Brian Lenihan and Mary Hanafin backed down and the plan to touch our child benefit is officially dead. We forced them to listen and protected the families they tried to squeeze for cash. Keep your eyes open because we proved that when we organize they cannot just steamroll over us.

Brian Lenihan and Mary Hanafin think they can balance the books on the backs of struggling parents while they ignore the reality of our households. I have been reading your comments all morning and the anger is exactly what we need to force these ministers to back down.

Everything is going up but the wages are staying the same. They are targeting the wrong people.
Typical. Always the ones working hard get hit. Leave the benefit alone its not a luxury its for the kids food.
Madness. My husband is working full time and we are still barely breaking even. If they touch this payment we are finished.
So sick of this. They take and take while we get nothing back. Stop attacking mothers.
Already struggling to pay the mortgage and keep the kids in shoes. Do they have any idea how much it costs just to get through the week now? Leave it alone.

This is just another way to rob families while the real wasters get away with it. DISGUSTING.
