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

I maybe wrong but I thought single mother's don't go onto job seekers until the youngest child is 7?

She will be getting any type of payment going so it really doesn't matter as she will never work.

The new thing these days is to have another child before the youngest reaches 7 to 'renew' the payment so to speak.

Another way to avoid jobseekers is to get one of the children a label, once this is done the parent qualifies for carers allowance and all the usual goodies that come with it such as DCA,Carers support grant, formerly known as Respite support grant (NOT REST BITE GRANT) free travel, household benefits package,medical cards, plus you can work 15 hours on top of it and keep everything.

isn't it roughly 51k a year from the welfare she was getting? she'd be hard pushed to find an employer to take her on who is willing to pay all that after tax.

Credit Checker Moose · 08-02-2019 11:36AM

Never going to happen.

A Person in her position should keep the head down and not be drawing attention to herself at every opportunity. There are 100's of Mags Cash's that no one knows about because they keep the head down.

She'll be gone foreign just before she hits 35, and will extend the middle finger of contempt to the gubbermint.

That way they don't get to touch her inheritance.

This is the thing, there's no incentive for her to ever to get a job and live a productive life. She'd have to earn upwards of 80k gross to keep her current standard of living.

With no Leaving Cert, qualifications or work experience of any kind she's fcked.

The State are the ones who have created this crazy situation.

I don’t think he is in prison. He was released last year and unless it’s gone under the radar, I don’t think he’s had a trial yet.

€150,000, where is she getting this €180,000 from? Is she getting this €210,000 now or when she turns 35? I don't think it's fair that she gets this €250,000 payment for doing nothing.

The parallels of her life with Rosa Parks are staggering.

That would mean she would have to lift a finger to earn a living, that's never going to happen.

Whats the difference between Margaret and a politician??

One is a horrible , useless, self promoting, work shy, despicable human who lives off the taxpayer and whinges about it, and the other is...... oh wait a minute

I know, right?
Rosa Parks had to sit on a different seat on the bus cos racism, Ms Cash has to forego the bus altogether and get free taxis across the city to take her kids to school. Cos racism. And Gubbermint robbery, or something...

My sister gets this. She's a single mother with 2 kids, eldest is 16 and youngest is 13, but the 13 year old has autism and type 1 diabetes. Sister has a mortgage on her own house and works about 10-15 hours a week, depending on what's on. I wouldn't do what she does for the money she gets, and I still wouldn't do it even if on €250k a year. No amount of money could make me ok with what she has to deal with.

She's drawing attention to herself to try and get herself a '4eva home'

Remember the woman down in Cork with the 9 kids plus the 4 her partner had? Cash only came out of the woodwork after that story broke.

I was listening to Joe Duffy earlier and he had a pensioner on who was getting carer’s allowance to care for her son, but had it stopped recently when she was hospitalised for 6 weeks. Their reasons for stopping it (not just temporary, but permanently) was because being ill in hospital meant she wasn’t where she was supposed to be, at home caring for her son; even though the money always went to her son’s care and the household in general.
It was an absolute shame to have a woman of her age crying down the phone on national radio after having her assistance culled through no fault of her own, and is now left with only a non-contributory state pension. She said she had €30 left today to last her a week after she had bills paid and groceries got.
She is representative of the most vulnerable in society. Not Margaret Cash with a 100k wad ready and waiting once she’s bled the state dry. It’s the likes of her we need to be championing, old age pensioner with a disabled son, no access to social media to get her plight across, and not agile enough to pound the streets with a megaphone shouting for more money. All she wants is her allowance to be reinstated so she can care for her son’s needs. Her case puts Margaret to shame.

What is it with travellers and Waterford crystal.....

Was just out with the wife and 3 of them in the shop getting boxes and boxes of stuff.

Total comes to near €200 they want some back for luck then proceed to make phone calls to get more crystal and waiting to see if they have more stock.....

Some serious wads of cash.

Sorry, never included a point. I wanted to show that there are people out there who badly need this, just in case people start jumping on that bandwagon. It was early (for me) and I was just starting work, I'm sure the point was better when I was thinking of it at the time.

Jeesus Christ, that it just a horrible story.
There are so many older people out there in a similar situation who need help but who are not getting it. Sometimes they are just too proud to ask for help; other times they say that there are people out there who need it more than them.
Similarly, the same can be said for carers and the lack of assistance that they get.

Yet, we have all the money in the world for the squeaky-wheel types like Margaret Cash and other fanciful liberal causes.
Something seriously wrong with this country. Margaret Cash has plenty of advocates in RTE and other areas of liberal Irish society; where are the advocates for the older people in Ireland who have contributed to society all their lives?
