No one is saying that the system is perfect far from it but it should be better policed by the Department.

That being said if someone is a genuine lone parent or on the dole then they should be looked after.

You have hit the nail on the head there are so many non nationals with kids living abroad that the Govt cannot tackle them as its against EU law, so the solution is to hit everyone with cuts.

Thats all fine and dandy if you can head back home after getting a few years childs allowance, its the people who have to live here are suffering.

Hence making a child a non child at the tender age of 13.
