JUST READ THE LAST PARAGRAPH
A single mum-of-one from Dublin 8 who will be made homeless soon has slammed the ‘stigma’ surrounding HAP.
Michelle Ireland and her six year old daughter Angelina will be left stranded in a matter of weeks when their tenancy ends.
Because she is a recipient of social welfare and HAP (Housing Assistance Payment) she said that the stigma surrounding the payment has been hindering her from securing accommodation.
“There is still a huge stigma surrounding HAP, there is assumption that you are lazy and looking for a handout,” she said.
“A single mum with HAP is not welcomed.”
Speaking to Independent.ie, the desperate mum explained that she has been searching for accommodation for months, contacting every advert she sees, but to no avail.
“I had this daft.ie setting where immediately when a new advert is posted, I would receive a notification on my phone and I would immediately contact the landlord,” she explained.
“I would send 20 emails, and I would get one reply, or nothing.”
Currently, Michelle and her daughter rank as a ‘non-priority’ on the list for social housing. In desperation, she contacted government ministers and TDs, but none of which succeeded in putting her higher on the waiting list, which is 15 years long.
She is now frightened for her and her daughter’s future.
“I feel hopeless,” she said.
“I wake up every morning with fear and think, ‘what will we do, if we contact adverts, will anyone reply today’?”
The 36-year-old, who is originally from Prague in the Czech Republic but has lived in Ireland for 13 years, has a series of medical conditions, including epilepsy and fibromyalgia, which she was diagnosed with recently.
She believes that her health problems, as well as the stress of house hunting, is affecting her mental health.
“I lie awake at night, absolutely terrified about the future for me and my daughter. This is not something I planned or want for me and my daughter,” she explained.
Michelle has been out of work since she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in January. The condition sees her in a lot of pain and has reduced her mobility.
However, she has decided to go back to college and pursue a level eight degree in social care.
Her daughter Angelina, who has a heart condition and received open heart surgery when she was five months old, is very worried about leaving their current home.
“We go to regular doctor appointments but she’s a little fighter, like her mum.”
“She’s very sensitive to the move so I don’t want to change school as she’s all settled,” said Michelle.
It was because of her daughter that Michelle made the decision to return to education.
“I want to be a good role model for my daughter but I feel that I have tried everything and I don’t know where else to turn. There is no support for people like me and my daughter,” she added.

Another fukking Foreigner playing the system no doubt wiyh the help,and advice of the Immigrant council of Ireland.obviously a name change as well.how the fukk can you come from the chec republic and. be called michele Ireland
-
What's the system like in the Czech republic....and yeah....where is the father?
-
Why is everything in your life about Race Dollymount Plenty of Irish living all over Europe getting looked after .The system is fucked EVERYBODY Irish and foreign with a sense of entitlement .

Why would a landlord wanna rent out his apartment to someone who doesn't work when there are plenty of high earners willing to pay over the going rate to live in the city.I think the Independent does print these stories to wind everyone up.

A lot of property investers want Hap tenents as the HAP money is paid direct to them .I know a lad has 270 properties all HAP he bought years ago and bought during the crash .His HAP payments cover his mortgage repayments and then what top up he gets is cash flow .You have cash tenents and they dont pony up it can take years to get them evicted .
-
John your quite right,everything in my life is about race .I want to make life as uncomfortable as possible for foreigners living in Ireland .I am incompletely opposed to multiculturalism,and always wil be as long as its the case that Irish people are on the streets while foreigners are given houses,medical cards,free education,etc

There's no shortage of tech staff and benders living around Dublin 8.The landlords can squeeze more money from them as the market changes with Brexit bringing in new people every day.She can always move to Letterkenny if she has to.It's not like she has to commute anymore.
-
Dollymount Irish people are in the streets because of Irish people .Our thieving Scumbag Government had choices they chose austerity WE the IRISH voted for it .Ireland as a country is just a stone in a puddle we are economically unviable as a state our tax take is less than our outgoings and without foreigners subsidising us we would be bankrupt .When we became a Republic the Brits paid for us then when British Handouts ran out we scurried like begging Swine to the EU for free money then we set up Tax fiddles for the rest of the world to deprive their citizens of their rightfull tax dollars .Your Vision of Ireland is flawed we are the fucking scum of the earth run by a Robbing thieving Scumbag government who got caught out with the crash and bailed out the Banks then introduced HAP not to assist people to find somewhere to live but to save the property market .You need to wake the fuck up Dollymount all our problems are home made .Dates back to Fine 1 and Fine 2 offering the same policies at election time the only difference was what enducements they offered to get power .

Plenty of housing outside Dublin My pal bought a block of 24 appartments for 38K eack in Longford five years ago he has never had full ocupancy .Any influx from Brexit will be reversed by tarriffs and huge job losses then the Sodomite Prince will be buggered but not in the way he likes when the G20 agree to a universal digital tax and the big Tech Thieves will all fuck off out of this overpriced shithole .A programmer on 90 k a year is paying half their earnings in income tax social charge and PRSI then two grand a month for a nest .IF Brexit happens we are fucked you can see what will happen ,The Jocks are already claiming Rockall ,the Brits wont forgive Paddy for putting the boot in .Listening to Gove on the TV this morning he just threatened to Bankruot Ireland through the back door and force the Sodomite Prince to build a border .The Cleverer than our pricks MP proposed to abolish VAT and replace it with a sales tax ,this would mean to protect the Irish economy from cheaper British imports that the Irish Government would have to introduce a border as proposed in the backstop .Go figure the EU would INSIST on a BORDER to protect the EU from cheaper British Imports swarming into mainland Europe through Gateway Ireland .

im not a fan of people who think being on the dole is a career choice but this woman is not one of them, she is suffering from health problems yet she is planning to go back to college to better herself. i have no problem with the tax i pay going to such people, if you are on the dole and try to better yourself i say fair play to you. its the people who dont want to work who are the problem.

i know lots of people who used BTEA to get themselves out of the misery that being on the dole is to get a degree and job from the degree. most people want to work. i know there are some crazy benifits to being unemployed or on disability, free tv licence, free cinema tickets etc but id rather be dead than on the dole long term.
Your living in Rural Ireland where there is or never was or never will be a paying job for you what other option do you have but welfare or exodus .
there are plenty of paying jobs in rural Ireland, i wouldn't live anywhere else.

I love the ones who are single mothers to several childer, from several father's.
Living in 3 or 4 Star hotels, receiving conjugal visits from the children's fathers, or possibly not.
Awaiting a house in an area of their choice, preferably beside her Mother's council house - who she said in her housing application, she can't live with because she doesn't get on with her - yet will use to to mind Nevaeh, Rocco, Rico, Rihanna,Carlton, Charleighene, and Cooper while she's doing her session moth thing on Fridays and Saturdays..
I call Bullshit on It!

They say you know your nation is in decline when the immigrants living there become even more entitled than the indigenous ones with the inferiority complexes. This place will crash...make no mistake.

I have 49 euro in my pocket my total debt is very low I got lucky with a cheap gaff Most families are living pay packet to pay packet had to borrow off my credit card to pay my Hen while I was off the road .Our kid was looking for a house to buy in Ballyfermot/Clondalkin nothing under 260K how the fuck can you pay a mortgage raise children have any social life on a working mans wage .Read somewhere that the waiting list for Social housing will take 15 years to clear at the rate they are building social houses .Governments own watchdogs are warning them they are overspending on Hospital and broadband so no spare change to build homes for people .A lot of people got butchered with the crash and are still paying .I see Jonny Ronan ,Harry Crosby are back in business Sean Quinn wont go hungry .Great Country to give a Man a second chance .

Ye see that's the misconception of " ownership "
I really want to execute them people before profit and looney left sinn feint cnuts going on in the Dail about landlords.... Yhey givin out about the homeless on one hand and giving out on the other hand about us not taking enough refugees on the other and saying the greedy landlord is giving everyone a large portion up the gicker and they are responsible
I was actually homeless after the crash and I was a paper millionaire..... And because I was a paper millionaires I was told there was no fukin room at the inn....
So the homeless moved into me property and I moved into me ma,s house and I worked 7 days a fukin week for 6 years to pay mortgages that wernt covered by the rent so this guy was usin your taxes and my labour to live free of charge.....
So he never has to work in his fukin life and I have to work for the rest of me life and in the meantime this cnut is being moved around by the fukin doo gooders wrecking other people's property with no fear eviction .....
You explain the bit in there that says I'm doing well ???
