In Ireland, the political party Fianna Fail which is likely to enter Government after post-election negotiations on Thursday, is proposinng to allow divorced individuals to re-apply for the "first time buyers grant". This is a tax-relief scheme offered to first time buyers which exempts them from paying Stamp Duty on houses worth up to €317,500. The changes to allow the grant to apply to divorcees are being rushed through.

This decision by an Irish political party is bad because (i) it's attempting to prop up a lagging, overheating property market and (ii) it is an incentive to divorce (which is currently at about 15% - lots of room for "growth" say the Government and consumer/retail interests...)

This is a decision from the Fianna Fail party which is historically a traditional, non-liberal party. However, there is no such thing as a party - whether it purports to be right, left or centre - that defends men's rights. Once again, money interests and economics come to women's rescue.

From the Irish Independent:

they are after the money.. like all bankers..

Is that a spelling error, a typographical error, or an intentional spelling?

I did have cockney rhyming slang in mind when I typed it..
