Anyway. It's tax payers money, which she is one of them.

Maybe. Or maybe she was given a little dip into the Northern Bank bag, to save the Party's blushes.

I don't particularly care.

unlike most TD's she's rectifying it. other TD's could take a leaf from her book.

Will she also pay the court costs incurred in getting a judgment for 4 years of rent arrears?

She will be worse off for sure becoming a td financially , she’ll have give up this free house as well !

She’ll be scrutinised on all her other benefits Surely she’ll be cut down to child allowance only !

I presume her hard working husband will have to give up his job to mind the kids while she makes important decisions for the working people of Ireland !

Omg it’s more than disgusting , but it was all the non working community and few die Hards that voted for this ! I believe there will be serious kick back next election and sf will be obliterated in co clare over this !

Plenty of space in 2 primary schools in the town of Kilrush. No one has ever been turned away from either for lack of places.

Who will clare choose instead?

The lad who was magically able to vote when he wasn't there?

The one who showed up to less than 50% of committee meetings while we're in the middle of the worst housing crisis?

Did I hear today we have the highest amount of 25-29yo living at home with mammy in europe?

That takes some doing *clap clap* FG.

Its all fake news

We should be discussing the pressing issues - house, health and homelessness

There’s not one bit of it fake news , she has 5 kids doesn’t pay rent , and the news has failed to mention wrecked the last house and this one has been destroyed as well !
How can u address house health and homelessness when u have abuse of the system like this ! This is the same as insurance scams there taking money that’s needed for people that deserve it !

Claiming not being able to work but we can bring more children into the world , but can’t support the ones we have ! Where is the fairness there for us the state and more important the children !
They should be taken up for cruelty and wrecklessness - how dare anyone bring a flock of children into this world and not able to support themselves much less more lives !
How dare they , criminal is what it is !

A very important thing happened last week.

Something that's never happened in my lifetime or yours.

Could end up to be something for the better. Or could be a right bloody balls up.

And clowns are sitting around getting outraged by a woman falling behind in her rent.

A guy in a pub

A guy in a fcking tri-color

and some woman who went on holidays.

I can't give you a straighter answer than that.

"falling behind on her rent" hilarious

i think if SF had put Margaret cash as a candidate she would have got elected (even though her welfare payments and benefits might not have made it worth her while) fair play to the welfare society getting out to vote they deserve to be rewarded while the tax payers who have mortgages and young families just suck it up any future promotion will lightly be 57% tax bracket.

It wasn't the welfare society that voted her in.
SF won almost every age bracket. What that makes you think of Ireland as a country and its attitude towards politics is another thing

All of the things you mention arose under an FG Government and have their roots in predominantly FF coalition governments.

If FFG want working people's votes they should actually represent their interests rather than screwing them and relying on the threat that the left might be even worse for rewarding scroungers at working people's expense.

what about the fact that a lot of people in Ireland have had pretty hard lives, born into absolutely futile situations? people who genuinely can not "work their way to the top"...

your ego and pride makes statements such as "i worked my way to where i am"... good for you - you are where YOU want to be - it's not what others would consider where they want to be in life.

and, you are "poor" to a lot of other people in the world

You can work hard to improve your situation even if you don't make it to the top.

I always found it strange to meet people, with little qualifications or experience, who considered themselves above certain jobs necessary to get them a foot on the ladder. Sit on their arses on the dole for years then moan that they can't go straight in and get a job as a manager because everyone else has connections or wealth.
They'd sneer the person who took the menial job to get onto the ladder and in 10 years be moaning that that person had :pull" and that is how they are now a manager instead on being on the dole like them

trixiebust

I don't use this site v often anymore, now I remember why. People still on about the SF & the scrounger clichés.

I remember after the last election when FG/FF eventually got hitched up, a new word was invented from presumably some PR firm "new politics".

It was new alright but not in a good way. Guess a lot of those people who 'dont get up in the morning' finally decided to do & use their vote.
I know I did.
Must admit though, I voted in the late evening

I am trying to understand why you have posted dozens of posts on a thread about a lady whose party you don’t support and didn’t vote for. Can you not give a straight answer to a simple question? You have probably made more posts that all others combined, which is keeping the thread alive.

If you have a problem with a post or poster report it and leave it to the mods to look at

Now keep on topic and do not discuss other posters and whatever their motivations may be

myshirt

I'm living in Dublin but from Limerick and always when my neighbours and colleagues ask I tell them it's a grand place apart from our two dodgy suburbs: Clare and Tipperary.

Never more was that true than now.

I am beyond embarrassed Clare elected this lady.

I'm equally as embarrassed that Clare is so impacted that this is what it has come to: desperation. A lot of Clare and Tipperary people depended on work in Limerick, and still do, but some had jobs locally in Ennis, Nenagh, etc and while they are a proud people the whole place is falling to **** now compared to urban hubs. You have young people chronically unemployed or underemployed or misemployed in their formative years and it's starting to filter through now, and in the format of this fxcking clown of a TD.

Clareman

I think that the people of Clare didn't vote for this lady, they voted for the party, there was absolutely no information available about her before the election because of the arogance of every other candidate, this lady got 385 votes in the local elections in 2019 (source), that's over 23 times LESS votes than she got in the General election.

In my opinion, this person should not have been elected but I did my bit by not voting for her, others voted her in as a protest vote and a vote for SF.

They did vote for her.

They might not have bothered to do their research but they did tick her name on the ballot.
