    Well in that case - assuming I hadn't the wherewithal or the technical competence to fill in a hole. I take the bold step of actually supervising my kids.

    Absolving property owners of all responsibility I see. That'd end well. "Never mind that live wire hanging down there, just keep away from it, it'll be grand".

    Judge groarke, if i ever have a compo case it better be him on that day! A most generous man!

    To be fair all the Judge did was approve the SETTLEMENT OFFER.
    In other words liability was accepted , he had no hand act nor part in deciding the case, his sole role was to approve the settlement offer and he cannot order the offer to be lowered.

    Are we absolving parents of all responsibility? The parents have a duty of care to supervise their child. Does she need someone from the council to move in and babysit?

    LOL at all the posts blaming the council for not fixing her free house quick enough. The council provided housing for her and her child, something she failed to do. What is her responsibility as a parent? Housing and supervising her child don't seem to be expected of her.

    You can rant and rave all you wish but a landlord whether council or private is responsible for ensuring the property they are renting is in a safe manner. Especially after they had been informed of an issue.

    You kind of left out the bit about the council being the landlord and not fixing the issue after they'd been told about it. Fairly important info to skip over.

    Its not important. The outrage is important.

    Are you trying to undermine our outrage by quoting facts?

    No, but given how utterly depressing and repetitive the dole bashing threads are, I was doing my best to avoid them. Some posters do their very best to shoehorn the topic into absolutely any thread they can though.

    They're fond of claiming in that place. A kid claimed and was paid substantial monies for falling off a rock in that place a few years ago.

    The topic of a thread is meaningless. If the threads seems popular its gunna be either "immigration" or "scroungers". Its all some can talk about.

    Bloody joke. If it was that big of a liability then surely the renters should have some modicum of intelligence to avoid the area. The child was 14, not 4. Not too hard to tell them to stay clear.

    And here's an idea, why not fix it themselves and show a bit of respect for their home instead of waiting for everyone to do things for them.

    You can buy a bag of mixed sand and cement in a hardware store for about 4 euro. Mix and a bit of water and fill the hole . I know they complained to the council about it, but how about getting off your arse and fixing it yourself . It's not like you'd have to be a builder to fill a bit of a hole

    Rarely see a pensions bashing thread even though multiples more is spent on OAP than dole, children's allowance and any other social support you can think of.

    Legally you'd be in breach of the tenancy agreement. Are you suggesting tenants should breach their tenancy terms and conditions?

    Pensioners have paid their dues to society and deserve every social help they get.

    https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/41000-for-student-who-fractured-his-ankle-in-fall-on-footpath-38004029.html

    41 fookin' thousand for not looking where you are going at 6am in the fecking morning. I know this cretin and his family I used to live in the same estate...and as a supposed student whom lives near the school he supposed to attend..you dont need to start at 6am in the feckin morning, its a literal 20-30 minute walk.

    This is where our taxes are going....i'm off to take an "accidental" fall on my way home from work as some of the footpaths are dodgy at best where I walk.

    Why ring them in the first place , if I had a hole that was hazardous ( no jokes pleases) I'd fix it myself . Are the council gonna throw someone out of their home for filling a hole. I'd doubt it

    Not all pensioners have paid their dues. Scangers and Scrotes get old too and continue to bleed the system
