For instance, a low earning family, working 18 hours a week with six children, would in Eire, receive 1,867 euros per month on top of their wages. Here, because of the Chancellor's social engineering, we shall within 20 years have to import several million immigrants to do jobs that would have been done by the babies Mr Osborne's polices discouraged from being born.
