What a fcuk up of a family who are here for generations to come and to drain from society and the social.

They will terrorise for years to come too.

It's not true to say she hasn't done a thing. If she hadn't done a thing the children wouldn't be alive.

Come on now, you're saying she hasn't done more than their father to ensure they are at least alive?

They didn't chain the doors shut, they had no hope.

Big difference and shocking that people are comparing the two as they do not compare in any way, shape or form.

They weren't asleep either so really if this is an argument it's a complete fcuk up of one.

It's not a fair point. The fire exits in the Stardust were chained shut. Plus the Stardust victims didn't have the added responsibility of minding children on the night they died. Sickening comparison tbh but I would expect nothing less from the enablers of these people's behaviour.

The Stardust id a ridiculous analogy. The fire wasn't started by the victims for starters. There were no chained doors in Carrickmines.

No need to apologise at all Plumb.

The posters who should be apologising are those who are too busy defending and deflecting on behalf of the lowest scum of the lowest scum.

Very few people will vote for a politician who is trying to increase the number of travellers in their area. That's the reality, irrespective of the party spin.

I wouldn't vote for a politician who had a good word to say about travellers, nevermind try and increase the traveller population in my area

To be fair to the poster they weren't the one to make the comparison first. John Connors made the comparison and some traveller campaigner made it also. It's ridiculous but that poster didn't do it first

None currently. I believe the personal injury specialists would object to it as it would result in a downturn or near collapse of their business.

I wonder has she any tips on how to get car insurance.

I'm driving since 2001, full no claims but as I had a trade policy and going to private even though this policy included private and in my own name I can't get insurance.

'BETTER THAN NOTHING' Mother-of-seven Margaret Cash grateful to have roof over head as family move into apartment – but dreads four Luas trips a day when kids go back to school

The family, who made headlines last week after Margaret's six sons were forced to sleep in a garda station, have moved into a spacious three-bedroom apartment on Parnell Street in Dublin’s north inner city

I can’t be complaining really, because it’s definitely better than nothing, but it’s still not a home forever.

“I have it for a week’s trial and then it’s on a monthly basis after that. There’s loads of room anyway.”

“But it’s not a home forever — who knows how long we could be here and when we have to move again?

I’d rather be in Tallaght, but this will do for now.”

https://www.thesun.ie/news/2998020/margaret-cash-grateful-apartment-luas-trips-school/

Go back to last week then

Homeless mum-of-seven Margaret Cash 'over the moon' with new three-bed house - but says it's not a 'forever home'

However the mum-of-seven has expressed her delight after she was finally allocated a three-bedroom house in her hometown of Tallaght, although she revealed that they haven't yet moved in.

She said: "I am over the moon.

"It's still a type of emergency accommodation but it's a house, a three-bed house which is what I told the council all along I wanted.

"It's still not our forever home but it's a house."

https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/homeless-mum-seven-margaret-cash-13900064

Can't please Margaret at all until she gets her forever home in Tallaght

You are one of our problems, Margaret. You, and others like you, who feel entitled to have numerous kids you can't support, never work a day in your life, disregard the law, and then rant on about how "de gubbermint" isn't handing you everything you want on a silver platter.

The money and the benefits and the free house you want doesn't come from "de gubbermint." They come from the pockets of hard-pressed working taxpayers, many of whom can't afford children or homes of their own, in part because of the "choices" that you, and others like you, are making.

On the eve of the funerals of four young men in Donegal, the Irish Times published an opinion piece on the culture of speeding and youth in Donegal, condemning it in the strongest terms and using the photos of the four dead men. Obviously the cause of this crash hasn't been released.
The cause of the carrickmines fire was released and there was nothing but hand wringing and excuses made for traveller culture by the papers. Why are travellers always absolved from all responsibility but no other group is.

“, a three-bed house which is what I told the council all along I wanted.“

One of the things I struggle to comprehend is how successive taoisigh and ministers for finance either haven't realised, or have simply ignored the fact that eventually we will run out of workers to pay for the non-productive, in the same way the pension schemes ran aground - the main difference being that most people who qualified for a pension actually contributed to it at some stage.

I’ve been reading the thread on and off as it has been a front-pager for months now. Believe it or not, you can read threads without commenting. Usually perennial front-page threads are of a different nature. It’s unusual for a thread on a particular news story to do so. It’s not outlandish to comment on that.

Anyway, are you the arbiter of what passes for a quality post on this thread? What qualifications are needed for that job?

Plumbthedepths wrote: »

The dramatics. ‘Shut down’ and ‘shout down’ have to be the most overused phrases on boards.ie. Some delicate questioning by two users and suddenly we want the thread closed down? I’ve no doubt it will keep rumbling on and I have very little power in getting threads closed nor would it be something I’d bother to seek very often. Another user and I are just wondering what more could be said at this stage. Very mild criticism. Very mild.

I have to say, I often find the deployment of the terms ‘shut down’ and ‘shout down’ to be a sly silencing tactic in itself.

It’s something I haven’t sought as of yet. Note I said “not something I’d” as in “not something I would”. I added ‘very often’ because I can’t say I would never think a thread should be closed (can anyone?). Probably if the subject matter was completely moronic.

I certainly don’t want this thread closed, I’m just amazed it has gone on as long as it has.

And much like I can ignore this thread, so too can people ignore my posts.

I think the thread's longevity is because it presents a microcosm of a number of serious national issues that are rarely presented in such a clear fashion and are ignored, or even silenced, within mainstream media. These issues include:


- An entitlement culture that hijacks the welfare state and prevents it from helping people as it should.
- A grievance culture that hijacks serious national issues for personal gain at the expense of others.
- A media and poverty industry that unquestionably champions criminal scroungers, defames any critics and wilfully avoids any proper scrutiny of the people or issues involved.

- The difficulty of solving serious national issues like housing as long the above is not faced up to.


- A culture of criminality within parts of Irish society that is ignored by the establishment.


The fact that the subject of the thread posts objectionable social media updates of wild variety on a daily basis may be another reason for the thread's longevity but for me at least it's the former.



While it's fair to ask about the thread's longevity you have to be well aware that this is a well-worn tactic of those who wish to shut down debate on any topic. "Oh great another dole/public sector/whatever bashing thread" they intone, rather than engaing on the topic.

Accusing others of attempting to shut down debate (or accusing them of shouting you down) is another well-worn silencing tactic that is, IMO, much more sly. Flies under the radar more and is as much an attempt to quell opposing viewpoints. The reactions to tatranska’s post and mine were OTT and touchy. Ever consider that we genuinely might just be curious about what else there is to discuss on this topic? I mean, there is no way the thread would be closed on the strength of our posts. Why would it? No mod is going to look at our posts and close a long-running thread because of them.

CrankyHaus

Fair enough. I can't speak for others on the thread but I tried to answer your question. I think if you read the thread you'll see that it has broadened into a wide-ranging debate that for example in the last few days has discussed the Carrickmines Fire, the inquest, the subsequent PR actions to spin it in favour of a vested interest (with a national paper batting on that interest's behalf) and the dubious validity of comparisons with the Stardust Tragedy. I think broad-ranging debates are one of the things Boards does well.
