I’ve come to the conclusion the whole Margaret Cash lifestyle is a business model. Every extra kid gets you extra money and more of a chance of getting a free house. Woman not too far away from me with 4 kids and now split up from partner with new man moved in. So now she’s getting all her benefits and maintenance every week in cash from the father of the kids. The new man will also be paying into the house. If they ‘decide’ to have a kid then she’s getting more money and trapping the new man aswell. She’s a winner all round from just basically being a slag.

Not really sending the right signal when you have charts like this on citizensinformation.ie showing how much you can earn for up to 8 children as if it's a target to be met

to be fair it’s their job to show people what they are entitled to. Only a fcuking clown would look at it as some sort of goal to meet.

What size council house would you get if you had eight children?

An interesting question to ask any council that would answer honestly would be whether having 'a lot' (say 4+) children is actually beneficial or hinders their chances because none of the councils have a large stock of houses with more than 3-beds and they aren't focusing on building any either. They may have internal guidelines that a family of 8-9 may have to be housed in a house with at least 4,5 bedrooms.

Based on the amount of time Margaret has been on the list, she should in theory be expecting to be housed within the next 3-4 years but it's quite possible that her continuing to have more kids has / is affecting her chances of being housed.

Why kids should dictate the size of the house you are offered is beyond me - when I was a kid I shared a double bed in one room with my two brothers.
I turned out alright (I think)

Calling it now, the Sun or another Irish tabloid is going to start treating her like a celebrity now and report on all her ramblings and protests. 98FM said of today's interview that it was their most controversal ever. I guarantee even after this latest news the media is now going to give her more attention instead of less!

Take a working man with a non-working spouse, no children, earning 50k, who first pays tax of around 10k on his income in 2018. He has a rent of 1500 a month which leaves his bank account the same day he gets paid, so like Margaret Cash he has an income of 50k a year, but after tax and rental payment, he has 22k.

If you want to compare a hard-working person getting up early every day to Margaret Cash, you can compare like with like.

So, a married person with a non-working spouse, earning 75k per year, pays tax of around 22k, leaving him with €52,649 per year, less 18k in rent, leaves him and his spouse after tax and rent with €34,649, less than Margaret Cash.

Now, if you or others heard of a man earning 75k a year robbing clothes from Pennys, what would you say?

Now, we have all heard Margaret Cash ranting about TDs outside the Dail and how the gubberment are all robbing her. So how does Margaret Cash compare to a TD?

TD's salary is €93,599. A single person, paying 6.5% pension contribution, as well as tax, on a TD's salary is left with €54,477 after tax and pension contribution.

http://services.deloitte.ie/tc/Results.aspx

Take away the rent of €1500 a month, 18k annually that he pays on the apartment he rents in Dublin and he is left with €36,477, a mere €477 more than Margaret Cash. However, unfortunately for him, I haven't included the pension levy, which when applied is another €6k approximately, which leaves him with €30k into his hand, a full €6k less than Margaret Cash.

If she were to run for election I might just give her a vote so that she can learn how the real world lives.

Look at the figures.

A single person working in the public service would have to earn around 100k to end up as well off as Margaret Cash. That is the real disgrace in Ireland because there are thousands and thousands of nurses and guards and firemen and teachers working their asses off every day, and they are not as well off as the likes of Margaret Cash, and they never get their forever home.

You can’t compare these hypothetical childless people with a parent of whatever many kids she has. Child benefit is 140 a month, payable to all your examples if they have kids. However it’s nowhere near enough to feed and clothe a child, never mind pay for any other activities they do.

Hell if the TD you mentioned had 7 kids, they’d qualify for the working family payment.

Elephant in the room they are still working and paying a crap load in taxes so a little back in children's benefit is hardly begrudging
Ms Cash pays nothing and gets everything for free

Actually she costs us a fortune with all the court appearances on top paid by yours truly

Its the people who are out working every day and having to pay their mortgage/rent that concern me.
Prices in dublin are absolutely crazy and these are the people the government should be helping out not good for nothing layabouts who want a house near their family.
Absolutely no one on welfare should be given a house anywhere in the city center. These properties are far too valuable and are needed to provide accommodation to workers when businesses are enticed to move here, especially with brexit looming.
What business on earth would move to Dublin with the way things are at the moment? Your employees won't be able to rent or buy a house, and they'll probably have to do 2 hour commutes each way so that's a non-starter.
We've already had finance houses saying not a chance when asked to review Dublin and have instead gone with Stuttgart or Frankfurt.

Agree the priorities are all wrong.

The wasters get houses in prime locations close to the city centree while working people commute to Meath Kildare etc.

Left wing media and politicians giving into the sensationalist stories means the working people get no voice.

delly · 20-10-2018 11:33am

You know I don't expect nor rely on the extra 5 or 10 euro the budget brings me as an average industrial wage worker. Excluding 6 months following a redundancy in 2010, I have worked since leaving school in 1997 and I know that budgets and economic boom times don't necessarily transfer over to a big increase in wages. What does frustrate me is the sector of society which expect everything and more from the government just because the media isn't telling them we are in a recession.

I went for a walk last week around my town and while on this walk following my days work I observed a young couple with a baby in a buggy, chatting to another person. The 'dad' in this couple was very loudly spoken and had a thick Dublin accent, nothing wrong with this, I'm a Dub myself. What was obvious from hearing his voice however was that slurred speak that you might commonly hear from habitual drug users, aka junkies. When I got closer still I noted that this person had several tattoos, nothing wrong with this, I'm a fan of body art and the ingenious designs that can be created. The problem was that these tattoos were on his neck, cheek and forehead.

Now, what's the point of my ramble? Well in this case I made an assumption and that was that this person does not work, may never work and will likely be a continual draw on the social welfare system, a bit like the person whom this thread is about. And to go along with that thought, I will be the one paying for it along with my society contributing brothers and sisters (I mean every other taxpayer, not my actual family). As maddening as this is, nothing will change on that front in the foreseeable future, there won't be protests or Facebook posts sharing the disgraceful government. We'll all just be too busy contributing to society to have the time to do it, or secondly risk the possible shame of speaking such views openly in case we are branded as the next Trump.

You know how much a worker on e30,000 got back this budget delly? Less than e1 a week IIRC! This left leaning government , lead by that snake is a disgrace!

I want to know how, in a country with **** health service , infrastructure, housing crisis etc etc etc. funny how we can afford and tolerate an insane welfare spend! Then tax low income workers at the marginal rate , 50% of their earning over that pittance of an amount. The working poor being robbed to pay the workshy wasters who are probably living a better standard of living. Guaranteed income, no commute, no job , f*ck them!

Make sure you go out and vote for more of the same though at election time. Number one to Leo and his band of snakes!
