    Off to the social welfare office you go so and dont forget to register as homeless too. You'll be on the pigs back in no time. A real winner.

    Ah you won't get much support on here....seems to be a lot of scroungers around
    For what it's worth, agree with you. It's not people who need help from time to time it's the put nothing in ever, get everything free forever brigade that books my blood.
    Anyways another scrounger should be along any second with a scarcastic remark to try to quieten your valid point.....

    Cheap rent.
    Free money.
    Subsidised healthcare.

    They don't..... Working is not seen as bettering yourself, and most will just follow in parents footsteps. Generational scrounging, it's alive and thriving.

    That’s the bit I don’t get.

    Plus I thought if you present as homeless you can’t jump the q for a social house?!!

    More lies form the media.

    How much can someone on welfare pay for a house?
    They'll probably pay for themselves in forty odd years anyway with inflation if they're just recovering the building cost.

    Its not though, most of these poxbottles will never get to step foot out of Ireland. I cant imagine not having a couple of holidays a year or having money there to do whatever with.Despite what you may think, the free house, dole life is no life at all its a sorry existence. I wouldnt swap places.

    Most of the working class don’t have there couple of holidays a year or surplus money sitting around.

    Most are living week to week paying thousands a month to rent and working 40+ hours a week.

    I doubt they cover the interest on the cost to build

    We do need social houses. There are people who genuinely are living in hotels and on the street.

    The 1 annoying thing about it is, people working in Dublin (I'm sure other cities are similar) end up having to move 50+ km away from where they work because they can't afford to compete with their own tax money.

    If someone is in need of social housing and isn't working, then they don't need to be inside the M50 or even Dublin. The person contributing to the social housing ends up with a 3 hour commute each day. That's just plain wrong.

    Or, put more industry in rural areas.

    Grew up in what was a council house in Dublin, parents bought it before having me though. Thing ya with council estates is anti social behaviour is higher than that of private estates. There have been objections from private estates where the council have tried to buy up houses on the market. But yes in the majority it seems those playing the system to the max are better off than those who work.

    So the begrudgery in this thread is actually people kicking themselves that they're not clever/capable/crafty enough to "play the system to the max", and therefore have less quality of life than those on benefits?

    Well, that's a lie.

    If you are talking of boards.ie of 2001, you may have a point, but boards has and is being taken over by a right wing mentality.

    Most contentious threads will have 2/3 people defending a liberal viewpoint, while the majority of the rest will be attacking it.

    You may say that is representative of Irish Society, but that is blatantly untrue. Look at the boards exit poll of the recent presidential election. https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057923419

    Boards has changed from its nice, socially conscious internet forum, to something much worse. But it is a window into how a minority think.

    Sadly for some that could be described as the case yes. My eyes were only really opened to it all when it was published what ms cash can/is taking in from the state. It really is a lifestyle choice for some

    You are literally giving out that the thread isn't an echo chamber.
