    Was just on Margaret Cash's Facebook and she put up a post reminding us, that just this time last year, she gave an impassioned speech on homelessness outside the gates of the dail and to never give up on fighting to get our home,

    Such a strong woman, who now has her home which has a new addition - a little horse, no less - a present she got her son for his birthday.

    Inspirational stuff to see on a Friday, when I'm about to head home after a 60odd hour week

    Ah yes. After the women cycling thread comes the traveller bashing one. What's next, trans people or immigrants?

    It's not traveller bashing. The fact this woman gets over 50k a year in benefits while having to pay maybe 160 quid a month on rent, medical bills all paid etc.... For anybody working to be left with that after rent/mortgage/medical bills they would be earning in excess of 70k.... The fact she is better off financially than thousands of people working is wrong. Every effort should be made to high light how unequal Irish Society really is to the middle class

    I do agree with you. I can't stand the woman and all she gets but my point was that here is yet another thread about her and no doubt travellers. There plenty of them already.

    Haha! If you go to parties and spend your time giving out about Margaret Cash then you go to the wrong kind of parties.

    I'll never forget the fawning media coverage, sold us a sob story without bothering to dig a little deeper into her background. As a consequence, my trust in RTÉ was eroded completely.

    Why are you all begrudging this woman her good fortune at your expense?

    Shocking.

    I'm sure as the good upstanding citizen that she is, she is in compliance with The Control of Horses Act 1996 by having a licence for the horse and ensuring that it is microchipped and has a passport.

    Do you also not have the money or facilities to house a horse, Maryanne? Those would be the main 2 reasons why I wouldn't get a horse.

    No, though I think her jailbird husband has been released, so there's probably a bit more welfare coming in now.

    Your comparison is just daft tbh. You don’t actually envy her lifestyle because it’s shìte compared to your own, and working 60odd hours a week if you feel you’re not being paid enough, that’s a conversation you need to have with your employers.

    You’re right, it’s not “traveller bashing” (stupid phrase anyway), it’s another whinge thread about “how unequal Irish Society really to the middle classes”, sure God love ya :pac:

    You’re mistaking gossip and speculation for facts, but don’t let that stop you having a good whinge all the same.

    You shouldn't be taking this up with us. Get down to your local People Before Profit clinic and empower yourself.
    When they are finally in government, we will all have horses, one for every garden and ENDLESS DOLE for EVERYONE.

    I think it's actually more, a PAYE worker would need to be on 80K+ a year to make as much as she does.
    It's a disgrace.
    I'll stop here or ill be permabanned.

    It's not, people like Ms cash are sc*m. They ruin it for the people who are genuinely in need and its not fair on people who work. In my opinion if a person chooses to work 60 hours a week every week instead of getting a free house that person is an eejit
