The Irish Central website reports today (September 30, 2011) that an unemployed married couple from Bosnia -- with four children -- is taking home over $121,000 per year in welfare checks.
The couple -- who live in Dublin -- take home $2,385 per week.
Labor Party Senator Jimmy Harte has called for a cap on the amount of social welfare payments a family can receive.
Harte says $68,000 is more than enough for one family per year.

It is incredible and ludicrous that Ireland is paying an unemployed married couple over $121,000 per year in welfare checks. There is obviously no motivation for this couple to get a job, because they probably would not make anywhere near that amount of money. It's no wonder Ireland is on the verge of bankruptcy, with such huge welfare payments.
ReplyDeleteIreland needs to have a cap on welfare payments -- perhaps a maximum of $30,000 per family -- and must limit welfare payments to a maximum of one year. Otherwise, it is going to find its entire population collecting welfare checks -- and Ireland will indeed go bankrupt!
