    We've lately being popping out the sprogs but who would have known they hold such benefit.
    Once you've 2 kids the government demand you've about €600 a week to live on, once you've 3 kids like me then you deserve €700 & so on.
    http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/social_welfare_payments/social_welfare_payments_to_families_and_children/family_income_supplement.html#l62fd2

    FIS income limits in 2012:
    If you have: And your weekly family income is less than:
    One child €506
    Two children €602
    Three children €703
    Four children €824
    Five children €950
    Six children €1,066
    Seven children €1,202
    Eight children €1,298

    Basically, whatever you're short the government will make up 60% of the difference.
    What a country we live in, god bless you Ireland.
    I'll never leave your shores of generosity.

    I'm shocked by this as I was not aware of this benefit's existence until a local welfare expert informed me last week.
    What an age we live in.

    Hooray for bull****, misleading thread titles!
    no work required

    From your link:
    FIS is a tax-free weekly payment for employees:
    Working 19 or more hours per week (or 38 or more hours per fortnight). You can combine the weekly hours you have worked with your spouse, civil partner, cohabitant's hours to meet this condition.

    Locked.
