These people need to lighten up. They should remember that their government is spending billions of foreign migrants. Hundreds of millions for teaching English to children from Ethiopia to Estonia, just to take one example. Tens of millions for child welfare for children living in Poland Lithuania and Latvia, to take another. Lighten up, people, it's all in a good cause!

Before you get upset about this proposal, remember this payment of €150 per month each for the first two children and €187 for each subsequent child, is paid irrespective of Parents earnings,capital, property ownership or inherited wealth. Parents on low earnings have several other Social 'safety-net' payments. The only thing effected by a good hearty cut in this payment of 'Mammy's Pocket Money' will be the takings at the local bar! This is just another confirmation of 'Cloud Cuckoo Ireland'! A Failed State living on borrowed money!

Yes, but the banks will still get their billions, and banks, not families, are the basis of society.

The Goal of Socialism is to have as many people on bread lines as possible. The Bread Line is the perfect division of the wealth. Although some Socialist would complain about the unfairness of one person standing in front of another person. This would result in quota's, set asides, or lotteries. Eventually the Socialist Bread Line would fail.
