Is there a school that bureaucrats go to ...
to learn how to make people miserable in as many ways as possible?
Yesterday:
I saw a letter refusing to grant single parent allowance because 'you are seperated geographically only'!
I found out that the ambulance will take you and your sick child to hospital but won't take you back. The hospital is 25km away so that's a 20 Euro taxi fare out of your 19:50 weekly allowance.
Medical cards don't cover non-prescription drugs such as cough syrup any more.
I heard of a family that told it's young children that if they were deported they would leave the kids behind in Ireland.
Heard a rumour about a three-year-old being hit with a belt in the face causing scars. People are taking out their fustrations on their children.
I wish I knew what to do.
