Undercut!!! ( Locked) (111)

There were a couple in Co Clare with 6 kids who were able to claim up to €45k per year, they got themelves about the papers and they were vilified by the locals, the father hadn't worked since 2004, here's the article.



If they were living in Dublin they probably would have hit €50k per year as rent allowance is far higher in Dublin than in Clare.

Okay on child benefit its a great reason for the permanently poor as well as all the travellers to go around breeding kids like rabbits, child benefit should be limited to 3 children,eg if someone has 5 kids they should get the same level of child benefit as a couple with 3 kids, if you can't afford to have kids don't have them or limit the number of kids to what you can afford.

someone coined the phrase, 'money is the root of all evil'

have to say, it's quite hard to disagree with

waht rules like !!! enlighten me im only new !!

Yes it is, but it makes living in poverty very comfortable

All correct, how else could they afford 10 plate vans and caravans !

Children over the age of 18, still living at home, have the right to make social welfare claims in their own right .. they could receive 100 euros a week. Do housing assessments regularly and this would not be an unusual scenario?
Also, many non irish housing applicants also have relatives living with them, brothers, sisters, parents ... each can make a separate and individual claim for social welfare and could receive 196.00 weekly? This is only dependant on having resided in the same area or in Ireland for over 12 months .. the habitual residency condition .. on top of that, they could also claim supplementary welfare allowance (rental subsidy) which would pay the majority of the rent due on a private rented property???



And so could any Irish person ... this is not limited to non Irish nationals .....

not meant as a criticsm .. this is the reality

74% ???Havent heard anyone complaining about that in the recession even though the situation was the same before the recession..seems people are quite happy to turn a blind eye to one thing but are up in arms over another

Posting rules .. look at the end of the page ... No's 2, 4 and 6???

Only just bringing to your notice ... could get banned for that??

This was in the 2002 census at a time when there were plenty of jobs available, sorry 73% amongst male travellers and 64% with female travellers. Shocking and it shows that the majority of travellers even when the ecoonmy was booming were workshy, lazy layabouts.

haha rules are made to be broken .... i cud get banned aww wow
