UK welfare? Wait and see
I have just been introduced to Universal Credit. My entitlement is going down from £6000 to £1500. Im a lone parent with two children. Thanks Mr Cameron, dont think I'll be voting Tory again.
Property looks incredibly cheap In Ireland so relocation would make sense. Can you claim child and other benefits? What are best areas for BRit relocators? |

Property costs (buying & rental) are cheaper at the moment outside the main cities but the overall cost of living is probably higher. Plus, there's no NHS so you might need to consider purchasing health insurance.
Unless your children are school age and you can find a reasonably well paid job, it's probably not worth moving in the short term. Why anyone would vote Tory is beyond me though. ;-) |

You won't be getting anything, apart from €130 a month per child. I suppose you're a hard worker and will do any job, so you won't need other benefits anyway. Best area is probably not too far from your workplace. Ireland has plenty of nice areas.

Take your rose tinted spectacles off - of course they want welfare, that's why they want to move here. Two children at €130 per month wouldn't cover childcare for a week.

Presume you are intending to work? In which case be aware the Ireland has the 5th highest unemployment rate behind Spain, Italy, Portugal and Serbia.

Actually not true, as you didn't mention Greece, Croatia, Cyprus, Slovakia and in a lot of Eastern European countries the figures aren't correct, because a high percentage of people aren't registered. There are plenty of unfilled jobs in Ireland, due to skills shortages (Hotels, IT).

For god sake stop saying there are plenty of jobs. There were 404,515 signing on the live register in July - they must be lazy bastards then. Then many, many thousands are on "work Schemes", which is really still on the dole but not officially unemployed.
