Christmas Bonus To Be Reinstated?

Jim · 2010-11-10 11:51:44

http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/call-to-reinstate-christmas-bonus-for-welfare-recipients-481188.html Obviously this would be great for everyone on the dole (including me). Although I don't think it's quite the right way to go since they need to cut overall spending so much. Maybe it's an attempt to appease the dole…

Not a hope in hell, people will be lucky even if there is a dole in a few months time.

Was there anymore on this? I'd be surprised if we get it this year but it would be nice.

Yes, it would be lovely. They might even decide to give to to people on JB too. And perhaps to low income workers. Any more on it?

Nothing more on it. It's not in the budget and it's gone and hopefully never coming back.
