    Just to give some more insight in to the way this woman thinks. Before her old post on Facebook were made private she had made a post about the robbery using a digger on Lidl in Tallaght back in March.She was ecstatic on seeing the photos of the takings posted on social media
    Just absolutely loathsome.

    The only interesting part of the story is trying to figure out how you can try rob 300 yoyos worth of stuff from Penneys and think you'll get away with it.

    7 kids, clothes never recovered.

    Great ma she is, apparently

    What I can figure out is how can you actually carry 300 Euro worth of clothing out of Penny's. Did she use a trolley?

    One mother and 2 young kids seated in a buggy go in, mother and 2 kids, now walking, come out.

    The last time I went into Pennys I spent 80 quid. The bag of stuff I got for that amount was MASSIVE.



    How did she manage to carry €321 euros worth?

    Herself and the 6 kids carrying around 40-50 euro each worth?

    Here is is MT forecast for that day in Feb she was nicking the rags ,wonder if it was a factor ?

    Forecasts for Ireland


    ALERT for locally heavy snow and hail showers that could produce poor driving or walking conditions, more likely in higher parts of north and west, but especially around late morning and early afternoon cannot be ruled out elsewhere. Also ADVANCE ALERT for possible strong winds Wednesday night (valid 1900h Wednesday to 0500h Thursday) in all regions as a fast-moving and potentially intensifying low travels across northern counties during the night. Gusts to 120 km/hr are possible with this and there may be late-breaking changes to forecasts as the system is still in a rather early stage of its life cycle (presently about 1015 mbs south of Newfoundland, Canada).

    TODAY will be a very cold day in part due to persistently strong westerly winds at about 70 to 110 km/hr at times, and squally showers of hail, sleet or snow could hit almost anywhere with at least temporary disruptions to travel. There will be brighter intervals but still cold and windy in those, as highs reach only 2 to 6 C. Some of the heavier squalls could produce thunder as well.

    TONIGHT will likely be much the same although there could be more rain showers in the mixture of wintry showers, and winds will continue brisk, west-northwesterly at about 60 to 90 km/hr. Lows of about -1 to +2 C.

Yet you are defending her?! Wtf

    Read the RTE link someone posted-gotta love the way RTE 'skirts' around naming her.

    'Homeless woman'...with an address at...

    So is she homeless or not? The woman couldn't even turn up on time, which just shows arrogance. Who wants to bet she breaks the law before her bond time is up? These types always do.

    The question I keep having (besides the 300 quid maths and division) is how can someone claim to be homeless, yet still have an address?

    Cash said: “I don’t know what the shoplifting has to do with me being homeless, it is my private life."

    I am aware of that,I was pointing out that it was very cold in Feb 2018 and wonder if any coats or scarfs were in the mix of clothes robbed.

    I don't know really the default is she is very wealthy yet feels the need to occasionally nick communion dresses from Pennies cos she is such a terrible mother ,yes let's kill the bitch much easier position to argue.
    She's not very wealthy but she is in receipt of a lot of state benefits and she isn't one bit appreciative of this; nobody said let's kill her - people are just disgusted by her self entitled attitude, and she didn't just rob a few communion dresses.

    Yes. And she'll still be paraded around like a poster girl by various groups and continue to be defended by morons on here.

    That's got to be one of the most tone deaf, ridiculous comments I've ever seen, even coming from her.

    Any homeless group / NGO / charity that makes her a speaker at any event now after this deserves to get media / public backlash, still I doubt this will be the end of her public presence.

    I cant afford to shop in Penneys so I go to charity shops. Ms Cash is better dressed than I am. But I've noticed that there are no children's clothes for sale in charity shops. I don't know where poor people with large families can get second hand clothes these days other than sharing them with friends and neighbours - which we all did when I was growing up or handing them down.I don't think organisations like St Vincent de Paul collect used children's clothes anymore for the needy as I understand that either money or new items are preferable.

    The money she gets is mostly for the children, who have not done anything wrong yet.

    Someone made a point further back in this thread about the children wearing school uniforms in the summer. They are like me when I was a kid - the only clothes I had!

    A cynic might jump to the conclusion that the thinking went long the lines of “if I put de childers in dere yoonifroms, and de peeple lookin’ at de pikchurs think dey has to be at skoole in de mornin’, de peeples will feel even sorrier fer me and I’d be gettin’ even more free stuff quikker”.

    A deeper cynic might go so far as to suppose that Ms. ‘just gimme all the’ Cash didn’t come up with this thought herself, but just thought it was a grand idea altogether when it was suggested to her.

    It was payday for the media in this country when a picture of 'homeless kids in thrir uniforms was posted of them asleep in the garda station.

    For gods sake the liberal crowd in ireland couldnt have asked for better. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Get that poor woman and her equally poor kids a home. How awful it must be to be homeless blah blah blah

    Didnt see any of them rushing to house her or her kids.

    Then when the truth cones out and the media finally discover what type of person she really is do any of them question such a lifestyle. No they bloody dont.

    Child benefit should be stopped after 2nd child. People on welfare shoukd have amount reduced the longer they're on it to encourage them to actually work.

    2 days before the Garda station incident, Ms. Cash was trying to buy some limited-edition running shoes that were selling for €260 on Facebook. In the week before the incident she was looking to buy / bought a flat screen TV, waterford crystal vases, 2 cases of beers, a bridesmaid dress for her daughter, a tanning session and inquiring about a €160K house.

    On Feb 16th, 1 day before the Penneys theft, she was asking for price quotes and availability across multiple posts to some kitchen spraying / re-styling service that charges €150+ to recolour your kitchen cabinets.

    So while I feel for the situation you grew up in, I strongly believe that is not the case here. She does not appear to be poor, she seems to have plenty of money to spend on expensive, unnecessary items but is unwilling to spend that on what would normally be considering necessary expenses such as accommodation, clothing etc.

    :D It's called sarcasm and a response to some peoples thinking that it's a conspiracy that the timing of her court appearance coincides with Casey's comment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    So she robbed over €300 worth of stuff from Penney's the same month she offered €10k cash for a seven seater car.Hmmmm.
    I doubt she'll be used as the face for any campaign again and only right.
    Anyhow,where would a homeless person store so many clothes? Does she have a mobile wardrobe?

    I can’t believe this idiot has not either figured out how to set her Facebook page on private or is she too thick to do so. Last night she shared a video that one of her fellow ethnic minority cohort posted of a bunch of scum running away from the gardaí after jumping out of what must be a stolen car. She seems to not only partake and condone in all sorts of criminality but also celebrates it...pure filth.

    I don't think there's much going on upstairs there to be fair, nor with the entourage judging by some of the comments

    Margaret Elizabeth Cash and all women being attacked on FM 104 being asked why would you have 7 children in a holyJoe Catholic country with no choice for women
    It's a women's choice to have children or not to have children whether she is living with a man or not and that guy asking her how she will get her life back togather bloody fool.No one gets a free house people pay rent to the Council.Ireland is full of Council Estates.I am getting more disgusted by the day.Stop attacking homeless Women and children.


    Women have no value ... they are only to be judged and/or used/abused by men.
    Margaret Cash has more humanity in her nail-clippings than all the twisted hate-filled misogynists and their echoes.


    I am behind u all the way girl need anything I'm just a phone call away ur an inspiration xx

    The real robbers in this country all live in mansions...

    It must be hard to put up with the crap you have to put up with, but your kids will look back in years to come and be proud to know you took a stand and sacrificed your own wellness for a better future and a world where racism and sexism has no place.
    You have lots of allies and are on the right side of history.


    The comments throwing digs are gas,

    big March on the 27th. Garden of Remembrance marching to the GP0 at 1 pm. Don't get smart with me buddy... See you there
    response
    why do you not go and try and learn a skill rather than marching for handouts ?
