Have a child, get a free house.

Dowl88 · 21-08-2014 02:35PM #1

A load of people I know all have children and are getting the dole and a lovely modern house to live in for free. Before anyone says its not free its feck all a week, like 30 euro. This is outside Dublin.
Most are unskilled and one said she wont go back to work because shes better off on the dole which really peeved me off, she has a car, can go out drinking and goes on holidays. Livin the dream!

Heres myself on 30k in Dublin, getting taxed to pits, paying 600 for a bloomin crappy box room as I cant afford a house or decent apartment.

Somethings not right with our culture!

You need to have a kid OP, they'll get your free house to you in a week or two... :rolleyes:

I doubt there'll be much interest in this topic in AH.

You're right. Absolutely right. Hang on a tic and I'll get me pitchfork.

131spanner · 21-08-2014 02:40PM

People, what a bunch of bástards!

JonEBGud · 21-08-2014 02:42PM

It's not all fun and games for her boyfriend though.
He has to sneak in and out of the house at unsociable hours. . .

Get arrested for disobeying an order from a judge you mean.

You need to find some new friends!

I hear that if you're an immigrant you get a helicopter too.

Not really friends, just people I know and would have a chat too.

And when you get a buggy for the kid, don't bother trying to get it on or off buses, just fcuk it on the ground because the govt will buy you a new one*

* Only applies if you're an immigrant.

If you really think life relying on state handouts is a cushy number go down the social in the morning and sign on.

It isn't though,and you won't.

Your problem is more with the lack of affordable housing in Dublin,which the government does nothing about because they don't want to upset voting landlords who are creaming it.

Pumpkinseeds · 21-08-2014 02:50PM

The OP is right. Forget social housing if you don't have kids or a criminal record.

With an attachment for a buggy.

I heard that public service administrators drink the tears of middle income families.

Yeah, but I'd have to find a woman who's willing to have sex with me first.

I won't stop my rent direct debit so

That's why you see helicopters abandoned at bus stops all the time. The dole just gives them a new helicopter the next day if they can't fit it on the bus with them.

Duggy747 · 21-08-2014 02:56PM

I heard you get a mansion on the moon with a monkey butler if you're on the dole.

Meanwhile, us working chumps have to work 32 hours a day and have to walk 15 miles to get 3 years length of rope for our mules so we can power our carrot-generators.

Wicklowrider · 21-08-2014 02:57PM

I was in Minnesota about 15 years ago.
There were some kind of state elections going on, maybe for governor.
I was paying no attention until I heard one man addressing the issues of unemployment and welfare. Then it got entertaining really fast - a bit like After Hours in real life. He started by reading a list of people's names who were claiming welfare for years and then challenged them to call around to his office to see if he could get them work. Then he went went on to unmarried mothers.
He proposed a building ( I imagined a barracks....) that was basically a secure block of apartments. The mothers had to sign in and out and were only allowed visitors up til a certain time.Their welfare would be reduced to pocket money but food and services would be provided. All hell broke out at the debate. Would love to see a debate like it here ( about any subject)2 of the representatives even came to blows and were removed by cops. Few things say "democracy" like 2 vietnam vets battering the head off each other

Urgh. Working class people giving out about peasants. *adjusts monocle* Just get your parents to buy you a house, problem solved.

PLL · 21-08-2014 03:05PM

My partner and I had a child at 20, we have since then paid €900 a month in rent, all our own bills, not claimed any benefits, my partner has a great job because he worked hard and went to college while working at the same time. I am going back to college in September so that I can also be educated, and have a career myself.

The people that have kids and claim benefits or live at home with mammy and daddy and then think they can relate to my life grinds my gears like you cannot imagine. You are not an adult, you are not living in the real world. F*ck off.

Seen the title & thought I'd somehow ended up in the bargain alerts thread.

My friends uncle collects them abandoned helicopters and keeps them in a warehouse.
