    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.

    I wonder why the mother can't take them in until she gets herself sorted with a job.

    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.

    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.

    Thanks for that. Now do you have a solution to this problem that doesn't involve some "fcuk her, I'm alright" comment?

    Don't hate the playa, hate the game. The system is simple to abuse if you want to.

    "Single" mom + kids = Superb career choice.

    No need for college or hard work when the system allows such a lovely alternative.

    Can't we hate both?

    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 no way that's in Ireland last week.
    Blue sky, flat roofed house, trees full of leaves....
    I think that may be a joke?

    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.

    Whoa there!

    Who said those men even wanted her to have those kids?!

    Victim-blaming if ever there was such.

    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.


    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!
