You'd assume they work and pay their way seeing as they're annoyed by the thread subjects so why shouldn't they be down the local if they want to be? Idiotic argument.

Do you happen to know if any of these people are currently in full time employment? Council housing is not allocated to those solely in receipt of social welfare payments. Many working people who earn low salaries also qualify.

I'm not sure about what grants for upgrades are available for tenants living in council owned properties. The council is responsible for the overall maintenance of the dwelling. The tenant pays a rent to the local authority and must also source their own furniture and kitchen appliances. This must be difficult for people whose sole source of income is a welfare payment. Therei is no such thing as a free house.

40k is considered a good wage surely?

OP you know that on those wages you also qualify for council housing ?

Hmmmmmmm Radio silence from the OP. The council folk must have invited him over to their party for a free drink.

end of the road

some people who are not in council houses can claim grants to carry out work on their houses if they meet the relevant criteria that applies to claiming. the only issue i see here is why people in council houses are having to claim a grant to do up someone else's house. the council, as the owner, as the landlord, should be doing the work, as by law from what i understand, a landlord is responsible for the upkeep of the property. people need to get over this obsession of treating private rentals, council housing, and mortgages as all the same as they are very different markets. while they may have some similarities, they do have a number of differences that can only apply to those markets.

Hi OP

Why are these people talking about getting grants to make improvements to houses they don't own?

What grant are they referring to? Local authority tenants can avail of a home improvement loan if they are in the process of buying a house and will return the council house to the local authority. Said improvements are not made to the council house, but the new property. All other LA loans are for owner-occupiers and all LA grants are for owner-occupiers. No idea what kinds of grants your fellow patrons are talking about.

Why would a local authority give a grant to a local authority tenant to make improvements to a property the local authority owns? Maybe you could ask them for us? I would genuinely love to know.

Were we especially bored of a Wednesday evening, OP?

Hence why the OP makes no sense and smacks of contrivance.

Quit your job and go on the dole if you think it's so great, good lad

I am always amazed how the people who start these threads seem to know absolutely everything about the people they complain about from their employment status to how much they get in benefits. Amazing.

And absolutely nothing about how social welfare in Ireland actually operates.

Every time you buy a new house you worked for you have to pay for a layabouts one too.

I’ve been saying it for years. Hundreds of thousands struggling , big hit to their standard of living to pay for the legions of wasters in this country. Free rent , medical card , free few hundred a week etc ... go watch skint Britain to see how their “welfare state” is run. Then you have that spineless snake varadkar jacking up welfare the last few budgets, to the tune of more euro than a worker on 30 odd thousand received in a usc cut. At a time of full employment as fg keep telling us ...

This is a strictly Irish attitude, They don’t adopt in Germany or uk. They will cut you off from welfare , I don’t believe you have a right to keep robbing people blind , either do governments in many countries ...

Yeah that's how it is it's the welfare state, I also pay for doctors and schools though I don't use either, I'm happy to say I'm not so self centred that only think about myself

You have to own the house to qualify for energy efficiency grants.

Also, you should give up the smoking. I don't want my taxes to be spent on looking after someone who chose to smoke. You MONSTER!

I get a grant from Dublin city council for breaking red lights as well. Works out about €5 per light, but you have to break loads to make it worth while

Poor thread curation by OP.
2 hours later, he's either píssed in the pub and too drunk to type. Or his head exploded with the rage.


Anyway, things have picked up on the cycling front.
