Just like a nurse or doctor or teacher or social worker who gets paid their salary, despite their employer not having enough money to house homeless people?
There's actually nothing incorrect in the article. Nowhere does it say that is what Mrs Cash actually receives (which seems to be your main issue 'but aha, she doesn't actually get heat allowance because she's in a B&B, therefore this entire thread is based on a false premise') - the heading is 'Single mother with seven children in Dublin (5 in school)'. Posters appear to think this is too much (equating to a salary of 90K+), particularly when you compare to, say a working family on 50K with 3 children.Im not refusing anything. Merely pointing out the anomalies in the article and the misleading detail.
If you can accept that the detail is inaccurate and misleading then perhaps we can discuss what it is that she likely receives.
If you cannot accept the inaccuracies and still want to persist with the headline then there is not point in carrying on.
Finally I’ve worked it out...Big Short and Margaret Cash are the same person...and I thought that BS was the clue!

There's a lot that's wrong in the article. e.g.
Neither 85% nor 100% of €198 amounts to €6.88.
The €11,760 annual Child benefit payment Ms. Cash receives is the same as if she were the CEO of a large multi-national with 7 children.
If she and her partner were together and between them they earned the average industrial wage, they'd still be entitled to certain allowances from the State.
Would anyone care to do the sums to calculate her net draw from the State over and above that situation?
