I agree. But I shouldn’t be paying for those people. These toe rags are obviously not the people we want having kids to pay for future generations. The cost to the state over a life time of one of these sprogs must be collossal. Cost of maternity hospital. Free everything. The only thing they graduate onto is a career in welfare , as encouraged by our government. How much then do those involved in crime, so the legal system, I.e us ?

I don’t owe these people a work free living and either do you !

Oh I agree on both counts. I'd drive them and their ilk to the nearest ferry and march them onto it.

The practicalities are that for the vast majority of us living in the industrialised, consumerist and debt heavy west having large families is almost impossible now. Households need two incomes for rents/debts/mortgages and the expense of living in 21st century suburbia. Never mind the costs of childcare and raising even one or two kids. About the only way to go old style Ireland with large families is be wealthy, or be subsidised. She and those like her are mostly the latter. More than mostly. And they're being subsidised by the same two income couples keeping a pack of wolves from the door. They don't need another wolf showing up in the form of non contributing imports from elsewhere.

In many ways it's not even financial. I've known many people on low incomes or retired or on disability who give back a lot to the community. Entitled tax vampires, especially those with criminal issues are nothing like them. We already have enough of our own, we need to stop importing more.

She is a Roma Gypsy originally from Romania. She came to Ireland before Romania joined the EU, so most likely she got asylum status on the basis of alleged discrimination she experienced in Romania, which is complete BS. The real reason was free housing and benefits.

As Romania is now in the EU and has had to sign all sorts of human rights and anti discrimination laws - can we not send her and her family back? Isn't asylum supposed to be until it's safe for you to go home?????

Well somewhat tongue in cheek, but judging by stats on uptake of antidepressants and studies looking at "happiness" in different groups and age ranges, childless women of 40 rank very high up there. In the US of A one in four women are on antidepressants and anti anxiety meds with the early middle age demographic being the highest. That's before the uptake of women corporate types freezing their eggs. Modern life doesn't do any of us any favours as far as mental health environments go and as is often usual women are hit hardest as a gender.

I don't know if people in Ireland realise the amount of Roma Gypies arriving into the country. In a town near to me, there is a substantial increase of Roma in the town, and it's not seasonal. They have been given houses by the government/council all over the town. One family was moved into a detached house located in the town's best area. The 1/2 acre with the house is now like a used-car dealership with the amount of cars parked all over the place. On the other side of town, people who have lived on one particular street for generations now cannot park their cars outside their houses because of the car part thefts by the Romas living on that street.

Based on what has been experienced in other parts of Europe, issues with Roma Gypsy gangs in Ireland will make the feuds and criminality by our own indigenous ethnic group look like child's play. But why wouldn't they want to come here? The Social Welfare benefits alone is a massive enticement. Then you have the billions of euros currently being spent on free housing, with priority given to those who arrive on our shores with families. And then we have our laughable criminal justice system, or maybe we should call it our criminal injustice system (for crime victims).

I remember going to a removal in the town last year and there was a very large crowd waiting to get into the funeral home. Along passes a car with 4 Roma men in it. After seeing the crowd, they stopped the car right in the middle of the road, and started walking down along the line with their hands out begging for money. They would not leave, so the Gardai were called. It was a disgusting experience to witness.

So yeah, we are adjusting our culture to suit the arrival of Roma Gypies. But for the likes of Varadkar, Coveney and Zappone, this is a good thing as it helps to destroy the "homogeneity" of the country.

She sounds like an absolute delight. And those little rascals.

We need to increase welfare payments for families with +10 kids. Disgrace.

RollieFingers

That is a joke, although I blame the system that allows such manipulation rather than the people playing the system. Some, not all, of the Roma in Ireland are up to no good. I've seen a car pull up where a Roma woman was begging and another woman hopped out and took her spot while she got into the car, was literally a substitution. Absolute scam artists.

That's going from one extreme to another. There's a happy medium.

Women of Ireland who were so content with huge families and being lauded for it that they stopped having said big families immediately once they could control their fertility. Imagine that.

She might be more than content at her large family and her success at raising so many. I'd bet the farm she and women like her are lauded by the men and women of her culture, as they would be in many cultures. That tends to beget contentment.

Of course it does. Men in those cultures take responsibility for their offspring and want to commit to women at an age when they can have children. Men in those countries want to be fathers at an age when they will be able to play football with their children later on. Men in those cultures don't see women as golddiggers if they want to have children and mind them themselves instead of going out to work. These women don't have to choose between childlessness or settling for a man 20 years older whose nappies she will have to change once she has taken the last nappy off the youngest. Men in those cultures don't make fun of working childless women their age while finally deciding to settle down around 45 or 50 with a woman 20 years their junior and walking around like a dog with 2 m!ckeys when she has a child for them.

Large families are generally a side product of high child mortality. As healthcare and economies improve and advance there is often a long transition to smaller families.

Family size had already started to decline in Ireland before contraception became widely available.

Indeed, even in poorer countries today there is access to contraception, yet family size is still large. This would point to other societal and economic issues that lead to large families and not just access to contraception as the main driver.

It's like this. A certain cohort of men on Boards lose no opportunity to bash women of a certain age who are single and have no children without looking into the mirror and seeing how they or their contemporaries might have inadvertently contributed to the situation.

Yes, a nerve has been hit. In the late 80s when I was in my 20s there weren't many single men available due to emigration. Divorce had not been legalised so there weren't many older men available either. I spend time in an abusive relationship. I also spent too much time in relationships waiting for men to decide if they wanted to settle down, have children etc. It didn't happen.

Looking back perhaps I should have found myself a *sperm donor* and had a child on my own. There were plenty of contenders if I wanted to take that route. If I did take that route I might not be pilloried by men who like to make fun of older single childless women.

Then again I have always had standards and wouldn't want to have a child by a man who didn't want to be a willing participant in the process. And more importantly, having a child with a man who either didn't want a child with me or as a result of a one-night-stand.

Many other older single childless women are that way for exactly the same reason as me. We put the welfare of the possible child first rather than having a child for the sake of not being pitied or for other selfish reasons.

100% correct. For every childless cat lady there is a feckless man child. But what is the cause of this state of affairs?

Its because of this nonsense that I support Irexit 100%. People say Ireland would be worse off outiside the EU but when you have these people flooding into Ireland they will collapse our welfare system.

It helps to understand why free movement exists. In a single market without free movement, you'd find that all low skill jobs would move to the cheapest economies. Free movement addresses this by allowing cheaper labour to move easily. It means that there are still some assembly jobs here in Ireland, fruit pickers in England etc.

Barriers to movement would distort the market leasing to less efficient operation and higher prices.

Children's allowance should be replaced by an equivalent tax credit. I shouldn't make financial sense for the state to replace fathers.
