Limerick mum and five children told ‘go to hostel’

Tell that to all the bleeding heart liberals who flat out deny that it's a problem here and that there aren't a lot of people playing the system. There should be a 3 year cap on how long any able bodied healthy person can claim Rent Allowance and it should start to be reduced by a third for each year that people are receiving it.

The problem is people with young kids. An entry level job won't pay as much as childcare costs. And you can't kick people with kids out onto the street. Neither can we set up workhouses or laundries.

Our society is thankfully better than that.

perhaps people like this should be made contribute more - providing free childcare to local mums to work off her debt to society.

That's a separate issue and not just for that woman. When i first heard how much childcare costs I was shocked. It's stopping a large number of parents from returning to work.
A lot of EU countries have heavily subsidised childcare because it does help the economy in the long run.

And most of her kids are of school going age leaving plenty of scope for part time employment.

She's getting more p.a. than I do after tax and I still have to pay 7.5k/year on rent.

Where did I go wrong in life?!?

Totally agree. Bad week here at work for me. Body clock is sure it must be Saturday by now and I can't wait to clock out tonight so I can crash on couch and feel human again. This grind starts at 7 Mon-Fri. I am not on the worst money so no complaints there but such a chunk is taken to pay for her because she is entitled to breed, entitled to a house in a respectable suburb, entitled to God knows what else in her mind.

Now is not really the time I want to be reading those figures on what she gets yearly tax free.:mad:

There is something ethically very rotten about the SW system as it is implemented in Ireland today.

Is there any meaningful mechanism by which the state can pursue upkeep of the kids with their father or fathers? It wasn't me and my fellow taxpayers who sired them. The only ride we got out of it was one up the rear from her and her kind. As if the bankers and their jollies weren't enough.

€80,000 3 Lissanalta Close, Dooradoyle - http://www.limerickleader.ie/news/business/business-news/7-5m-in-houses-sold-in-limerick-last-month-1-6174367

Corpo should have bought her this one - false economy paying her 675pm rent allowance - or perhaps she could have saved up the price of this house from her E9000pa children allowance.

doesn't look like an apartment

337 a week for lone parent's allowance = 1348 per month
Children's Allowance = 650 per month
Rent Allowance = 675 per month?

Total of €2673 per month. Before heating allowance/medical cards/maintenance. Hard to feel sympathy for her.

Yeah because it's so much better to continue a scheme that rewards multiple pregnancies and encourages women not to go out to work to provide for their children.:rolleyes: This is the kind of ****e that should have been tackled years ago. Nobody on benefit should be able to bring in the same amount or more money per year than someone who works. It's shocking and there really needs to be major changes to the system.

Yeah, how about a legislation change that puts a stop to the automatic rewarding of breeding. A take care of your own kids or don't have them, lest they end up in care until you can provide for them.

There's a woman with two kids where I'm from who's complaining she's homeless, and the council want to put her into a hostel. She's having none of it, so is saying she's living in a trailer on the side of the road. One of her kids is sick but the smack of self entitlement off the posts.

She is constantly online posting about how hard done by she is, how the council have no hearts, how she wants a house for her kids and wants it before Christmas. She's also outraged at the idea of paying rent from her dole.

Her partner is a junkie, so doubt he is much help to her financially. Why do people who have never ever worked have such a self entitlement? If I didn't work I couldn't afford nice things, a nice home ect. It's pretty simple.

I don't get the facebook thing.
What, the council go around putting up Simpsons theme parks in people's back yards???
WTF??????????

The system serves its purpose as it is meant to otherwise you might be whinging abut the billions being stowed away by the upper echelons.. best stick to the important stuff like her scrounging 30 grand a year to house and feed a family of 6!

Absolutely horrible woman, welfare should be capped at one child max for unmarried women.

Why not for married women?!

It should be a legal requirement for the fathers name to be on the birth cert and money should be taken from wages/social welfare also children's allowance should be capped after two kids.

Child benefit for 5 = €675 pm

Rent supplement maximum of €600 pm

Free medical cards and probably has a travel pass

She basically gets rewarded for pumping out kids

Are you saying it was male rape?

If not, the males that impregnate these women need to take financial responsibility for the children they conceive. If Revenue can deduct the property tax at source, they can deduct child maintenance.

Why should a man pay for a woman conceiving? Has she no mind of her own? Is a man supposed to be fleeced for the rest of his life if some woman decides she wants his progeny against his will? Are you mad?!
