Yeah like the dole scroungers want a job when they are getting 190 per week plus housing plus medical cards plus free transport plus childrens allowance. Time to scrap all those allowances and introduce food stamps for those leeches.

I think there was no fear of those particular people ever looking for jobs to begin with.

yeah not when they can get money, food, houses & methadone for free.
the jealousy of that guy, as if he should be entitled to OUR state benefits.

He was complaining about the system and as a taxpayer who helps fund their benefits hasn't he every right to comment.

He also said he was lucky to have a job in spite of the challenges of the job

If he was made redundant now he would be entitled to some, he has paid taxes. You have to remember he gets racist shíte from these people everyday, it makes you spiteful. That programme was an absolute joke, assuming all red line passengers are scumbags, all green line passengers are affluent and that the staff are all lovely, some are a*holes like every other profession.

I am now convinced you are Joe Duffy ... Or some similar champion of the working class. It seems convenient for you to ignore the higher crime rates on the red line the programme remarked upon. The luas red line is the playground for the unemployed, travellers, junkies, skanks and the great unwashed in general.

That program was made for you :-)

He doesn't think he should be entitled to any state benefits but made a reasonable point that people who do get everything for free are unlikely to be motivated to work.

He is working and contributing to OUR economy and his kid is learning English & Irish OUR languages. He was happy about this meaning his child will be able to integrate well with us and that he is most likely not anti-Irish.

I suggest you bury your head in the sand in case you see something else which contradicts your social ideals. - no guard, 'twas a rich banker who held a syringe to my neck!

It was a guy from Louth who once threatened me with a punh in the face thus Louth is a pool of vermin, right! Course not ya mug.

Get out more, see the world.

Bit rich of our Lithuanian friend to be complaining about anti social crime and welfare rates in Ireland. According to the cso, 23% of Lithuanians resident here are on the dole. Thats nine points above the national average. "Lithuania is different" as if its a crim free zone. It has one of the highest crime rates in the EU. Not to mention the recent spate of murders and Lithuanians up in our courts for knife crime. Two articles in todays Indo about them alone.
Irony overload.

Red line passenger here, this show is a bloody joke!
They have interviewed no-one but a deluded whiney culchie who thinks no-one uses a smartphone or tablet or kindle on the Red Line out of fear or poverty and who almost creams himself about the Green line passengers (cue close up of an iPad) and a junkie with a free pass.

Green Line, loads interviewed! Ooh, a kindle reader, someone with a designer bag - look! a dope who leaves her bag unattended but that's okay - it's the Green line!

What a joke - I've seen one racially motivated old drunk bastard give abuse to a few Indians on the Red Line, the odd kid fare dodging and almost everyone is on a smrtphone/tablet/kindle and no problems (10 x 30min journeys a week)

I'm fuming!

It's a good summation of the scum that inhabit the environs the red Luas travels through

i have had to take both for work at different stages and anyone who doesn't think the red line is rougher needs their heads checked!

ive never been hassled on either, but the general rough/knacker/junkie contingent is way higher on the red line, especially around that abbey street area the lads were standing on.

How dare you! All people are created equally! There is no such thing as good or bad people. We are all the same beautiful creatures. There is no social division around here. There are no areas with higher crime. I find your comments disgusting

If you actually listened to what he said
He said Lithuania is different, here everyone knows you can't touch them
-implying that security in Lithuania could use brute force if they wanted to.
Then he went on to speak about the social welfare system here something which doesn't exist in Lithuania.
So was he not completely correct? That is two differences between Ireland and Lithuania and part of the reason that his job exists

I didn't hear him discuss crime rates at all you're the one that seems to be running stats reports

leftwing cos youre broke

it's amazing that Veolia can make a profit on the lines despite having to employ a small army of security guards and having high instances of fare evasion. Meanwhile those bone idle, subsidised sods in Irish Rail are increasing parking fees by up to 30% next week.

A bit off topic but don't see the need starting a new thread for such a basic question. For foreigners from E.U member states who immigrate to Ireland.. can they immediately apply for job seekers allowance/benefit or must they have been employed in Ireland at some stage before being able to qualify. And finally, how long can they receive this welfare for? My friend mentioned a limit of 12 months but I didnt think its something which ceases.. unless of course employment is found..

thanks

Although I'm beginning to wonder if the documentary itself had anything about the Luas, or rather just using the tram system as a conduit to propogate the stereotypical social divisions in the capital in particular and the country in general.

Not to worry - the unemployed can talk about whatever they like through the night.

And you as repetitive, insular and narrow minded as the drivvle that defined you from the start.

Too many arty camera shots and not enough substance on the people who actually use the trams,bar the typical stereotypes of the posh kids going shopping in Dundrum and the homeless lad going to collect his methadone in the city centre.Nothing about the differences LUAS has made to the city for residents/businesses along both lines etc.

Pity they didn't ask why the lines weren't linked when the system was built in the first place too.

Lazy stuff from RTE,unsurprisingly.Obviously nobody in Montrose bothered watching any of the BBC's recent (excellent) productions about public transport in London and the UK.
