Or does it mean she has been getting money from them all along (on top of her generous taxpayer-funded salary)?

It's makes sense when she's shopping for expensive couches and Vapormax Nikes.

"The 28-year-old hit the headlines when she slept with her kids in a Garda station..."

Unfortunate choice of phrase there by The Sun.

Have you a link where I can read up on it more?

No, I heard it from someone living locally, but I believe, from memory, that one of the travellers themselves referred to it in one of the interviews they did during the whole rigmarole around Peter Casey.

Don't worry. I'm sure the crack investigative team at RTE will examine it and subsequently report on its findings.

You can bet your bottom dollar nobody in the media will ask that question.

Does that mean the the trustees could have helped her out last year when she said she had nowhere to go so stayed in Tallaght Garda Stn?

I'm sure they could have -- but why would Margaret ask for money to be paid out of her inheritance? She plans to cry "homeless" so she can pressure the state to house her and her family for free. She's not going to put her hand in her own pocket if she can avoid it.

No reporting of it online so I doubt there's any court case yet.
I wouldn't put it past them though. Why give up that land if you didn't have to?

People should email or write to SDCC

The only mention I could find of it with a quick google was this:

https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/horse-has-bolted-council-will-not-provide-stables-for-1-7m-traveller-homes-in-local-standoff-37398684.html

At least 50 adults and children live in mobile homes and caravans across the road from the new housing development, and say members of their extended family have done so for decades. They have their horses living in stables and paddocks on land which is understood to be in private ownership with at least two or three different owners.

The families say the matter is currently with their solicitor and there has been speculation in the council that the families are hoping to claim "adverse possession", or squatters' rights, of the land they are using for their horses

Though I'm certain I remember one of the travellers themselves mentioning it at one stage.

The end of this RTÉ report says the travellers wouldn’t talk on camera as it was with the courts ????

The latest I've heard about the €1,000,000+ traveller house in Kerry is that the traveller family now don't want to move into it and want a house in the town instead.....

You couldn't make this up. My blood boils looking at those beautiful houses, undoubtedly A-rated but soon to be thrashed in all likelihood. How can any state hand out free multi-million euro homes with massive back gardens / mod-con's without wanting anything in return (e.g. labour/proof of work or rent etc.). This is a slap in the face of those of us who work and pay taxes for a living. The state must stand up to these entitled people

Presumably Margaret provided that €100K sum to TheSun? I don't think that was mentioned at all on Facebook.

Just when you thought the story of Margaret Cash couldn't possibly get any stranger! Why on earth would it be restricted to age 35 though? I could understand 21 or 25 for maturity reasons - that's fairly normal in trusts but 35 makes zero sense when you consider the average traveller only lives 45-50 years. Sadie herself died around 40 I believe.

Unless the €100k refers only to the money in the trust fund, and Margaret has been left other monies that weren't in the trust fund....

Yep, it's right up Fillip Groucher-Haze's street! Possibly assisted by Kitty Holland a fearless, hard-nosed journalista who never shirks any opportunity to delve deeply into such fascinating topics and tell us what's really going on at the coalface.

Cash is king as they say......

Shocking what is allowed go on here.

I can't wait for the day something is actually done and a proper policy put in place.

Our tax is not been put to the best use in my view.

ShaneC93

So even if you're only the beneficial owner of a trust e.g. it's being controlled by someone else like in Margaret's situation, it still has to be declared annually to the Welfare office! I wonder if she has been doing that or plans to try and pocket it tax free at 35.

(e) Pension Funds, Trust funds etc. owned by the claimant.
The value of a pension fund is only assessable for means when a person has access to the pension fund. The rules of a pension scheme will determine what and when benefits are payable from the scheme.

Any benefits in the form of a regular payment or a lump sum payment will be assessed as means.

Regular pension payments will be treated as income for means purposes. The value of any cash otherwise available from a pension fund will be assessed on the basis of the capital valuation of that fund.

A claimant should supply the last Annual Benefit Statement provided by the trustees of the pension scheme to the Department. This will state the date that the benefits of the pension can be accrued.

Similar to the above, the terms of the buy-out bond will determine what and when benefits are payable to the holder of the bond. A person should provide details of the bond to the Department in order to prove that they do not have access to any benefits.

Note: If the claimant only has a life interest in the capital, the capital lump sum is not assessed as property, and any periodic payments received are assessed as cash income.

Doubt arises at times as to whether the claimant has ownership of the funds or just a life interest, i.e. entitlement to periodic payments only. Enquiry as to whether any amount left at date of death reverts to his/her estate, or whether full title of any balance then passes to another (e.g. the fund holder) may clarify this point.

Do CAB take reports from members of the public or does one have to go to a cop shop first?

She wasn’t elderly. She was only in her 40’s and disabled. Mags was reared by an aunt.

Even more impressive that she had such a valuable estate to leave then.

She died at 42 I believe. Also a few of Cash's past posts were about how she used to roam the country in a tiny caravan like used to typical of travellers in Ireland. There's no way then she could have earned €130K legit (500 a month for every year of her adult life) so unless she inherited it and saved it for her daughter, it must have come from crime.

That would imply she was about 15 when Margaret was born. Which is not as unlikely in the Traveller community, I suppose.

Just put in a welfare report with all the pictures of her Facebook buying & selling! I bet she either got money from her mom on her death outside of the trust or gets a monthly amount from the trust. Would explain a lot about how she can afford so much stuff even with the amount she gets from welfare.
