    I don't think that is possible. How do you know they were on the dole that long?

    Maybe they got a job and went back on it later.

    I'm not going into details, they are related to me, that's how i know all the details.




    Oh and Ireland is not full of them, really generalise much?
    Sorry , should have said Dublin.

    i say alot of them spent and bought like mad ejits during the boom so are under pressure to pay the bills!

    you would think that the vast majority of those for example who worked in construction for the past ten years but who are now obviously unemployed would have accumulated some level of savings , i mean FFS , carpenters , brickies , plumbers , tilers , electricians , all theese groups had ten glorious years , if theese people need dole to survive , i have zero sympathy to be honest

    i would have sympathy for some of them,but also yes some did really overpriced themselfs,many i heard took the wags abroad during the boom,the restaurants and such,speaking of saving,the clever other e.u workers did save up,one proof of this is the recent auctions where alot of buyers of the repro'ed machines where outsiders.
