Why wouldn`t it?
Where to start. If you can’t make a stab at it there’s probably little point in me explaining to you.
Guilty as charged so
We already have universal benefits in some areas. the benefits system is gamed by some and a trap for many and too expensive to administer.
You really need to be there during the Opera Festival mate.
I would hate to antagonise a limerick man talking about stabbing but this is clearly a bollocks answer on realising that you have no notion what the merits or negatives are to this
Disagree tan, like I said if you can’t see drawbacks to, or plain stupidness of, aspects or all of this proposal then my outlining them would probably be lost on you. For a start, the entire proposal, and article, appears to use the concepts of equality and fairness interchangeably, which is fundamentally wrong.
the object of the entire excercise it seems to me is to inject cash into the economy.
nothing wrong with that either i assume

I don’t think that is the object. Of course if it is, it’s an even more stupid proposal. They’re proposing taking money off poor people who spend all welfare income, and giving it to middle and higher earners who don’t need it and probably won’t spend it, or at least won’t spend all of it in the local economy as people living on welfare generally do. So it will take money out of the economy, while spending a billion more, and leave the poorest people in abject poverty.
Not again. 
the boom times are back baby
My sources tell me a certain McNamara had purchased a fuck load of properties, some perhaps for the second time, around South William St / Chatham Row area of Dublin…
I see Sherry Fitzgeralds in Ballsbridge is getting a makeover. Plus a gaff in Ranelagh is going to auction at €880k-I went to see a house on the same street 18 months ago that went for around €460k at the time. Oh we’re back baby 
Went and viewed a room in Ranelagh this evening, old house, tiny kitchen, the room was basically a cot in an attic at the end of a spiral staircase -€500.
FFS sake :mad:
The ballsy guys have been in and out of the market already.

It’s a very fashionable part of one of the most vibrant cities in Europe-what do you expect?
Saw a box room up for rent earlier today in the area beside the Schoolhouse. Only 850 euro per month for it. The kitchen in the place was about the size of a standard toilet cubicle.
I’ll give you the first part but Dublin is in it’s hole “vibrant”, stop being a prick for once in your life.
I’m only trying to help, buddy. Go rent a box room off @Mac in Dublin’s red light district for a grand a month so.
