    Contraception isn't a solution to an accident.

    So the state has to shell out for her 5 'accidents'? Is anyone accountable for their actions anymore? She's on welfare, supposedly a temporary stop gap, a temporary refuge for people. It's not meant as a lifestyle choice. She's got a 3 bed semi out of it plus countless other benefits. She's got enough. She wants more? Do what everybody else has to do; save money or get a job. Not possible? Well tell her the same thing they tell tradesmen and sole traders who can't get dole; tough sh*t. Surely they should be a higher priority than people who just keep leeching and bleeding the SW dry?

    As an aside, why doesn't the 18 month old sleep in her room and leave the other kid sleep?

    Could her or the childs father not have completed a FAS course in plastering and done it themselves if it was that bad?


    Free to do and they'd still be able to keep their entitlements


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 672 ✭✭✭Battered Mars Bar


    “When we moved in here, the condition of this house was deplorable. There was no plaster - it was only last year we were able to plaster the front room."

    Could have been done a lot sooner if she went out and bought the plaster herself like any normal person would do or maybe even hire a plasterer since there's no mention of a father.

    Another example of everything that is wrong in society today.

    Saying that, the vile garbage being spouted by some people here who ironically seem to think they are superior is disgraceful. You're no better.

    Boards has really gone to the dogs lately.


    pointing out what is obviously wrong with this state does not make anyone superior - standing up for cretins who don't deserve our help makes them culpable

    so so many people who really need help never get heard , so when oxygen thieves like her get press space they should be shouted down until they never raise their resource grabbing heads again ....

    dont forget why she is giving out - she wants extra space so all her kids can have a room :mad: boo hoo

    i grew up in a small council house in dublin with 9 of us , father and mother worked , with good role models we all grew up to own our own houses and business , NONE of my family are on the dole or have children we cant afford
    why - becasue we were not hand out knuckle dragging scum
    dont like what i call her - well tough , becasue that is what she is to me

    We need some mandatory community service for people like these. 10 hours a week for each rugrat or something.

    I know how she feels...there was 15 of us in a 14 bed house...tough times indeed...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,717 ✭✭✭YFlyer


    Its quiet simple, she lives in moyross, possibly the worst scumbag estate in Limerick, isn't that where dundons live?

    They live in Weston. Some of the MacCarthys AFAIK live in Moyross tho.

    If the complaint is the man is a looser etc...stop having sex with losers and get to know them first.

    Looser than what? :D In my experience a lot of men are quite practised at hiding their loserness until it's too late for all concerned.
    I went to work there thinking I would feel good for helping people but I left after a few months because of the attitude of the people there.

    Probably the worst and most naive reason for doing voluntary work. Most people don't use voluntary work to make themselves feel good. They do it because they want to help people and not to prop up their self-esteem. :rolleyes:
    What annoys me most is that she doesn't seem to have any idea of how lucky she is to be in a council house in the first place! The kids I work with are in inner city flats, the whole bottom floor all boarded up... place falling apart. Whole families in one/two bed flats. Cases of parent(s) sleeping on fold out couches in the sitting room. All the kids in one bedroom, 3 boys sleeping in a double bed in one family.. Another family with a little boy who has 3 sisters, so he had to leave the bedroom and he's on the couch. New baby keeping him up at night too. Poor lamb. She's so ungrateful! Other families with newcomer kids, Roma especially might have 3 or 4 families in one apartment! There is extreme poverty in this country - she is not a priority imo.

    Perhaps then they should, like people have suggested, have their vaginas sewn up/stapled/glued shut or perhaps be shot/hung/forcibly sterilised, or should have kept their legs crossed or even waited 20 years to make sure that the father of their children wasn't a loser.* I admire your nerve in bringing up the travail that the Roma might suffer, in AH. Waits for the string of abusive posts about them which will more than likely follow.



    I don't subscribe to any of these solutions.

    I wonder if she might be able to get a mortgage and buy a house herself for her family. That way, she would be able to select her own house.

    "Get a job." - genius.

    We know for a fact that she hasn't thought of that, that she definitely isn't looking for work, that she'd have no problem finding a job in a recession that would enable her to afford childcare, do we?


  • Posts: 0 ✭✭✭ Maximilian Flaky Nose


    the level of hatred towards this woman is just :eek:and the assumptions she is scum etc etc maybe her sense of entitlement is inflated however without seeing the house who knows what her living conditions are like .

    Also with all the young leaving the country maybe we need more woman having babies to fill the gap

    i do agree though that kids are expensive and where possible be carefully planned to have 4 children and one on the way isnt very smart however i dont think this woman is equilvalant to stalin nor do none of us know if she is a slut .

    5 of us in a 7 bedroom house, gold taps, granite worktops and marble staircase, we had 6 servants but 2 of them where children and a limo to get to pick up the labour, me ma & da never worked, never had to as the social picked up the tab for everything

    You'd think she was some kind of vile killer and child abuser judging by the drivel in this forum.

    Not that shocking. It's AH, where the outrage is always barely held in check and a reasonable percentage of the people who post here are really just trying to find a way to make themselves feel better by looking down on others.

    It's ****ing hilarious once you get used to it.

    ADHD does not cause fits. People like this give the parents of children with genuine ADHD a bad name.
    There were 4 children to two bedrooms when I was small -I got my own rooom when I left home and started earning a wage.

    Funny with all the crowds jeering for her to have her 'gee sown up', her 'gee stapled' and shouts for her to keep her legs together, not one person has suggested that the father(s) of the children take care of his children. Does he have no responsibility? I only know of one immaculate conception; after that I do believe it takes two at minimum.

    This woman has come from a disadvantaged area, and is doing the best she can. She hasn't given her kids away to be taken into care.

    There for the grace of God I go

    I may be wrong but I didn't see any mention in the article where it said the father(s) wern't contributing maintainence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,681 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    There is more to the article than the opening line. The LL is another rag that is imo trolling this story from both angles.

    Whether she has 10 children or 1 she is entitled to a safe house to raise the children. The housing in alot of Moyross is poor quality and the reason the regeneration was started and more or less abandoned as our Government bail the banks.

    Why couldn't the people of Moyross pay for their own houses if they want them like most of us.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,366 ✭✭✭micropig


    Why couldn't the people of Moyross pay for their own houses if they want them like most of us.

    Because they're disadvantaged

    Most* of them stem from generations of parents who didn't think of the consequences before having children, have allowed the state to pick up the tab, with no personal responsibility expected in return



    *I know some lovely people from Moyross aswell, not brandishing everyone

    ADHD is a school guidance Councillors favorite cop-out for parents of disruptive children, it makes all the gacinta's and chantelle's out there feel better about pissing away the day watching jeremy kyle instead of looking for a job or looking after the kids.

    If there are genuine cases of ADHD then I feel sorry for the parents of those children, but Id even go as far as to say 90% of the ADHD 'cases' in Ireland are false

    No I am not trolling, no I never said all 4 with one on the way were accidents. I already stated perhaps some were planned, perhaps she got pregnant on the pill (yes and it happens....often) perhaps she is ignorant of getting pregnant with the pull out method (yes,a lot of people still think this works...)

    I don't know the circumstances of the woman that she is soon to have 5 kids in a house that she deems unfit for raring them in. And neither does anyone else but it seems easier to condemn her and hurl abuse before considering them.

    Then people here are saying they want a 5 bedroom house in Killiney, then others complaining that she wants to stay in Moyross. So she's damned if she does/doesn't

    Either way, the pitchforks are a truely alight in this one.

    Windsock, if you thought about it for a second I think you would understand that this woman should be dragged into the street and shot, her house burned and her children sold on the black market.

    even when I was in school it was happening around 2003-2004 our school just went mad with diagnosing, Anyone who had ever been to see the principal for bullying or being disruptive was having their parents called down to hear about ADD & ADHD and how their child probably has it, talking to other people who went to other schools, similar stories.

    Every time you hear about somebody with ADHD using it as a court defense in the news its some scrote from a council estate who has a few criminal convictions.

    It is a real condition but I believe it is over diagnosed in Ireland

    TENS of thousands of children are being misdiagnosed with ADHD because they are the youngest in their class and their immaturity is being mistaken for hyperactivity, a study has suggested.

    This is a Canadian study but could apply to Ireland also

    lets get one thing straight , no one argues that if the house was sub standard , or dangerous then straight away she should have re furb work done ,
    but she is looking for A EXTRA ROOM , when either the 13 month old should be in her room or in a bunk bed - it is that simple

    truly the stupidity of some people fails to astonish me - along with the plebs sticking up for this rubbish ,
    i know of at least 3 family's that are living in what could only be described as flea pits who have been waiting YEARS to be re homed , yet this woman feels she is entitled to waste space and time over her want of more space ???
    she wants a bigger house ??? SO DO I - but im not putting my hand out and stamping my feet

    she has water , electricity , heating , walls and a roof - compared to some in this banana republic she is on the pigs back

    The issue with ADHD is that there is no brain scan/blood test or whatever. It's is diagnosed on the word of the parent and possibly the school, by filling in a form called the Connors rating scale.I know a number of genuine cases, likened by one mam as "Tigger on speed."You'd need to see the same children in action, ants in the pants and going non-stop, no question at all that they are not genuine.

    I do know a friend in another school was put under intense pressure to put a number of children from the same extended family forward to be diagnosed with ADHD as one mother found out about the DCA ( domicillary care allowance.)

    I don't think anyone's said anything like that.
    I've just seen some posters quite reasonably suggesting that some of the hatred expressed in quite disgusting terms from people who don't know her is a bit unseemly, and a poor way of debating.
    Though unfortunately, such a level of "discussion" is all-too common around here lately.
