If u want to have a child off u go but dont expect the state to support it, every child has two parents let the parents pay not the state oh ya 'Lone Parents' are top of the housing list too while the boyfriend(father) drops in now & again -to balance my post the Government committed another 2Bn to Anglo Irish Bank today......
Some lone parents are lone parents by virtue of being widows, seperated/divorced due to sometimes circumstances beyond their control.
Not all lone parents are taking the piss, and it is up to the Department to investigate and prosecute the ppl who are taking the piss.
