    Has she paid back the charity? Thanks

    No idea, have you asked her?

    Looks like Violet-Anne has handed back her 8,188.44 Euro rise to the minster of finance.

    And......

    I'll be honest I find her election worrying. For one reason that the biggest party in opposition seem to have such a paucity of options and two that people voted for someone with no history of public service or a positive impact in such numbers to get election (and am aware many have said there is a lack of options).

    I know a few in North Clare who voted for her as a "change vote". An absolute wasted vote. We'd laugh if it was the UK.

    In a time when SF are looking like a party who could govern, candidates like this pushes them back years.

    And before it starts I don't care about what aboutery.

    More relevant than someones opinion on 5G to this particular thread.

    Great to see all the same.

    He might give it to harris to get a bit of PPE so we don't need to go begging Bono for money :)

    Any truth to the rumour that she handed it back in old unusable Northern Bank notes? :P

    Did you never hear the dictum: " be just before you are generous"? Here we go again: anybody but the victim.

    Go on defending the indefensible.

    A bland, threadbare apology is met with a request for clarification by Edwina Radford, who is then treated to a torrent of abuse. The clarification is still in the post, and so is the disassociation from the dirty work i.e. the abuse of Ms. Radford. In effect, "how dare you ask a question of one of our public representatives?" Are these the same people who are shouting about being bullied by other parties? Add to that the deflection via the concern about the virus. SF were not always so concerned about human life. Mr. Trump's favourite word might best describe that kind of apology.

    While other TD's are looking for big hands outs for working from home on massive wages while hundreds of thousands go on to the dole.

    Here we have one handing back her 8k raise.

    Fair play to her.

    Considering you're her #1 cheerleader one would assume you'd know.

    So, basically, you've read all the stupid and awful things she's done, but love her because she gave back some of her wage?

    Don't love her at all.

    Seem like a very decent thing to do. Giving back over 32k euro over the course of 4 years to the public coffers. Seems decent.

    Beats clocking into the dail when you're not there to extract money you didn't work for.

    So off the bat that's a hell of a lot of better than many other TD's

    Fair play to her.

    You mean because her party told her to do so? Fair play indeed, that's a good 6 months work done. You can be sure she's not doing this out of the good of her heart.

    I'm sure reinvesting it in a housing charity, similar to the one she bankrupt, would be a more worthwhile investment than handing it back to the exchequer.

    I think it was FG pulling funding that caused problems rather than a single tenant.

    Considering who's in charge of the exchequer at the moment.

    You're probably right :)

    or she could have bought PPE so we wouldn't need Dublin pubs to be buying it or beggging bono for money :)

    I'm not sure there's much point in arguing with a poster who uses deflection and whataboutery as their go to lines.

    It's clear that this woman should not have been elected as a TD. It's clear she was elected as a protest vote. I'm not saying that about all elected from SF, but it is the case here as far as I'm concerned.

    Nothing whataboutery about it.

    She's giving 32k euro of her wages back to the public coffers.

    Fair play to her.

    I think all SF are doing so. Socialist parties give it to the party. Others just take it. Most of it will go back in income taxes anyway.

    People actually believed that too when Dessie Ellis and Sandra McClellan signed up for it.

    You can easily find out if any SF TD didn't do it.

    I see claims about this lady ‘handing back’ a pay rise being bandied about here.

    Is there any proof of this or any mention on line?

    Note: Violet-Anne saying it wouldn’t be considered ‘proof’ as she would be considered a ‘spoofer’, given her history.

    Realistically, she isn’t returning much, due to income tax. It’s a good PR stunt alright.

    It's 32k euro over 4 years.

    That's a fair chunk of bobs.

    Better than fleecing us for expenses for days not in the dail like some other TD's

    Great to see.

    Badly needed considering what has come to light on her so far :D

    But to anyone handing back money, fair play. Whatever party you align with.

    IF she stays a TD for 4 years! By the way, do you have a link to that claim?
