Unemployed people.

Me!

I left college in 2004 and struggled to get a job straight away.
You try getting a summer job in Galway which has a huge proportion of students and young people.
Small city, competing with tens of thousands.

Nine weeks later I had a job. lol, I got two job offers in the same week.

And paid that money back many, many times over in PRSI

So OP, am I scum?

Why are almost all tedious dole-bashing threads started by people with below-average literacy skills?

I applaud the OP, he/she have managed to put a new slant on the twice daily Dole thread

Same thread to say same fcuking thing. There are people on the Dole who don't want to work. Side effect of a program that in theory [and likely] helps more people than it 'Enables'. News here? No. Whats on telly?

Mister men

I was on the dole for 6 months in 2005. Needed some time out from working for years and it really was a great rest. Did some travelling across Europe/Morocco on my motorbike for a couple of months well needed headspace.:) Some of the heads down the social office was unreal the few times i signed on. Got talking to some bloke who was 39 years old and had'nt worked a day in his life since he left school at 15.:pac:

I'm ringing Joe now to complain about the unemployed people, I might as well sure cos I'm not working.

Agricola

I think 150,000 is a manageable figure and nothing to get alarmed about. There are 3 times more people on it now, yet the country is 10 times more fúcked.

greendom

The majority would have been between jobs looking for work after a contract ended Within a short period of time the majority would have been working again. The figure for long term unemployed would have been much lower.

the unemployable and the permanently lazy

yes even through the good times when some companies were screaming out for staff you still had a large amount of people on the dole.

Just proves the point that alot of people out there just don't want to work.

squeakyduck

Somewhere in Eastern Europe it is compulsory for people to do manual labor for the dole.

Imagine if they brought that in in Ireland tomorrow. There wouldn't be so many people sitting on their arses. If you are looking for a job, well and good I pat you on the back. It's the lazy messes I have to deal with everyday that I would love to see working to the bone for the scribble!

do you work in a dole office??

squeakyduck

Sadly I don't! I wouldn't give the dole out to anyone! I'd keep it for myself!

They were waiting for FAS courses and giving every excuse imaginable not to go on them.

It will only be for 10,000 people apparently and even then you can probably say you dont want to and they'll leave it at that.

They sound like some programmes that could appear on TV3 !

Diabhal Beag

God I hate these recession threads. Last ever recession thread I'll ever read.

Asphyxia

I really hope that working for your dole comes in soon I think it's a brilliant idea, I know a load of people who just sat around doing nothing and even had of jobs offered to them and they turned them down while I was out busting myself to get some type of work >:(

I hate people who have used the recession as an excuse to sit at home all day, there is always something they could like do a PLC course.

Blazer

They're probably the same cúnts who're still getting their dole money week in week out and off to the pub every night of the week (and I see it a lot where I live) while I see lots of people who only recently been signed on getting grief from the government and getting cut off while they sort shít out..
I have to watch as my old fella (who worked for 46 years straight and paid a fortune in tax at the high bracket) gets cut off after a year on the stamps and still 3 months later is still scrambling around trying to get all the stupid ass forms they want and every week it's a new form while I see the other cúnts who apparently are too sick to work but can make it to the pub and fall out of there every night get handed their weekly allowance no problem.

If I had my way I'd make every one of them earn their dole payment by doing a 20-30 hour week, even my old fella says it should be this way.

Yawns

That's nice. Now can this thread plz **** off and die? The new Dole bashing thread should be here any hour now...
