gangs of kids, from single mother homes = trouble.
Generous welfare for single mothers, no-fault divorce, = a society of Single mothers.
thank you SF, Lab, PBP, FF, FG for destroying the fabric of irish society.

I was questioned by a friend when i said Ireland has a generous welfare system , As a dole head ,he though it was scabby and rather than go there , I checked out social welfare payments in other countries. Estonia 4.01 per day ..others with €300 per month .Most were conditional on your stamps but good ol Ireland is really like manna from the bank . If you want to curtail Immigration perhaps bring in welfare reforms

Manna for everyone.. apart from those paying for it
I've been working and paying tax since I was 16.. For a period after the recent bank crash I was in and out of work and had young children, a mortgage and bills a go go..
I got a swift lesson in the alleged generosity of our 'welfare' system..
There is nothing, I mean nothing.. for taxpayers no help with a mortgage, no medical card until 12 months and a means test had passed, a tiny and rapidly diminishing allowance as they term it.. Endless Kafka era forms and interviews.. No practical help... Just leaflets and platitudes..
If we hadn't a mortgage protection policy, which slowly and reluctantly paid out, some savings and help from extended family there's a good chance we'd be homeless.
It changed my view of Ireland.

Dole heads should get €50 a week and €50 in food stamps and people who are born physically or mentally handicapped €75 and €150 in stamps and all depending on living here all your life

It is pretty grim .
I remember once claiming the dole between jobs and I signed on and was given €200+ . two weeks later I was assessed, my wife works part time and I was told i was entitled to €5 or something ridiclous .
I have come across people who have their rent supplemented, handouts left right and center...
Its a joke

what proportion of those who grew up in Balbriggan were fed by the Taxpayer ? in 1980 ? and what proportion today ?
The lad saying positively that housing is cheap there compared to Skerries does not seem to have joined the dots that housing is cheap for a reason!!
You are absoloutley right when i was in the same boat after husband lost his job i went to local social welfare i was asked what did i need i said money for kids starting school for books etc she said if i want money to sell my house. So basically become homeless. I left with nothing while ones smelling of drink were coming out with cheques in hand. This country wants middle class workers to pay for everything and get nothing back,
