It seems the government is looking at having a two tier system for child benefit. I think this is a bad idea. Surely it is going to be another disencentive for someone with a family to take up employment.
Many cite the example of Michael O'leary getting child benefit but how many people earn that type of money.
The projected saving is €200 milion from a budget of €2 billion. Surely a 10% accross the board cut would be fairer.
