Our husband and wife, our mother and baby, €75.

So we will see two people for what another GP practice will see one person.

Well, like, look, I suppose, and I'll mention Gráinne Brach, because that's where I'm from, so I hope anyone doesn't take offence, but how hard done by must you feel if you are in a house that you have a substantial mortgage on, on Gráinne Brach Road or the Meadows or Fairfield Drive or anything, if you're here in this house with a mortgage and there's a council house next door to you,

And the people that are working next door to you or the people that are living next door to you won't get up and get a job.

And they're in a house that's supported, whereas you and your partner have to work two jobs, pay for childcare.

You know, like the harder you work, the more you have to pay.

You're not entitled to childcare.

You know, you obviously both need transport and you're paying a mortgage.

You know, like I said it on a Facebook post there not so long ago that I think the new poor are the kind of double income couples where they both have to work.

Because, I mean, childcare isn't cheap, you know, and if you don't qualify for free childcare, you have to pay it or don't go to work.

One side of me can't blame them.

I can't blame them either.

But I think as an individual, you owe it to yourself to get up and better yourself.

But having said that, I blame the government.

I don't blame the individual because there is no incentive in this country.

Not only is there not an incentive, you're punished.

You're punished.

Like, for example, if you're on a relatively good income, I mean a working person's income, like you're probably better off working four days rather than five because when you work the fifth day, you're going into the higher bracket.

In what world does that make sense?
