As has been said countless times, she's never claimed to be broke, just homeless. There's a big difference!

I take full responsibility for putting the clothes in her bag!

€300 worth of clothes from Pennys would hardly fit in the bag below. And you'd need a crane to lift it out of the shop.

€600 for a communion suit????

Jesus H Christ, there's normal folks out there earning and paying taxes and they can't even afford that. Someone's got their priorities completely screwed up.

But it is a Jas Fagan suit.

Why are we all discrediting the theory that a woman with numerous previous convictions from an ethnic minority background with an unfortunate stigma of being known as thieves, robbers & overall mischief causers was potentially subjected to a framing of a theft consisting of €300 worth of Penney's clothes?!?!

It’s all in the first post.

“A MUM-of-seven who came to national prominence after photos of her children sleeping in a garda station went viral has been ordered to enter into a probation bond for one year.
Margaret Cash (28) stole more than €300 worth of clothing from Penneys in Nutgrove Shopping Centre, Rathfarnham in February this year.

Judge Patricia McNamara ordered her to enter into a probation bond for one year.

The judge warned Cash not to give into "temptation" and to stay out of trouble asking her "where will your children be if you end up in prison".

The defendant, who is living in b&b accommodation, had admitted before Tallaght District Court to stealing clothes, worth €321, from Penney's on February 17, 2018.

She was before the court for sentencing after the judge ordered a probation report.

The court heard that Cash had 38 previous convictions, 37 of which were for road traffic matters.

Her last conviction, for theft, was in 2017.

Judge McNamara ordered Cash to continue working with the probation services, and to engage with the local housing authority and homeless support services.

Judge McNamara also warned Cash to "stay away from drugs" but Cash and her solicitor Kevin Tunney said drugs were not an issue.

Cash said she last took drugs when she was a teenager, and prior to her having children.”

Cash initially came to prominence last August after she circulated pictures of her children - aged between one and 11 years - sleeping on seats in Tallaght Garda Station on social media”

She arrived into the store and her cousin ( who she doesnt speak to anymore ) asked for a hand carrying bags to her car. When they left the shop security approached and she only found out then there was stolen goods in the bag.

I know people will choose not to believe me

At least you took away some of the stress from her and made sure that she could afford €600 communion suit for her son

Is this the same lady who said that she only took the clothes because she had to walk the streets all day and the children were wet and she’d no way of drying their clothes?

Seems Margaret didn't accept the offer of €150 nor get €250 she wanted for the €600 Jas Fagan communion suit

It's back up for sale along with the daughters Fiona Todhunter communion dress

She has all the traits of being an astute businesswoman. Put the kids 1st. She has to be admired in a way

If people knew the ins and out of that Penneys incident their minds would change

The only ins and outs about that incident was the state of motion of the €300 worth of stolen clothes into aul Maggie's bags.

What truth is that now? Like the "Truth" she told the judge about robbing half of penney's stock?

Credit Checker Moose

Whatever.

Course that's what happened....

The woman would steal anything not nailed down given half the chance.

And none of this has anything to do with her getting a house.
