I know a couple of "single" mothers claiming Lone Parents (or whatever its called now), Back to School Allowance etc, and they're living with the kids fathers. They are better off financially than OH and me.

Yes, this is rampant.

I heard the guy who did the show being interviewed on highland radio and he said he paid some of the people money to talk.

So..He encouraged them to "fiddle the system" in order to make a programme condemning them for fiddling the system?

I hope the presenter watched it, I couldn't watch anymore after 5 mins and even that was too much of the crap.

TV3 is BIN TV.

This is Ireland, no doubt a genuine person rightfully due welfare will have to jump through a load of hoops to get a penny. The ones who can so easily scam the system are the wasters who are a lifetime on the dole. These people seem to be outside the system to the degree that the authorities see them as permanent recipients and do little to check out their claims. These people then take on job for cash and are then laughing all the way to the bank.

That guy wasn`t genuine, as he is the brother of one of the production team. Shame on tv3 for using such a blatant plant.

Care to back that up?
