BentLid: I`ll never end up on the dole, I`m resourceful and will find paid employment anywhere, I`ll turn my hand to anything, I would scrub dirty toilets if I was getting paid for it, unlike some irish I wouldnt be too proud to take a menial job like that

One of the worst things about the celtic tiger was the fact that a huge level of job snobbery existed amongst a lot of Irish people who were too stuck up their arses anout working in certain jobs, I'm glad to see that this snobbery is gradually been eroded, mind you it still exists amongst a significant minority who would refuse to work in Lidl or work in a fast food restaurant.
Ken35: The country needs more people like yourself with such a healthy attitude to life and you aare prepared to be flexible and learn new skills, that waster you mentioned who has never worked should have his welfare frozen, he probably gets his rent paid for by the state if he's in private accomadtion.

Fair play to you for fighting your corner and making sure you got your rent paid for, you really have to fight your corner in this world, €1400 a month in rent allowance in Co Wexford, how many kids did they have, I know the travellers like to breed kids like confetti at a wedding

I know of a single mother who lives in a three bedroom house who gets rent allowance, she pays 30 euro a week and the rent allowance covers the rest, single mothers really have it hard

he gets told fair play but if it was a single mother youd be saying shes screwing the system?
Ken35: Not if she's worked all her life while bringing up a kid at the same time and then lost her job.
It's a good job you don't decide who gets allowances for this country. People have different circumstances. When a man leaves the wife and kids behind to fend for themselves, it's not like they can afford childcare to go out to this full-time job you speak of (if such things even exist a the moment). Relatives aren't always an option but if people like you were in power, either the kids would get taken off them or they'd get no money. VERY compassionate!
BentLid: Yet she lives comfortably with her 2 children, kids are always well dressed and looked after and she still has money for cigarettes and clubbing at the weekend, If he income was that low she would be struggling but shes comfortable living off the tax payer
mayb she gets maintenance .I can say as a single mom i certainly wouldnt be out clubbing every weekend nor once a month think that case could be a one off but still gives you the balls to fire at every other single mother

The truth hurts for some people, I wonder she she have a huge TV and would probably spend like crazy for her kids holy communion or confirmation.

I do believe in a welfare state for people who have lost their jobs but I don't believe welfare should be a form of permanent addiction, America before the mid 90's used to have huge problems with getting single parents back to work but then quite a bit of tough love legislation was brought in in 1996 and before the recssion in 2007 over 65% of single parents were in full time employment. There's far too much of a bleeding heart do gooder mentality in this country and sometime tough love is whats required.

yeah shes getting lone parents allowance and the father of her children is giving her money every week on the sly
