    Is not having enough room for the trampoline a valid one?

    We talking an 8ft or 13ft? And does it have a good netting enclosure?

    Well an 8ft would be out because you need to have more than 1ft per child.

    Surely an articulate woman like this is capable of working?

    The irony is thousands of working people agree with some of what she says but they're too busy working to stand in front of the Dail and rant. Working people have rights too, Margaret. Many of them lost their homes in the last financial crisis despite them working their fingers to the bone and doing their best to keep the banks happy. Many of them are homeless too. People who have worked all their lives, paid into the system all their lives and have done so through thick and thin.

    Working people have rights too.

    She played a ****ty not fit for purpose system and won. If she was a TD reaping in expenses the party faithful would be chiming in with, 'What did he/she do that was illegal'? Or pats on the back for being a cute hoor.

    What has that got to do with the price of tea in China?

    What I think annoys others and definitely myself, is that we did not have one politician from any party call out this blatant p*ss take. Similar to that other spoofer Erica, who was congratulated by the now Tanaiste and got to speak at another's party's ard fheis.

    Facebook is not anonymous.

    There is no way in hell I'd state my views (moderate with respect to the tone on this thread) publicly.


    I kinda value being employed....

    I'd love to have seen someone take the microphone from her outside Dail Eireann and challenge her.
    Just any random walking on Kildare Street that day.
    Ask her the awkward questions that the media won ask her.

    You'd be hammered on social media for picking on a vulnerable woman.
    They'd be calls for you to be sacked from your job and if you didn't they'd want a boycott of where you worked.

    I think the likes of Facebook and Twitter have became dangerous places. I don't think you should just be able to block comments on your page so only peoples comments you agree with appear , which in turn are not seen by people who follow you. It creates a very one dimensional view of society.

    I don't comment on Facebook or Twitter just observe but lately you see the same nonsense thrown up unchallenged for example the ruc evicted squatters, guards are scum, everything in politics is corrupt because Gemma won't be president and it's recited again and again by the followers.

    While I won't agree with everyone on boards it's good the platform is there where you can see both sides of a debate, challenge statements or just try and give help to someone trying to wire a plug in the electrical forum.

    I know this is not directly related to this story but nice to hear alternative voices and thanks to the mods etc. who make it possible.

    The mob mentality is unbelievable really, you'd have to wonder how many of them actually form/have their own opinions on matters, or are just blindly following the opinions of those who shout loudest. I find it hard to understand how so many people can defend Margaret Cash, considering the facts of the case - maybe they don't know the facts (i.e. that she's a leech) or, for some reason, just choose to ignore them. "There are none so blind as those who will not see" springs to mind..

    Someone on €50k that would rather spend €30 on fake designer clothing. It’s a Moore street special I bet. Those Cash types squander it all on their boyfriends/husbands drink, people carriers, gold and fake tan.

    I think that's the most depressing sentence I have ever read.

    Because it's true.

    People like cash are seen as anti establishment rebels, a segment of the Liberal population despise the middle class and cheer on anyone who sticks two fingers up to them, hence why the media loves travellers.

    Exactly.

    For example why she can't go and find a house to rent with all the completely unearned money she receives...

    I also think that there needs to be a rule whereby anyone who trashes a council property gets disqualified from ever getting another one. There is absolutely no reason why an adult who has the nous to fill out forms at 18 for their foreva home can't look after it. If you can't respect a property, then you don't deserve a property.

    If you rip out fixtures and fittings then off with ya to get a mortgage of your own. Lets see how quickly you'll wreck the doors, carpets or plumbing that you actually paid for yourself.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Margaret ends up in politics herself.

    If she had got a proper education and applied herself she would have had no problem getting into further education but her culture has held her back. It would be good to see her getting a proper education followed by some kind of job and setting a positive example for her children. Sadly politics is the best option for her, she would be far worse off if she were working.

    Yes we're all annoyed at her for milking the system but in a way she knows no better and is astute enough to know that there is no better option for her. She knows that she won't find a job that pays enough to support the lifestyle she currently has. She is intelligent enough to realise that many people who have completed college and are working full time are no nearer to getting a house than she is.

    If she does get further education the best way she could use it for herself in the current rigged system is to become an activist and join one of the far left parties that call for the non-working class to get even more handouts. It may not be right, but it's the way the system currently works.
