    Compliance and disclosure wouldn't be strong suits one would imagine.

    It’s disclosed now so that opportunity has gone.

    So she can't be touched, bleeding the taxpayer, while she's got a lump-sum bubbling away...?
    Wasn't mommy very clever, no 100k til she's 35, so even in her dying will she's making sure her daughter can screw the state of child benefit, lone parent, free housing etc for many years. It'll come to fruition just as her child benefit comes to an end.
    Anyone know who her financial advisor and solicitor are? I could do with their numbers!

    The whole thing makes me wrench.

    Published and disclosed are different things though. I hope someone makes the Gubbermint aware of all this.

    What did her mother work at to save so much?
    From a post on Facebook
    Louise Rodgers This young woman's mother was involved in a life altering accident decades ago leaving her unable to walk,and brain damaged, unable to care for Margaret, her mother receiveda large claim as she had to be placed in the full time care of the mental health system for decades. Her mother was a ward of court when she was alive I'm sure the professionals managing her money helped her make a will, leaving what's left to her only child. I think the newspaper neglected to mention this to wind people up more and to create hatred and resentment.

    Hmmmm and the professionals chose the age of 35 as the perfect time to give Margaret the money even though she was homeless and on social welfare at the time of her mother’s death?

    When myself and my sibling lost our mommy we were 16 and 18. 22 and 24 when we both had to care for our terminally ill dad and 23 & 25 when we had no parents left.

    What we were left with was security for the immediate future, a work ethic and the ability to both stand on our own two feet instead of having to swim in government assistance. Neither of us are relying on the state, and neither of us feel like we are owed anything in life.

    We both have full time jobs and while the security left to us was nice, and comforting, it’s pretty much untouched because we’re both capable adults now.

    Certainly not something I’d post up and boast about on Facebook, or put off getting a job and having kids I couldn’t afford on the back of getting money in 10 years time. She’s not the only one to have sh1t happen to her, or to lose a parent young. So I don’t see the relevance of that comment saying the paper neglected to mention her mother was disabled in order to stir up hatred and resentment.

    It simply isn’t relevant. Her mother’s accident prohibited her mother working. It didn’t prohibit Margaret.

    If she gets €100K into her account there's no way she'll still qualify for much unemployment welfare. Even if she puts the full amount into savings (unlikely) she'd be calculated as earning interest / returns of €270 a week on it.

    But at 35 she'll still be getting child benefit for 6 of the 7 kids she has now and likely will have her 'forever home' so she's effectively getting a boost in her pension and some cash to blow on expensive decorations.

    Seriously? €270 a week off €100,000?

    Mags and co lived in a caravan at the back of their parents house in tallaght when I was growing up. Maybe it's the proceeds from house sale that's she inheriting.

    Are you sure it was her parents, kimbot?

    It doesn’t tie in with the post above about the mother being incapacitated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 268 ✭✭ShaneC93

    €0 for the first €20K, €1 for each K of the next €10K, €2 for each K of the next 20K and €4 for each K thereafter.
    It does seem a bit high for savings / investments, that's a yield of like 14% per year.

    She was raised by an aunt & uncle. The uncle was in and out of prison. Not sure why the quote above about the mother mentions Margaret being an only child, she has 4 sisters I believe. The articles on the will mentioned they get €20K to share.

    Where do you get a return of 14% these days?

    Edit:
    I see others have already made the comment and got a reply. :)

    I wonder what elderly person he robbed the €500 cash off to hand over to the court.

    + 7 angles to look after

    Something def doesn't add up

    And here we go again...minding the fecking traveller in case of repercussions.
    Not a single bit of uproar from the media, or politicians from the revelation that this freeloader is due a windfall.
    When and how are things going to change about how we tolerate this meaningless, lowlife community?

    The Traveller Rosa Parks?

    Fire me directly into the sun please.

    Comparing Cash to Rosa Parks is the ultimate insult to that colossal brave woman.

    I give up. It's tragic this waster gets so much attention.

    Rosa Parks had a job.

    I guarantee you Mags has no earthly clue who Rosa Parks is.

    You can see her glazed look when he mentions her name in that video. I'm shocked she has the capacity to remember to breathe.

    You do not know how to add !

    unless you are planning on going into Loan sharking thats just nuts

    it is not their maths that is the issue. It should have said



    €0 for the first €20K, €1 for each K of the next €10K, €2 for each K of the next 10K and €4 for each K thereafter.


    which gives you (10 x 1) + (10 x 2) + (60 x 4) = 270


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,359 ✭✭✭Bandana boy


    Okay so 25% on the last 60K !

    Other than loan sharking if they know that investment please share

    the link to the source of those numbers was already posted. They were no just made up. Well not by anybody anybody here at least.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,065 ✭✭✭marketty


    Lads I think some of ye are missing the point regarding the means test vs yield on €100k. The means test is not assuming you get a yield of 14% as a steady income to do you forever, it's assuming you eat into the 100k capital, week to week for a period of time, ya know to support yourself, while you are JOB SEEKING


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,372 ✭✭✭airy fairy


    Surely there's something somewhere that the state can put a court order in place that allows her to access the money now, do she can provide from her family, instead of sponging from the taxpayer until she's 35?

    This is getting really out of hand with this **** now.

    You know, I’ve been in most in the Middle Eastern country’s.
    I’ve been in Muslim country’s in south east Asia and had thousands of interactions with Muslim people both over there and here and I’ve never had a bad experience with any of them.
    Yet the few hundreds travelers I’ve encountered, I’ve had issues with or just felt like you wanted them to leave.
    Even when I was young drinking in a field they’d come over and while I was never afraid of them ,the atmosphere would just just change when they arrived.
    Then one of them robbed money on my Mam about 10 years ago. Muslim doctors and nurses have help both my parents in hospitals and they provide a **** load more to this country than travelers have ever given.

    But yet all you hear is about not letting them into our country when we actually have a race of people here that’s 20 times worse.
