All Boylan did was ask her "Margaret, can you tell me how the government is robbing you" in response to her shouting that the government was robbing her.

I'd hardly say that's unreasonable.

I wonder how many in her position will die on the streets because winter is coming.

The show needs a complete reformat-just reading what Ms. Cash said, about Claire 'running backstage'... holds some grain of truth, I think. It sounds like there is a certain amount of truth to what she said.
As in, if the show show is, genuinely, getting guests on under false pretenses, I wouldn't be surprised if folks are getting ticked off.

I mean, the fortnite thing...again, was scaremongering. 'Your child is being targeted by paedophiles via fortnite-here are the signs'... for gawds sake, the housing crisis is an immediate risk-even if you're not gonna use Maggie, at least discuss the issue. Don't speculate about 'something' possibly happening, flipping focus on the 'actual' happening.

But, the “homeless” activists don’t want to hear about what’s being done. It doesn’t suit their agenda. Thousands of homeless people are housed every year. They take responsibility for themselves and accept with gratitude what help they get. They are too busy getting on with their lives to waste time being manipulated by vested interests.

It's a pity Boylan couldn't ask Cash about her supposed shoplifting

If Claire Byrne asked harsh questions last night. We'd probably have campaigns for her to be sacked by this evening.

That’s the absolute truth. It’s not worth it.

Could these figures actually be true? If so what the hell are we doing working for less than that?

Dont forget thats a "net" sum (ie after tax).
You'd need to be earning a fair whack more before tax. I'd love to see that number!

No, not true.
HAP is at least 700e understated for a family of that size in Dublin
And she's probably up another 20e per week after yesterday's budget

KrustyUCC

Hmmm not sure what exactly she gets at the moment but I suppose she will benefit from the budget yesterday

€5 increase in max. rate of all weekly payments e.g. pensioners, lone parents, jobseekers, carers, people with disabilities, widows - 1.47 million beneficiaries

€2.20 increase for qualified child dependants up to age 12, in all weekly payments x 7

€25 increase in the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance for each qualifying child x 4

Still whatever she is on the government is 'robbing her'

Crikey.

My bad maths suggest someone working and paying taxes would want to be making €75k+ to give parity with Ms. Cash.

She's well named anyhow.

Just watched the news coverage of the funeral Emma Mhic Mathuna. Now there’s a woman who had every right to be angry, scream and shout and pound the streets in protest over what happened to her. What an absolute lady she was until the very bitter end. She had such grace and integrity about her when you wouldn’t blame her for being anything but, while faced with the most horrendous of circumstances, losing her life and her children.
Contrast her plight and how she conducted herself to the likes of Cash. No comparison. The two don’t even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence but it’s just something that struck me while watching the news.

The vast majority of women just get on with looking after their families to the best of their ability.

You’re right. They shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence.

God Rest Emma and watch over her poor children.

She’s a disgusting disgusting creature. She should be locked up and throw away the key and I don’t mean that circus know as the dochas centre. A proper prison
