Perfection, I think what you are saying is 'rediclious'.

While I don't know of any of 'those' kind of foreigners you refer to, I know of a great number who work hard and have started businesses and are employing people.

You are just coming across as somebody who is bitter about their own situation and is looking for somebody to castigate. Nobody here is naive. Of course SW fraud happens - it is just not as epidemic nor endemic to the groups you point your finger at.

Accusations based on sensationalist headlines and overt xenophobia are no substitute for reasoned argument or common sense.

Oracle is spot on.

The point is perfection is referring to people getting handouts freely and easily from the State, while at the same time wanting the Government to help her out of her mortgage-based difficulties. There's a massive irony in condeming some people for getting help from the State and then demanding help for yourself.
Also, there were 12,000 investigations into SW fraud last year, so there is something being done about it. It's all very well to want State help, but don't tar everyone who gets help as a fraudulent single parent or foreigner scamming the system. And if you do know about fraud, report it because it affects us all.

You said it Oracle.

My husband came to Ireland in 2009 (before I met him) as a student. To be allowed to enter the country he had to have €5,000 in a bank account here. Every year he has to go to immigration and have his visa renewed. He is a hard worker and is entitled to nothing in this country even though he's taxed, like everybody else is. We are also struggling to manage the mortgage on our home, also in NE, and I also think twice before I take my car out/use my phone or buy any non-essential items.

Your griping about foreigners and single parents sponging off the state is sensationalist and incredibly insulting. I won't comment on your inability to spell or write coherent sentences

I doubt their surname is "Barry" if they're "foreigners"

Perfection, ye oversubscribed to credit. Re-mortgaging a house so soon to do it up and at a time when it was heavily reported the crash was coming was foolish. So you are a part of the financial problem in this country. Like it or not its a fact. I feel sorry for anyone who finds themselves in dire straits now cos i know it isn't easy but lashing out and making stupid remarks about people on SW is not going to change your situation.

I have to agree. I made my opinions known but it is not part of the deflection onto Social Welfare fraud issues. That's another argument. This one was on Mortgage Debt forgiveness.

RIDICULOUS btw...that is how you spell it,,,I can't help it. I'm sorry.
