The Curious Case of Violet-Anne Wynne

    Do you realise that it is likely that your own house isn't "up to council standard"?


    It might be the nicest house in the country, but there could be one or two little boxes that just aren't ticked.

    Perhaps you have a fabulous expensive Aga range on which you do all your cooking and which heats all the water for house.....but the Council standards maybe say you need a 4 ring gas or electric cooker and either an external oil or gas fired boiler to heat the water.

    All I know is they had made complaints about problems with the house and it wasn't up council standard.

    I don't want to assume what was or wasn't wrong.

    Lets deal with what we know

    The only way to discuss anything with me is to pretend I'm someone else.

    Interesting.

    Yes. We know that Ms. VAW says there was a problem with the house. Although there is of course no proof of same. We know that it was significant enough, in her opinion, to justify squatting there without rent for years.

    We also know that it was not significant enough, in her opinion, to warrant moving out and finding a new place to live.

    What's more, the problems were not significant enough to make her think that it was unsafe place to bring up children, going on an oul' spree of firing them out over the following rent-free squatting years.

    Relax Jim.

    I've always maintained I'd like to know more about the situation.

    The fact she's declared to give 8k a year back from her wages etc.

    I'm not seeing the self entitled gouger theme.

    Everyone deserves a chance. Even the rotten gougers who were fleecing the state on her card.

    Was getting tens of thousands from the state yet wouldn't pay €63 per week rent is all you need to know.

    Now here she is handing back 8k of her salary a year to the state unlike most other TD's who try to cream us for everything including the current bunch looking for a few grand working from home allowance.

    I think it's great to see and if more TD's had this moral fiber we'd be in a much better place.

    She’d probably make a great housing minister.

    Only a small few other TDs suggested an extra working from home grant. As you know from earlier posts, it was rejected.

    This is the last time I'll hold your hand through the thread. It's hard to believe you're a parent.

    "HSE CEO Paul Reid said today that the HSE doesn’t want any further delivery of this equipment which doesn’t meet its specifications"

    "It follows the Business Post reporting this morning that four of the ten items assessed in an audit of the PPE delivered were described as “unsuitable” or “not suitable for use” in clinical or other healthcare settings."

    They have EOB which would make an excellent one.

    The number of them is not relevant.

    The nerve and gal of them is the problem.

    So this is your story.

    I signed up as Violet to boards 7 years ago.

    Mostly discuss football and IT related topics. So I could one day come into a SF thread pretend to be someone else to explain why I didn't pay rent.

    I think I've posted in two SF threads in 7 years. Mostly never in the political fora.

    This is your theory.

    Gobsh|te.

    While other TD's are looking for big hands outs for working from home on massive wages while hundreds of thousands go on to the dole.

    Here we have one handing back her 8k raise.

    Fair play to her.

    SF have form when it comes to bogus assertions of making do with the "average industrial wage." Given the vast wealth of that "business friendly" party, what mechanisms of transparency will be put in place to assure the public that such gestures will not be negatived by the party's generosity to its members, or by benefits in kind such as hospitality provided by the "martyrs" who own holiday homes in Donegal?

    Don't forget to tell Jim Connolly about the fair play. I'm sure he will be very impressed.

    Is this similar to given ex FG TD's who didn't get elected hundreds of thousands of euro for a business which did nothing but rent an empty warehouse?

    This sort of carry on? or?

    Or is this close to Hugh McElvaney and his "I want loadsa money" ?

    With the amount of non declared directorships etc in FG's ranks.

    "form" is probably not the right thing to bring here.

    "what's in it for me??"

    hahahah :)

    The last time Sinn Fein claimed something like this, it was found to be untrue with TDs like Dessie Ellis not falling in line. I won't believe she is handing anything back until I see proof as she and SF have no credibility.

    I don't recall Dessie making any deceleration to this did he ?

    What has a procurement issue in the HSE got to do with our good friend Violet?

    A distraction, and if that doesn't work, bring up the old faithful, Denis O'Brien.

    Someone brought up how the current government were handling the current crisis.

    Or things she could have done with the money.

    Feel free to read the thread.

    Right gotcha.

    So when there is a procurement issue in a HSE order it is squarely the fault of the government.

    When VAW makes a personal decision to stop paying rent, for several years, to the tune of €12k, she gets a free pass from you. Strange logic but whatever your having yourself.

    No pass.

    I was just stating she's now giving up 8k of her salary to the state.

    She didn't potentially cause death's to people for fcking up one of the most important investment in health for years.

    But I guess there's a comparison there somewhere.....

    The Chinese manufacturers fcked up the order. Just saying.

    I'm sure there's someone to blame.

    IT glitch for the 100 people getting the wrong results.

    What was the excuse for the cervical cancer mistakes.

    There's always an excuse.

    As I said. Lets hope it didn't cause any further deaths.

    She's actually not giving 8k of her wages to the state. It has no impact on her and is not her decision.

    Given that SF TD's take home only the average industrial wage (lets pretend that's true). Then the amount that she takes home is the same regardless of whether she returns 8k or 18k or 28k even.


    This returning of money appears to be the case for all of the SF TDs. They have all coincidentally returned the same amount. The cynical person (read anyone with a tiny bit of cop on) might conclude that this was a party mandated decision.

    Furthermore, given that she was elected apparently only as a result of being given a SF badge, she owes her salary and potential "political future" to them.
    Should there be another election next month, and she was taken from the SF ticket for whatever reason, then my understanding is that her chances of getting elected as an independent (possibly running against a new SF candidate) are extremely low. So she has to play ball. She can't do a moany Claire Daly and do a runner after getting elected so as to not hand up her agreed share and expect to get elected again off her own bat.

    Given that she apparently spent nearly all her 20's living on the dole and scrounging from the state, along with her partner similarly contributing, it is likely that she would not be able to match her "average industrial wage" off her own back. So she simply knows that she has to do what that central council tell her to do.

    To reiterate my main point. Her giving back 8k or 16k or 0k has no actual impact on her one bit (unless of course the Shinners tell a few fibs about taking only the average industrial wage)

    All I know is she made a deceleration to give to the state 8k euro as a TD she's entitled to.

    At a time when other TD's are looking for WFH policies to get more money from the state

    Great to see/hear from any TD/Party.

    Spin it anyway you want. That's what she did
