Is a council house a lifelong thing?

    Just wondering whay the story is here. Came across two families recently. Both parents working full time. One family sending 3 kids to private school. Both have council houses they got when kids were born. Surely when circumstances change you should have to give up the house?
    One family actually said 'we've put in for a 4 bed house so the kids don't have to share a room'...
    I mean me and my husband are breaking our backs saving to get out of a 2 bed. Not sure why these families aren't obliged to do the same?
    Their jobs are all PAYE by the way so it's not like they're doing nixers.

    This is Ireland, they are for life providing you live in them.

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?
