Child benefit for Gingers to be withdrawn

By Waterford Whispers News

 

The justice minister has called for the withdrawal of child benefit payment from parents whose children have red hair and freckles.

Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform, Dermot Ahern, is insisting that such a sanction, as a last resort, would encourage red haired couples not to procreate.

The Fianna Fáill T.D. has written to the Taoiseach, putting forward his proposal in advance of the introduction of a 'ginger cull' in March.

"Red haired parents should have to take responsibility. The point I make is that thousands of freckly, red haired children are roaming around our streets without a care in the world."

Mr Ahern said that the proposed structure for culling gingers would see the young person receiving a Ginger order first, which if not complied with would lead to a 'hair dye order' and a good temper contract, all depending of course with their co-operation with local hair dressers and the Gardai.

But he said that failing these very important measures, the removal of the child benefit from such families as a short-term ultimate sanction, should be considered by the Irish government.

"The child benefit is for the upkeep and well-being of normal colour haired children. I believe that the government should have the right to withdraw that until such a time as these parents assume their rights and obligations to society."

The Louth-based Minister said the majority of couples who have red hair were in a position to control the ginger population of Ireland.
