You get the dole also with RA, right? Don't people pay a few quid towards their rent from their dole money also or should RA cover 100% of the rent?

And she wants a free apartment? Could she not get a job and house share like lots of working people do.

NIMAN

Now she owns everything, she paid the money.

I'm guessing she ain't paid a cent of tax in her life

pc7

Ill show her my yearly tax return and she can see how much tax I already pay (feck off Elizabeth my sympathy for you is now gone!) on a house that runs as a loss. I'm not moaning that's the law, I'm lucky I can stay on top of things, but if I could I'd sell it tomorrow and be done with it.

This woman thinks She has paid the banks ?!!

and if dublin city corpo release all these boarded up flats and offer them the people wont take them because their boarded up for a reason and in need of serious work so any property to be released is months away

The county councils want no part in social housing. Ffs look at how the bin collection was run before. Theyd rather pay the money and let others (landlords) deal with the anti social issues. Ffs cant people see it. Regeneration in Limerick is a disaster as an example. No money...

The thing is as soon as many of these people get a house, and have their "human rights",etc.

We all know they'll start complaining about other things like furniture allowance, schoolbook allowance, and then they'll be ringing up about that.

Dont forget the funeral allowance and communion allowance

NIMAN

She's entitled to all that, leave her alone.

artful_codger

If you build 100,000 houses next year, there'll be 150,000 spongers looking for a free house the following year. Our giveaway Welfare budgets during the boom has now led to infinite demand.

NIMAN

Joe, ya old silver tongue devil

neris

I think people in this country are becoming far to reliant on social welfare payments and exclusions from other payments coz their on allowances

I don't know how they go about fixing it, it really shouldn't be the case that you are worse off working and that is how it feels at times

And yet, homesteading schemes worked in Glasgow of all places. The corpo sold run-down council houses for a nominal sum to young couples, etc and they put sweat equity into them. Totally transformed the areas.
I'm sure there are plenty of people here who'd do the same. No shortage of enthusiasm for a roof or their own over their head - not every claimant is a skanger.

The whole rent allowance/house system in Ireland is fcuked up anyway. Simple fix; employ all the unemployed builders to build council houses, instead of pissing away rent allowance on private property put it in to social housing. I have been on the 'housing list' for 12 years and will probably never get a house, I don't earn enough to qualify for a mortgage, I'm not unemployed so I'm not considered for social housing.

Roger_007

There going to be a lot of sh1te in the post with this bowel screening.........oh yeah, nothing new.

pc7

That will just push up the rent for the working people and then what do they do

Lapin

Have hundreds of millions not been put into Limerick?

That said, it would be better spent having a bigger police force with zero tolerance staying permanently in the problem areas, rounding up gang members and shipping out trouble-making families rather than new buildings/playgrounds and then ignoring crime.

I know! What a shocking notion that a landlord would have to subsidise their own mortgage!! :rolleyes:

NIMAN

baldbear wrote: »

Well technically they are paying part of it.

When I was a reluctant LL, I had to add €100 myself just to make up the mortgage payment, then I was tax'd every year on my rental income.

It was no great investment I can tell you, so I sold up.

Lapin

Very good point re the CWO's.

I had dealings with one recently and I can safely say I've never met a more inhumaine individual in my life.

They're a bunch of heartless jobsworths.

NIMAN

Why would the Gov not employ some long term unemployed builders to finish a few of those nearly finished houses, then rent them out?

I would guess if this was any other country, they wouldn't leave near finished houses lying boarded up when theres a housing crisis in the country.

Some of these people are so arrogant they don't deserve to be able to go out at night.

The attitude of this woman, it really isnt a surprise nobody will give her a job.. could you imagine her bringing that attitude in to your workplace everyday..

I don't agree. They are just people doing a job. I wouldn't like to be confronted every day by the like of some of the contributors on today's show........demanding everything and anything because they feel they are 'entoitlled' to it.:mad:
