Child Item

"Single Mothers" of Ireland and their widespread social welfare fraud

Train Dragon

Can anyone tell me how it's so acceptable in this country for mothers to collect thousands of euros a year when they're still living with their partners so openly? It's theft and they seem to have absolutely no shame about it.

When, at the same time, kids with Downs Syndrome are being turned down for medical cards?

Is it as common in other countries like the UK etc?

It's more prevalent in so called working class areas tbh.

And social protection turn a blind eye to it in certain areas. If you are in a middle class area though, Celbridge or Enfield or sandy ford you will have the book thrown at you.

Why do they call them working class areas when unemployment is so high?

Its the second most reported case of welfare fraud.

Up to june of this year 40 million was saved detecting fraud

Single mothers are allowed have relationships you know. Just not live with their partners. Those that do are not single mothers defrauding the system, it's a couple defrauding the system.

I presume you've missed the news that every child who receives dca will now get a medical card?

I know of a few alright that aren't living with their partners, but partners are completely involved and taking care of the child. For most part, it's mother living with parents, father living with parents, child living with mother and father involved.

What are you on about? They get dole like anybody else, with the exception that they're not expected to be out actively seeking a job. ie, they're doing a job already, childminding their own child who has only one parent.
