Margaret Cash steals €300 worth of clothes from Penneys and aftermath/etc!

Yet another Traveller feud

I must listen to the full thing later on but her stories are all over the place

Is there a genuine reason they were thrown out of the hotel? Just wondering if the racism card is warranted.

I assume at her rate of giving birth that there would've been no space for anyone else within the next few years.

Ah jasus this is some craic: "fire alarm was covered"

"yeah wasnt me"

"but you didnt mention it to the staff"

"no i should have"

"and you had a sandwich maker in the room...."

"Yeah"

And she left a council house (it was falling around her, apparently, mildew, sounds like she got thick and just walked out) ...before leaving the mobile home...
10 days in the Maldron....3k...
She is also giving out about the looks the staff were giving her.

The hotel gave her a list of complaints, before she was asked to leave (which she conveniently has lost), it also included "damage".

Sounds like they wrecked the place, what the hell does she expect

The racism card is never warranted because they aren't a different race.

I would agree, even if some of them act like a different species, never mind race. It is what she has alleged though so its a valid question. Haven't listened to it myself but from some posts above it seems like it was not warranted at all.

How many of these cases do you reckon there are? I couldn't put a number on it but it must be quite a few.

"Quite a few" would be an understatement, and not just with the travelling community. I think social welfare abuse is endemic in the travelling community and there are others abusing the system as well.

The difference is I've never seen a traveller having to attend an interview at the SW office, go on a course or attend a job interview. Other people do and eventually they have to show some efforts they have made to get a job.

Its not just travellers spitting out children with not a care in the world, we have habitual drug addicts / criminals in and out of jail, having babies with different women and no visible means of supporting them.

Now I am no way in supporting the sh*tty old days where we hid unmarried women - but young people having sex have got to think who the hell is going to feed, clothe, house and educate my child/ren? There has to be some personal responsibility - you have as many children as you like but don't rely on me to feed, clothe etc them. You want them, you pay for them.

That's every house I have lived in bar my mothers. I hope she had a better reason than that.

I would be! I would also have left at least 2 rented apartments in the path.

My bathroom is a git for it!
Its generally due to lack of ventilation, clothes being dried internally etc.
With my bathroom I just rub on bleach every once in a while and try to remember to leave the windows open, you know like a normal person, rather than taking thick and walking out of my house.

I've seen plenty of people in council houses who won't lift a finger to look after the place. One house had rats running around like mad outside and yer wan who lived there kept complaining that the council wouldn't do anything about the rats. It never entered her head to put down a bit of feckin poison.

I can't believe that interview, nothing is ever their fault, everyone else always racist, and they expect us to swallow it every time, ffs

In the past people were generally delighted to get a council house. They were nearly afraid to get assistance for an issue now there's an attitude you run to the council over the slightest issue. A lot of it seems to led by the facebook mob tough.

Then we need to make it less attractive to have large families when you are depending on the public purse.

Maybe a max of 4 children and then cut off the child benefit. And make it perfectly clear that the maximum house available is 4 bed and that's that. You want a big family, you finance it.

The public service / TDs just need to grow a pair, put rules in place and make sure they adhere to them. Now you will always have an exception - but those should be an exception (elderly/sick parent living with their child who has 3 kids already, etc) not the norm.

In relation to maintaining the house, they should ensure its maintained and inspect them. Basic hygiene, rubbish removal, dusted / hoovered etc. In fairness, if you are on the dole and home all day you have no excuse not to keep the property in good condition.

I'd go even further and say 2 children, like they do in most European countries. Working couples can't afford more than 2 or 3 kids so why indulge anymore than that for non-workers? And a 4 bed house is also way more than most working couples can afford.

We need to make it a far less attractive proposition for these people to be scrounging than if they were working, simple as.

I often wonder would it make any difference if the word “entitled” was replaced by “qualify”

Two very different things IMV. But anyway.
