Itās a tricky one. Def not black and white. She obviously might have got longer out of it but out of her control. I think dropping to bottom of housing list whilst retaining the uncertainty was was deciding factor.
Only she knows the answer to that Iād say. Somehow I doubt it if she wants to go back to college etc. Iām not defending her position. Just saying it is somewhat understandable if her long term goal is to live in social housing for the rest of her life.
I actually met a fella there a few weeks back. Nice lad from the UK. Moved over here with no job to live closer to his Irish girlfriend. Heās living with his granny. Heās getting full jobseekers based on paying his āstampsā in the UK. Also eligible for funded college courses through some Springboard scheme. They will even pay an allowance for his expenses to go to college.
Sure I subsequently had a lovely dinner experience with Kent, Lynette and the others in Mornington. I was exaggerating, it was said in jest, a mere throw-away comment. I really, really like people.
Hang on a second chief. At the moment she is claiming to be homeless. She has a kid. She has or had an offer of fully paid up accommodation for 12 months. Getting her shit together does not mean necessarily gathering a deposit together for a house. It can mean getting somewhere she can put her head down and start to build a life. Head into Dublin this evening and ask any poor cunt living on the streets if heād take a fully paid up pad for 12 months and see how many would say no.
I donāt understand why there are so many people on the thread ignoring this basic point (which she made on the original RTE show), calling her horrible names and saying her child should be taken from her. Itās vile and upsetting.
