    In keeping in line with some peoples way of thinking, what restrictions would you put on the decent folk of the dole?

    My input: Pedometer on hand to detect excess wánking during the day when we should be out looking for jobs

    If you go anywhere on your travel pass eg. to the shops, you have to ask all the taxpayers in the area do they want anything from the shop



    Ps. Im on the disability myself due to unfortunate circumstances

    I think the restrictions on their income and other people's perception of them is sufficient.

    They should get most of their social welfare through food stamps, rent/bills paid, bus/train tickets and only a very small amount in cash to spend how they choose.

    Let's just do this logically: if you're not Irish, you don't get money.
    If you're not Irish enough but are still in Ireland, you get sent to a workcamp to work for your dole.
    If you're not fit enough to be in a work camp, you get used as a food for the horses dragging the carts.

    I think that's a nice start.

    I'm in one of those humours, so pay no attention.

    I would try and come up some sort of system where you would lose a portion of your welfare if it was spent on smokes.

    Na, they can own all the golf clubs and motor vehicles they want.

    But recipients of social welfare should be required by law to use public transport.

    Wait, what? I thought this was serious. I have a few non-Irish rounded up to get kicked out of the country when the new rules come in. :o

    Yes, they should lose around €9 every time they buy a pack. The government should get about 80% of that, with the rest of the cost going to the shops and manufacturers that provide this "system".
