What do you think of this if you lived in Balyymun flats because you where a single mother and when the flats where knocked down you got a lovely new house in the area. Now you can buy it of the Corporation for pittance and sell it a few months later and make a massive profit. I heard of a girl that plans on selling hers and her boyfriend is also selling his and they will buy a nice house then. Surely there should be a clause in it that they would have to buy it for the going rate not the pittance they can pay for it.

It is the unmarried mothers like the one in my job that spends about 1000euro on her little brat at christmas and she also drives around in a peugeot 207. So if she can afford a car loan every month she can afford her percentage of a mortgage instead of getting a house of the council. Plus their boyfriends do be living with them and they make out they are on their own.

No wonder are country is the way it is and then you have the poor old people stuggling and getting nothing really.
 
Go look up the facts on social housing, and in particular the clawback clauses in contracts. If you wish, you can then some back and start a sensible debate on this topic.
