    Try the bank first then the Welfare Officer if you have no luck.

    You may in fact be entitled to a back to work allowance, if you were long term unemployed, as you are technically not getting paid for a month i would suggest you mention this at the social welfare office, bring your contract if available, they may give you some grace!, worth a try.

    Is maith an scáthán súil charad.

    I'd be inclined to talk to the SW officer, I'm sure he/she will understand your situation. Are you not caliming Rent Allowance to help with your rent payments?

    Might be a bit early to ask your employer. No?

    Also if you get an advance from you employer, its like you are robbing Peter to pay Paul and following month cash flow will still be tight. I'd try to tough it out for this month!

    Obviously we cant advocate doing that.

    Also if you are caught there are massive penalties apparently
