Margaret Cash steals €300 worth of clothes from Penneys and aftermath/etc!

    Wonder did cash and the gang head to at Vincent de Paul for their Christmas pack/box.

    Really should bring back vouchers which can only be spent on essential foods etc.

    I stopped supporting SVP Thurles in 2012 when I seen all the Cash types in their newish people carriers getting their vouchers for €80-100 to spend in local stores that year. A young lad from my estate on €100 reduced JSA told me he got only hotcups and out of date homestead beans.

    That day I even witnessed one woman throwing the food hamper which was given to her over the railway bridge on Parnell Street. Reported it to AGS. Iarnród Éireann later had to clean it up that evening.

    Passing through Thurles last week and there was a line of pram pushers and newish SUVs (no more mpv’s?) illegally doubled parked near Scoile Ailbhe and a line of women with prams extending into the former district hospital. It was during the stormy wet weather too. Imagine putting your babys health at risk just for vouchers.

    Later that evening I was checking out in costcutter and seen one of these women trying to buy cat food and alcohol with the voucher. Thankfully I overheard him saying both aren’t covered by the voucher

    Why do you think this is a bad idea?

    Well, I'll start with my own experience. Work and pay tax for 25 years and then find yourself unemployed. You can shove your vouchers. That's just dehumanising. It would have been dehumanising for me in my situation and it would be dehumanising for anyone and make them more likely to segregate.

    I wouldn't be too averse to bonuses being paid in grocery vouchers or the like. I'm relying on welfare at the moment and got the Christmas bonus and it was a big help. But if there was no such thing as a bonus and someone said to me, there's €250 in shopping vouchers that the govt got a good deal on - brilliant.

    I wouldn’t give a cent to svp after the local one helped a local scumbag pay a court fine. And covered a deposit for a family having to rent because they were evicted from their home for defaulting on the mortgage. It was a council house they took out a mortgage on, bought a new car too with mortgage they were given. They lost the house, and went into rented accommodation heavily subsidized and then placed back in their old house which the council bought back as tenants

    In fairness, that case is a bit of an exception and SVP generally do very good. They are the last port of call for a lot of genuine people in real need. You will always have chancers abusing any system.

    Work and pay tax for 25 years, become unemployed = JSB, should be paid in cash and be much higher than JSA.

    JSA also known as "dole", could be paid partly in debit card / vouchers.

    *Translation* Be warned all the hardworking taxpayers of 2019. I'm not going to change me ways, no matter how many times I have to move or how many times my children have to change school. I'm entitled to a forever home and be God I'll get it, if that means I have to hound the media and Gubberment, then that's what I'll do. If I have to have 2, 3 or 4 more children until they take my plight seriously, then that's what I'll do. I don't have a job so I have all day to dedicate to my cause.

    I'll do anything it takes, as long as that involves getting free handouts from the state. I'm interested in bettering myself as long as that doesn't involve education or employment. Outside state benefits, everyone discriminates against me. Poor me. Can someone send thoughts and prayers? *Sob *Sob

    Whilst I agree JSB should be paid at a higher rate than JSA, Partial payment in vouchers would never work. There’s people on JSA whose whole payment could be swallowed up at any given time on unexpected expenses especially the under 25s.

    Besides Jobseeker’s Allowance isn’t the problem. It’s almost impossible for people to layabout on this payment unless they’re approaching retirement/outdated skills/unemployable due to past convictions. People on Jobseekers Allowance are sanctioned if they aren’t actively seeking work or engage with Turas Nua etc.

    OPF/Lone parent payments are the problem. They are not capped nor restricted. A woman who can go out and get pregnant every 6.3 years to qualify for this payment without contributing one cent to the state in her entire life.

    Is it fair that during the recession an 18 year old Margaret cash could’ve got the full basic rate social welfare payment vs let’s say an 18 year old on SWA €100 awaiting let’s say a disability allowance claim

    Drop in to any prison on a Sunday and you'll see "de Vinnies", as they're known, going around handing out cigarettes to any prisoner that spins them a poor me story. Call my cynical but distributing tobacco to inmates would rank very low on the hierarchy of needs for most. Plenty of the prisoners are openly laughing at them and will have a full pouch of tobacco in their back pocket while accepting cigarettes into their hand.

    Yes the kids all seemed to have new outfits

    Then again Margaret never claimed to be poor

    "Ms Cash rejected criticism that she was irresponsible to have so many children when she could not afford to do so. “I love my kids, I wouldn’t change them for the world or for a home. I don’t care what people say.

    “I got some negative responses . It’s hard when you know you haven’t done anything wrong. I’m entitled to live my life, I’m entitled to buy my daughter a communion dress and to go for a few drinks with friends.

    “I never said I was poor. I said I was homeless. I get benefits the same as everyone else. I just haven’t got enough to get a home.

    “I saved hard to get my child that dress. I tried to make people aware of what’s going on in this country,” she added, referring to criticism by some on social media over the cost of her daughter’s First Holy Communion dress.

    For all her bad spelling and idiocy maybe she's more clever than the rest of us after all, I mean kick up a fuss, and eventually you'll get a house, probably in the area you want it in, and others will pay for it.
    For all the stick men have been getting the last couple of years, surely this is an example of toxic femininity, she's using her kids and her poor me mother status to get what she wants, without having to lift a finger. Looking at her facebook, it looks like they're having quite a bountiful christmas, something my parents had to scrimp and save and work their arses off for when I was a kid. She's a convicted criminal who takes everyone else's money. Someone in office needs to say something. It just makes me want to give up on this country altogether.

    Yes, but you cannot try to make them aware of what's going on in the country by going into their homes when they are not there.

    she's no dummy. in an evolutionary sense she's more successful than 99% of the population and that success is made possible by the hard work and tax contributions of those who cannot afford to be as biologically successful as her. it's the very definition of a parasitic lifestyle but if you have no sense of adult responsibility or empathy for others, that's no barrier.

    Bingo.
    The question though, is whether we let them win out in the evolutionary race.
    By sheer volume of offspring alone, they will take over.

    That is, unless we decentivise their dependence on welfare and remove the current requirement of workers being forced to financially support the children of those who do not want to work or contribute to the betterment of society.

    I just saw on Facebook where some travelers bought a miniature pony for their child for Christmas, a ****ing pony!

    They are a drain on society.

    They love the gossip and just love seeing others in misery.

    Is it just because they are so loud that I notice there are usually travellers in A&E?

    Years ago I was in overnight on a trolley because there was no beds available. Two travellers a guy and a girl were admitted because they tried to get away from the police and crashed their car. No sleep for me that night. Then in the morning some traveller women came in and started punching the one that had been admitted. From what I understand it was because they guy she was in the car with was not her boyfriend/husband.

    A+E rooms are inherently chaotic places and travellers are agents of chaos, apart from the fact they go to A+E for everything and anything, their entire extended family show up en masse and block up the place

    As an interesting point about travellers making up noticible portions of A&E on any given day are the number of retired UK pensioners who have moved here in the last few years. One medical person I was talking too was saying that up to a third of regular admissions are of older UK nationals. And we wonder why the health system is on its knees?

    Exaggerate much there? Who said anything about sending anybody back or otherwise btw? It's an observation of something happening at least in some areas here. Is it related to the increase in Irish passports being sought in the UK at the foot of brexit, free medical care here now for the over 70s or is it the fact that elderly people here recieve additional welfare benefits / value for money compared to the UK? "Lol' (sic)
