The Leader have a variation of the story now. She's off for a vacation in Spain this year! Oh, and she is "taking legal advice with a view to taking action against Limerick City Council" to reimburse her for 2000 euro.

Serinna, I demand a postcard.

She cannot put Jordan in the same room as her two other youngsters, because she says the drugs he is on causes harm

If the drugs are making him voilent, maybe it's time to change the drugs?

She wants €2,000 as a repayment for when she was forced to pay for a new floor, paint works, and the clothes she had to replace as a result.

This just gets better & better:pac::pac:

It doesn't say as a result of what

Serinna confirmed she is taking legal advice with a view to taking action against Limerick City Council. She wants €2,000 as a repayment for when she was forced to pay for a new floor, paint works, and the clothes she had to replace as a result.

it just gets better! well done to the Leader, you've a bit to go before you hit samantha brick daily mail standard, but you're going well!

meanwhile, this imbecile can't be for real surely? she goes off to spain instead of getting the heating fixed, and now wants a new wardrobe of chothes to top it all off? i hope LCC has the sense to tell her go swing!

It's OK for him to share a room with an 18 month old however? I'm confused

Has anyone ever heard the statement 'A paper never refuses ink'.
This stinks of a massive amount of hyperbole by some nosey neighbour wanting her 10 minutes of fame down the pub.

And since when has the Limerick Leader become a reputable source

and the flights are only 800 even though she hasnt booked them yet.

she must have a deal with ryanair where they've agreed not to raise the price of flights the closer it gets to the date of departure for her.

not to mention saving €20 a week to pay for the holiday, she had her last foreign holiday back in January, so saving 20 quid a week since then would leave here with 200-240.

Finally, i'd love to know what clothes she wore painting that she needs compensation for.

micropig

I just checked the Ryanair website there, 2 adults 3 children & 1 <2 Shannon- Malaga July €1,409.50 EUR if she books today..


When is she due her next baby? When is it too close to the birth to fly?

Maybe she should set up a travel agency with the deals she's getting:pac:

In the interview in on 95fm she said she could not work because if the school Jordan was going to rang she would have to go straight away nobody else can manage him.

My question is what if she gets one of these calls while a woman is in labour - is she just going to drop everything and run? :eek::eek::pac:

She was living in apartment she was never housed, that is why she is still on housing list 9 years later. Who know's why she had to move out ? My friend was living in rented house was given a week to move with her 2 children when landlord "forgot" to tell her bank had taken the house. Luckily she could move home for a short while. Maybe this girl in similar situation who knows. But yes no children should be subject to that.

Maybe she's hoping to get on the Late Late Show too. And sure if she qualifies for free legal aid, why would'nt she sue or at least try its not going to cost her anything and if she wins won't she have more spending money for her holiday, or maybe her next one.

An apartment is a house/home. I don't see why one would not be good enough

From the article

Ms Murray became homeless late last year when she was evicted from her apartment, saying: “I couldn’t find anywhere to live before Christmas. No landlord that I rang wanted to take me with five kids. I have been on the housing list for nine years and nothing is being done. I should be allowed to provide some kind of home for my kids.”

She was evicted. She receives rent allowance to pay rent. It needs to be clarified why she was evicted.


Ironic that she is complaining "I should be allowed to provide some kind of home for my kids"


She is allowed provide. She wants the state to provide-that the problem.

She receives €700+ children's allowance/month
€X? rent allowance
Unemployment
and god knows what else

With that amount of money it..go rent a house

Would she be able to claim for the clothes she wrecked during painting?

oh, and new clothes for the show of course, she might pick up something nice in spain to wear, or will that require a trip to Milan?;)

Serinna, I demand a postcard.

Assuming this is all factually accurate, the story goes as follows: the state has to pay for her legal advice, so she sue can the council (an offshoot of the state effectively) to cover the costs of repairs to her state funded house? And if the state somehow loses, they will have to pay her more money on top of what she has already gotten free from the state, an extra €2,000 according to her. And after that metaphorical kick in the balls, then the state will have to pay for her trip to Spain, costing over €1000 on travel and accomodation alone, before spending money which for 6 people will almost definitely top another €1000? She can put away €20 a week for holidays, but yet she can't pay €2 a week for the Household Charge? Is this a f***ing wind up?

After reading all that, when Joan Burton inevitably cuts this sort of welfare in this country I will be sending her chocolates, flowers a thank you card.

LIMERICK FATHER RESUMES PICKET OVER HOUSING ISSUE
25 April 2012
A Limerick father of eight children is back picketing City Hall after his meeting with housing officials last week.
Jason Casey is accusing the council of discriminating against large families because he has been on the housing waiting list for ten years.
Currently he has five daughters in one bedroom of his rented three bed house and he is hoping for a larger home in the Garryowen area.
Jason began his campaign on St Patrick's Day and says his meeting with housing officials did not give him any reason to quit..






If you listen to the interview on the radio, his suggestions to the council have been: knock 2 houses together or build him a new one:D:D


This seems to be spreading

Lay abouts asking for free stuff? Nothing new :pac:

Let's see what facts have been independently verified.

13-year-old has been diagnosed with ADHD? No.
13-year-old is having hallucinations? No.
Heating system was incorrectly installed? No.
Walls were unplastered? No.
Floor needed to be replaced? No.
House needed to be repainted? No.

What's our source for accepting these things apart from Serinna? None.

Well that seems to settle it then. The poor woman is having an awful time.

its about a child that we are not its parents so we don't need to discus its problems or lack of , adults are fair game in my book but

kids no matter what are off limits - insinuations about kids are just wrong

dont bring the children's medical health into the debate - but i thought everyone would understand this - obviously not

oh i have it all right , it called a moral compass , i don't condone or debate a child's mental health or otherwise on a public forum , ESPECIALLY when the child can be identified - in this case he can.

the mental health of this or any child ( that can be identified ) , has no place being mentioned

a overall debate on the subject is fine , knock lumps out of the adults all people want - just don't be Pr1cks and start it on individual children
people were dropping insinuations about THIS CHILD that he was or his mother was faking it to gain favor , HOW THE **** DO THEY KNOW THIS ??

my problem ( and it does not matter that she brought it up ) is with the smart arsed comment about a CHILD - what part of fu2k off and leave the question of a childs mental health,how are you people not getting this

Why else would she have done an interview on radio or in the paper? So people have the right to question if what she's saying is true. People are questioning her, not the child.

If you have evidence of independent verification, I'll be happy to accept it. But to the best of my knowledge, these claims by Serinna are unsupported by independent confirmation.

If you know otherwise, please share this information and that will be an end of the matter. I'll be more than happy to withdraw my comments and apologise.

Who has confirmed Serinna's story that the child gets hallucinations?
Who has confirmed Serinna's story that he's a danger to his sibling?
Who has confirmed Serinna's story that the heating was installed incorrectly?
Who has confirmed Serinna's story that the walls were unplastered?

oh sorry doctor token101 - i did not realize you had made a clinical diagnoses , and gained permission from your patient to post your diagnoses

tell you what , next time the debate is on her local radio , why dont you and the others questioning how well the child is, go live on air and have this debate , and see how far you get , irregardless if the mother brought it up.

you can not talk about the mental health of individual children in a public forum , a child that can be identified WITHOUT the prior consent of the legal guardians - so off you go and quick as you like you will be speaking to a solicitor

but its real easy to do it anomalously knowing that your covered , real slick

becasue you are talking out you arse

and as i have already answered , the woman in question can say what she wants ABOUT HER CHILD - nobody else can , full stop , simple as that

you think im wrong , as i said , go live about your insinuations and stop hiding behind you AH persona and see how quick you get sued
