"Citizenship is not a criteria, nor should it be": Tánaiste Simon Harris defends the fact that non-Irish citizens are eligible to receive social housing from the State.

Apart from obvious unfairness of having Irish people work to fund immigrants’ homes, it simply isn’t a sustainable model. What do they think happens when a Somali family is given a free house, weekly payments and free healthcare? They tell everyone in their village.

Living alone allowance up €3 a week. So you’ll be able to buy the Irish Daily Mail one day a week.

The government can find billions in free accommodation, free meals, free laundry and social housing for people with no connection to this country. New arrivals who never contributed anything. Well here's the other side of the coin. A man who has worked his entire life going to bed at 8pm because he can't afford to heat his home. There's nothing wrong with helping others. But my God lads you start with your own.

Is our Corrupt government having a laugh €3.00 for people Living Alone

Immigration to Welfare: Did you know the Govt passed a new Social Housing law this summer ? “The Housing and Residential Tenancies Act 2026” This Act sets the rules for asylum seekers’ access to social housing To qualify for social housing you must be “lawfully resident” and “habitually resident” in Ireland. “lawfully resident” includes: • Refugee status • Subsidiary protection • Permission to remain • Programme refugee status • Certain qualifying family permissions So once someone moves from being an asylum applicant, they have an immediate legal gateway to the social housing list. Social housing is NOT for citizens only. And To be clear: Until this summer, the rules governing migrants’ access to social housing were largely contained in a Departmental circular from 2012. The Govt has now written them directly into law. This was a chance to tighten up access to social benefits. Remember the Govt admit most are “economic migrants” But Instead they have doubled down. This directly affects the housing crisis. It puts new arrivals in direct competition with with disability campaigners & others for housing resources. Why are they doing this?

I think the very sight of this man sickens most people.

The artificial population increase that’s occurring in Ireland is occurring without any remotely adequate infrastructural investment that would allow the population to cope, one result of this is that people are forced to spend ever lengthening hours stuck in traffic on their way to and from work every day. That’s time away from their family and friends for which they will never be reimbursed. The whole thing is something which slowly chokes the life out of the country and all the people in it.

Immigration to welfare does not work. This is the ENTIRE problem.

Not one who works hard will get anything in this budget compared to those on welfare. You need to reduce all non contributory welfare payments like the pension and JA. Tell these people to work and reduce migration.
