They're talking about nuclear power now. Are the government planning on wiping out all the people on the dole?

How small is she? 5 nothing?

If you're doling it like me you ought to already be shopping in the likes of Tesco. Also btard I'd take employment from her if she was offering.

Take away the social welfare and watch the crime rate jump over night 500% Not to mention riots. I know we slag ourselves saying how we dont protest much against things... but take away the dole and yeah. riots.

Aldi is better than Tesco all of the time whether you're on the dole or not. The fruit and meat in tesco looks like a science experiment.

If the dole is cut you'll shop where you always shop, it's not like you're gonna make an effort to save 20cent on a bag of carrots, you'll just have to just have to cut down on the scratch cards and magazines.

Take away the dole and hopefully we lose a whole lot of useless plonkers due to migration.

billybudd

Being on the dole competes with min wage jobs so she has a point.

But nobody in The Dáil would be affected if the dole was cut

DylanII

She has got a point, cutting the dole will increase competetivness but you can't just cut it right away...

Scrap the dole and watch the minimum wage drop.

I wouldnt say so, they tried before and it was scrapped sharply so i doubt they would bother again.

Fairly obvious really. Handy enough to get your windscreen cleaned in Johannesburg for five cents. You wouldn't walk down the street there though.

Ironically, Tesco's have security guards etc.

Most small businesses, grocers, drapers, electrical shops, don't.

If the dole is cut drastically/gotten rid of, guess who desperate people will begin to steal from???

ihateusernames

Typical IBEC, sure she has been harping on about the same ****e for the past few years. IBEC are so self serving they cannot be taken seriously

Why do you think an employer is suggesting it?

I was going to reply on the topic but I don't think I'll bother. :rolleyes:

There'll always be tomorrow's Thread on the matter shure. :pac:

be glad when dole falls into line with uk, suddenly alot of long term unemployed will be working, thats fairly assured, cost of living will drop and we will be back to square one of the 90s and the circle will begin again.

And just where are they going to get jobs when the educated with degrees can't get them?

awec

They should give out vouchers instead of cash.

I'm not sure if this is a serious post

You do know the 90's was when the boom began?
Is that the circle you are thinking will "begin again" by cutting people off the dole?

Also, will people pleeeaasse stop making comparisons between Ireland and the Uk, it is incomparable as they cost of living and their social structure is completely different to ours.

2500 applied for position as fireman in Cork. 18 jobs going. You think it's right to cut the dole of those trying to get a job? I used to think like you and looked down my nose at long term unemployed, then I was made redundant along with hundreds of other hard working employees and have seen the struggle my former colleagues have gone through ever since to get jobs or watched friends leave the country probably never to return to live here again. I know of so many friends and former colleagues who are in a bad way money wise and would be devastated if their dole is cut. Do you think they should leave their country if theres no work for them and that they shouldn't expect handouts? Is that how it's gone these days, those who have jobs thinking that those who have lost theirs better get one quickly and if they can't they had better leave quickly.

Will they? I mean I think there's not a lot of jobs out there for people who want to work. What chance does someone who has never worked have?

Who mentioned Beer Fueled Debates ??

Miss Lockhart

IBEC are such a useless bunch of wasters. I wouldn't pay any heed to them.

repsol

There have been a few debates on this subject on Boards.ie recently and they seem to come down to one side saying doleys are bone idle scroungers(cut it) versus the other side saying that nobody wants to be on the dole and they are struggling(increase it).
My own position is that I have a job. I would like to see people who have worked and are just unlucky to have lost their job being treated totally different to those who have NEVER worked or refuse work.The former should be given a decent amount to live on and any free training or help they need to get back into the workforce or to start a new enterprise.The latter group should be given 6 months notice after which they should be cut off completely like they do in the states.We cannot continue with a situation were someone decides they are going to be a parasite for life and pay them every week to do it.The money saved would pay for extra carers allowances,services for the elderly and disabled,SNA's etc which have all been slashed

Won't NOT work for peanuts, you mean?

Yeah, screw her and all those bastards who create employment. They can shove their risk taking where the sun don't shine. Why don't they just sit on their holes and wait for others to come up with jobs like the rest of us?

elperello

IBEC and Small Firms Association are two parts of the same organisation.

TESCO are members of IBEC so shopping in TESCO is supporting IBEC indirectly.

I was looking for information like that, couldn't find it so fair play

The UK amount on balance, even though 14 euro less, would end up meaning more in the UK recipients pockets due to cheaper utility bills, cheaper food, cheaper road tax etc etc

You have to pay council tax in the UK though, and at a rate which makes our forthcoming property tax look like peanuts.

One of the problems is that people with degrees are waiting for jobs in their chosen field when in reality there is none so they can probaly comfortably live on the dole until such a day arises when they can get a job in that field as opposed to working in spar for instance on min wage.
