    Is she 'entitled' to one of those for free as well?

    Don't worry, the Gardaí will give you a pudding box before bed and a hot breakfast in the morning.
    Just tell them you name is Cash, Maggie Cash.

    Wednesday August 22nd Back sleeping in garda station as apartment is too small and not the forever home she's 'entitled' to.

    Wednesday August 29th Prisoner 6753 checks into Cloverhill, cell mate? John McCarthy who is in the middle of a bonking session with a mysterious mother of 7.

    'Delighted for you, but just make sure it's big enough for you and your family's needs. You have them on the ropes, and they know you have the public on your side' :rolleyes:

    Do make sure it is to your exact specifications please.

    Your entitled hun... It's the least those of us who work for a living could do...

    Why? When every TD, councillor, radio station and journalist wanted this outcome.

    I'm sickened beyond words, at this stage.

    I'm glad that I was reared by hard working parents, something that those kids who were used for a photo opportunity this time last week, will never know.

    Nobody, absolutely nobody wants to see kids being dragged into a Garda station to sleep. I have every sympathy for those children.
    This, however, makes a mockery, IMO, of many many decent people who are struggling.

    If anything, we should be moving towards a Cash-less society.

    There’ll hopefully be something big coming out in the next year or so about housing allocations and undue influence used by staff in a certain county council 2 former town councils.

    Why the year or so wait?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,917 ✭✭✭Grab All Association


    Why the year or so wait?

    Because the local authority in question loves boarding up houses for 1 year minimum so they’ll get all nice and damp and moldy. Then allocating them without fixing the problem.

    Right, so the houses they boarded up last year, should be damp and mouldy by now. And it can come out now?

    Let's look at the situation again:

    How can the State stop consenting adults from shagging? It can't.

    How can the State stop consenting shagging adults from refusing to use contraception? It can't.

    How can the State stop any fertile woman, irrespective of her mental, physical, financial or intellectual capacity, from getting pregnant from time to time? It can't.

    How can the State prevent a woman who wants to drop a sprog every year from doing so? It can't.

    So we are faced with the inevitability that sprogs are going to arrive at regular intervals, and some of those sprogs are going to be produced by useless, parasitic wasters like Cash and whoever screwed her.

    The question then arises of what should be done with the sprog.

    Remember that the infant didn't choose its feckless mother and scumbag father - what a truly rotten start to life those deeply flawed, carnal, self-indulgent parents have inflicted on the poor kid from the very start. :(

    Bear in mind the fact that the child has done absolutely nothing wrong and it has the same right to be cared for like every other Irish child - fed, clothed, housed, educated and given any medical treatment necessary.

    We're left with only two possible solutions - either we leave the child with its feckless mother (meaning that we must house the mother and provide her with the funding required to provide for the child) or we deem her unfit to raise her own child, so it will be placed with a foster family (which costs a lot more and may end up leaving the child with problems when it grows up.)

    (Of course if you take her kids off her, she'll just have more because she misses them!)

    So which will it be, folks?

    The Tusla weekly rates for fostering a child are = under 12: €325 / over 12: €352. So for Cash's 7 kids, that's about €120,000 a year.

    When the kids are taken away from the feckless mother, so will her multiple payments, like the aptly named Mickey money and the hope of moving up the housing list.

    Parasite will then realise that babies, are in fact, not paycheques and might cross her legs every once in a while i.e. won’t wanna be pregnant for 9 months when she’ll gain nothing from it.

    Short term pain for longer term gain for the taxpayer.

    Looking across from the LUAS at Heuston to a lad sleeping on a bench under a cheap duvet.

    That's homeless. Where's his series of fawning news articles????

    Council paying rents up to €2,800 a month for affordable housing
    Nobody's jumping up and down about this waste of taxpayers money. DCC should be able to CPO land at a good price and tender social house building to get value for housing. They should be able to build houses for about €100 per sq.ft. or roughly €100-120k per unit. With very low interest loans this should only be about €500 per month over 20 years.

    Don't we own the largest banks as a State??

    Could we not negotiate loads of reasonable mortgages?

    Sounds a lot like commie/socialism to me.


    Why not just let those who can buy houses, those who cant, rent, and those that can do neither should be housed in council estates.
    We had that in the 80s and no one wanted to go there unless they had to as it was a cesspit of the local ne'erdowells.


    That's what social housing should be. A last resort of the low/non paid. not this cushy setup we have now where women (or men) with irresponsible batches of sprogs get free houses from my wage packet and that of those like me.

    The point is someone signed off on providing accommodation for 4-5 times what it should cost the council to supply. Where's the accountability to the taxpayer there. A couple of percent on the rate isn't the difference.

    Ah I meant for the workers ELM, those who need a little assistance and have contributed before.

    You've not paid into the pot you don't get to collect!

    Fair point - be interesting to know that but I imagine the "activists" don't care.

    The State actually has 3 options not 2.

    Option no.3 is removal of the child from the parents (at birth or at any age upto the age of 18) and removing parental rights and putting the childern up for adoption. The cost to the State would be reduced by the additional upkeep given to the birth parents who would be classes as single people. The State would have prescreened the parenting capacity of the adults who will guide the child into adulthood.
