless. Even those who may end up having a kid young and need a bit of support for a while.
    However I don't know many people who have much time for people like Magaret.

    The likes of her get used as a handy excuse for not giving a f***. But we all know there are 'genuine' homeless and the housing crisis hits the working tax paying majority and all the Margret Cash's in the world can't divert from that.

    This woman is being picked on as an individual just because people can do it. That makes her a victim.

    This summer, coming to theatres across the country.

    A struggling single mother, Margaret Cash has always protected her family, her people, herself.

    One bad decision later and that job is about to get much harder. Kicked onto the streets of South Dublin, Cash is faced with a stark choice...pull off a daring heist at Penny's, or be crushed.

    Cash just wants her 4eva home. But Niall Boylan, the gubbernerment, Peter Casey, a mob of violent ethno fascists who post on boards.ie and corrupt politicians stand in her way. Most if not all of Ireland seems to be standing in her way. Her only answer is to fight back and take over the city herself.

    Pat Shortt stars as Margaret in 2019s hit motion picture "Cash".

    I have become of the view, changed my mind even, that social welfare payments, specifically Job Seekers Allowance, be reduced on a incremental basis in correlation to length of time claiming them, for everyone, travelers or otherwise. As an incentive to do something with your life, not to be mean.

    Taking travelers as an extreme example of a demographic who generally don't work and indeed have no intention of working, and I know some non-travelers do the same, I do think that social welfare payments here are that bit too generous, such that one can get by pretty OK. I'm not talking about housing payments, that is money that does not go into the pockets of the welfare claimants.

    If Mags social was cut in half and those like her, there may be some money to build housing for them. Not that that housing should be in any way of a high standard which she expects, just a roof over her head. Not somewhere she wants to live, not somewhere she likes, not somewhere she prefers, not somewhere near her friends, not somewhere with a nice view, not somewhere close to Penny's.

    The general point I'm making is that it's just not on to make no effort to get a job and the social welfare system seems to be enabling that attitude, travelers and non-travelers alike. In other words house the travelers but give them f-all disposable income.

    I'm all for getting rid of child benefit full stop. Makes no sense to me at all. People are literally being rewarded for having sex and popping out a kid, instead of being reprimanded for getting pregnant while unable to actually support a kid. If there was no money incentive, people would be less likely to horse out 7 of them without a thought as to how to pay for them.

    Granted, wouldn't have changed a thing in this case i'd imagine.

    Am I not allowed to concentrate on one example rather than go to the trouble which you have done of naming all the others.

    I have never read any of those other threads you mention - and have no interest in doing so.

    By the way, your first argument is flawed because the thread is not about the individual Jamie Bolger but about all the issue which arose re the making of the film concerning the boys who murdered him.

    The reason I focussed on the M. Cash thread is because it announces the felony she has been found guilty of and which has been tried in the courts. Why should that woman have to suffer having her misdemeanor announced on a daily basis on this forum after it has been dealt with in the Court? It sickens me when I see it every day.

    There is a moral issue here, far as I'm concerned. No matter what her behaviour or situation, does she not deserve the same courtesy and consideration that we would expect for ourselves - or are we so superior that this does not apply?

    You do realise that a felony is a serious crime?

    Maybe she’ll keep her sticky fingers to herself in future

    Why would she? I don't think she even had to return any of the items from Pennys or pay a fine.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,482 ✭✭✭Gimme A Pound

    Absolutely not. What on earth could make it logical for this to be the case?

    And saying we are causing "suffering" to her? When she's constantly putting herself in the public eye? Ah it's just very naive VF.
    or are we so superior that this does not apply?
    Absolutely. When we behave like she does, that no longer applies.

    Sadly, that's the key issue. This kind of cynical abuse of society is what allows people to dismiss the problems of the genuinely homeless.

    Exactly.What else is she going to do get a job like the rest of us.

    They themselves receive thousands each year without ever being expected to contribute positively to society.

    Let's be honest, they give jobs to Gardai!
    Without them the Garda would have to cut he workforce...

    In you don't pay rent to live in a house - you'll end up living on the street or in cheap caravan. This works for anyone in this country, not only for travelers.

    No they wouldn't the Gardai at most don't go anywhere near them.

    They actually need to police it much better and use force if needed.

    Gardai do not go into halting sites unless in huge numbers.... This itself is exactly what's wrong as they need to put them in order.

    She's become such a celebrity for the right-on lefty sheep that she can probably just make demands on Facebook and they'll deliver whatever she wants.

    I'm not talking about the small ones with one or 2 houses.

    I am wrong in what I said as I didn't mean all so apologies for tgat.

    Look at the amount of them in riot gear that went into one recently.


    There is one close to me with 8 houses but 2 destroyed and they do go in there when needed.

    I just listened to that segment on Niall Boylan, fuppin hell, I didn't expect an intellectual but I at least thought she would have had some sort of argument, but she just screamed at him "gubbermint, gubbermint!!!"
    And walked away shouting when asked the reasonable query about personal responsibility.

    She came across as an utter utter thug.

    Amazing that so many people have sympathy for her.

    The belief is there your entitled to a house in your given area.

    I find it amazing that people have said she deserves the house she got. Other than get pregnant multiple times from a young age I fail to understand how she deserves anything.
