      I mean this is one of the cases where anyone who actually knows the pittance that a lot of these folks actually pay (and sadly a reasonable portion don’t even bother to pay) understands that it has to go up and even if it goes up 30%, it won’t be within a country mile of private rents. You can’t expect to be living in a 2/3 bed house and paying less than 100 euro a week in Dublin. If you don’t like those rates then feel free to get out and find something on the private market and let someone who appreciates the absolute golden egg they would have, have it.

      These carve-outs for the lucky few just increase the prices for everyone else. Zero sympathy.

      Absolutely disgraceful freeloaders who barely pay rent as it is (nearly half of Dublin City council tenants are in significant arrears) despite the fact they pay so little that the council makes a loss on maintenance. We’ve created an entire class of people who contribute nothing to society and have the audacity to demand even more handouts.

      People making comments under the assumption that this just affects a few „scammers“ or „dole lifers“ really are showing their ignorance.

      >Residents of DCC’s houses and flats, tenants in the private sector in receipt of housing benefits such as the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) and tenants of approved housing bodies all face increases averaging 30% from the beginning of next month.

      Approximately 30pc of all private rentals in the state are funded by hap, with about 80pc of those HAP recipients being tax paying workers.

      This isn’t just a load of dole heads getting a few extra euros docked off their social. It affects many thousands of renters who already pay their rent as well as massive landlord top ups and all the taxes and expenses that comes with being a member of society.

      When a full time worker needs state assistance just to pay their rent then something is wrong and it’s definitely the state.
