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.

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.
