    Its declaration and you're soapboxing at this stage. She isnt St Violet just for signing a DECLARATION. She really isn't.

    We don’t have any proof that she actually submitted it. For all we know she took the picture, posted it on facebuke then shredded the declaration.

    Why would a responsible mother choose to bring even more children into a rat infested home?

    it was certainly not rat infested not before she lived in it anyway

    She also signed a lease agreement saying she would pay her rent. Look how that declaration turned out.

    She's a proven welcher.
    If she'd welch on a housing charity for 4 years, dragging them through the court and watching them collapse, what makes anyone think she'll do anything other than pocket this 8K.

    Her "declaration" isn't worth the steam of my dogs turd on a frosty morning.

    As I said, every FF/FG TD will cream themselves if she doesn't.


    You won't miss it.

    The expenses list for February is published and ALL the TDs appear to have submitted their claims. Based on attendance between 8th-29th February (15 working days if Mon-Fri), Violet has checked into the Dáil for 3 days. Apart from a few TDs who claimed less, the majority of TDs claimed the same figure for the area band they are located in. These expenses were paid on 27th February.

    So, Violet has claimed the equivalent of 1106.56 to sign in to the Dáil each time. This puts her 3rd on the list of a hundred and thirty something TDs for highest sign in/expenses ratio. She’ll have her debt paid back in 4 months at this rate. Go Violet!

    Dispicable, but expected.

    In fairness she isn’t the only one. But it shows she does have the means to pay back the debt.

    I wonder if there are creditors of the charity who never got paid when the charity closed? I think she should be contacting the charity’s accountants as she is a debtor rather than her making statements that she’ll pay it to whomever she likes. If she pays it that is.

    Was she entitled to the expenses claimed?


    Did she do a FG and gets someone else to pretend she was there? or was she there?


    If they were legitimate expenses I don't see what the problem is.


    If she falsely claimed them, that's a big problem.


    Did she?

    Not sure what company you work for.


    In mine expenses claimed are not after tax profits.

    Maryanne84, do you have any further questions on this ?

    You are getting your knickers in a twist. They are legitimate expenses for travel and accommodation to the Dáil. I was just showing what her 3 visits to the Dáil equates to.

    Calm down.

    Actually, expenses in the wrong word. TAA stands for Travel and Accomodation ALLOWANCE. It’s not vouched.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,360 ✭✭✭limnam


    . It’s not vouched.


    Bloody should be.

    I agree. But as it stands they are all entitled to it and it will be interesting to see what they all get for March and April.

    Would you agree that this would be the perfect opportunity to clear that debt though? And liaise with the charity’s accountants to see if she, as a debtor, can still pay that off?

    I don’t remember asking a question about that picture. It didn’t make sense to me. Maybe you could explain what it’s supposed to be? Just to keep the thread going.

    She should make the donation as quickly as she can.


    I'm not advocating she shouldn't pay it back

    What’s your thoughts on liaising with the charity accountants as a first port of call?

    Why do you use the word donation?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,360 ✭✭✭limnam

    Because that's what she's committed to doing.

    Couldn't care less?



    Paid is paid.

    That makes no sense. My broadband is with Vodafone. If I make a payment to Three, my debt to Vodafone remains.

    If there are creditors still outstanding with the charity you are saying you couldn’t care less if they get paid or not. I am not saying there are creditors as I do not know. But if there were, you would rather they remain suffering the consequences of a business closing down.

    Your are not going to change your stance on this matter at all. Like Violet, you really haven’t shown yourself in a good light. That’s a shame as the ability to compromise is a good trait.

    I said I couldn't care less if she goes to the solicitor or not


    We're talking about a hypothetical situation.



    If she does what she said she will do I'll be happy.


    If there is creditors. Maybe FG should have bailed them out before pulling funding from a housing charity during a housing crisis

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
