Wow,I usually have something to say but I'm actually just shocked, I'd love if we could removed the cover of Facebook and have these people in a town hall and the guards family there and see if they still spout the cowardly sh!te they are peddling there.

Look i understand and am sympathetic to her plite but there has to be a point where you go "ye know what? My kids come first" she's been offered places in the country, nice places,with good schools, she could move her family there and settle and be happy, put their needs first.

She's playing the squeaky wheel gets the oil only she isn't happy with the oil and this is only instilling views in her kids that if you moan and give out enough you'll get what you want

Rapidly becoming the poster girl for the serial unemployed self entitled numbers in this country who feel everyone else owes them a free pass on life. The media are enabling them to come out from under their rocks and feel that their life’s choices should be accepted as mainstream and normal.

She had a string of kids with no plan on how she would care or provide for them, why not follow the father/fathers for their care. But no, they somehow found something louder than her own mouth and stuck her outside the dail to insist she is entitled to more free stuff, and none of that second rate free stuff - she’s entitled to the best of everything.

I can only give you one piece of advice. If you try to refer to Fine Gael as left-wing in Ireland, nobody will take you seriously. They certainly don't refer to themselves as left-wing and you'd be hard pushed to find any that refer to themselves as liberals .

Fine Gael would be center left. you then have the extreme left lunatics like PBP and those. Labour would be left.


to say however we have right wing politics in this country, is bizzare. we dont, we probably never will as we are one of the most politically correct countries in the world now.

But it is happening. Workers are paying more taxes now than they did 10 years ago despite having suffered cuts that have not been reversed.
The upcoming budget will not offer any respite either if the rumours are true.

Some (but not all) of those people who are currently sleeping in doorways on Grafton Street at night did have a roof and four walls to sleep under. Their own behaviour brought them to where they are.

And (in so far as it is true) you are in a position to pass judgement on them for which reason?

There was one well-documented case of someone who ended up on the streets despite inheriting two houses. Simplistic statements like yours don't help.

Seems to me that your own post is rather simplistic - or maybe you feel somehow morally superior to those who sleep in doorways for whatever reasons?


A little empathy for those in poor situations - for whatever reasons - would go a long way.

Empathy for someone who has seven kids and no means of support other than 65k taxpayers money is quite hard to muster, in fairness.

I think when she gets her forever home (thanks Ms Fleming for that phrase) she won't be too concerned about everyone else.

She was very quick to switch the content of here FB page from showing how she was spending tax payers money to the government are doing nothing. I might be wrong but do wonder is she being coached in social media after the publicity stunt.

It certainly is when you lack empathy for starters.
Have you never wondered what it is like to be a woman in a section of society where your life choices are very limited, and you are expected to get married at a very young age and bear children.


Don't come over all high and mighty about this, as this was also the lot of many women from well-off middle class families just a generation or two ago.

So you're not paying for someone else's lifestyle then as some claim here that it cost 50-60k a year. I'm sure you're certainly not paying that much.

Not to mention what you get back from the system.

People are unbelievably arrogant or ill informed if they for a minute think that all the tax you paid is going to pay scroungers.

I'm not denying there are scroungers, I'm just saying it's not what the majority of your taxes are going on so you need to get some perspective.

I am sorry, but there are cases of people who are homeless having been evicted several times for criminal behaviour including damage and assault.

Do I have much sympathy for them? No.

You can only help an alcoholic if they want to help themselves. For quite a few of the homeless, they fall into the same category that you cannot help them unless they take the first few steps.

Between 2 people. And half of what we earn goes to the State. Yes we're comfortable but we work hard for that. And what do we get back? Yet there are people in this country who think that what I give to the State should be given to them while they're contributing nothing.

Just curious what the 65k is based on?

My back-of -the envelope calculation would be that having 7 kids as a single parent generates total social welfare support (including child benefit) of €33,600.

Anyone who's ever had children would be daunted by trying to raise 2 of them on that income, let alone 7!

If you want to get rich, the most foolish thing you can do is be unemployed and have children.

If a couple are working to earn €225k pa between them, and but have over €100k of that taken for them to fund people who don’t work, then they most certainly have every right to complain about how badly it is being spent.

There's a very good reason why most people don't have large families anymore - whether they're on welfare or not. And it has nothing to do with social responsibility, it's because they don't want to live in poverty!

€33,000 might sound fine and dandy, but you keep ignoring the bit about raising seven kids on that income.

Everyone who has young kids gets their GP fees paid, until those children reach the age of six, regardless of household income, so that's not particularly relevant.

I have no interest in or knowledge about Margaret Cash's shoes, tbh.

Only if you accept that €33k is correct - despite it being considerably lower than any estimate made earlier in the thread.

Single parents is 198 plus 31.80 per child.
That’s €21,871 pa on its own.
Jobseekers is €193 - so another €10,036 pa.
Child benefit is €140 per month - another €11,760.

That’s before looking at any other possible “entitlements” that she might be claiming.

You’re already downplaying by a min. €10k how much she’s getting.

Thats €43k a year tax-free, plus the expectation that all housing costs will be paid by the state as well.

No childcare costs either because she doesn’t want have to work to provide that €43k.

No wonder she can afford all the sessions with her buddies.
