Christmas bonus for welfare recipients not only restored but increased

screamer

From 85 to 100 percent. Ah fair play regina, sure why give Job Dodgers any incentive to get out of bed in the morning and do an honest days work for an honest days pay..... Talk about an own goal

Sure off to the dole queue with yourself then if they have it so good...

Apt name for the OP.

Glad to hear it. Expensive time of year.

Couldn't care less what you guys think. It's pure disgraceful to give more money to people who won't work from our already over generous and over stretched welfare fund. Pensioners, disabled and genuine job seekers no problem but the work shy wasters, not a chance.

It was impossible for university educated workers to figure out how much 85% was. Much easier when you tell them to double the figure. And it will be the pensioners who get the most of it.

You seem like a reasonable, well balanced individual.

To OP has a point. Pensioners, carers, the disabled should be more than looked after. The able bodied who just don’t wish to work are the ones who should “FOAD” as you put it.

Top laughs! Lads in budget 18, a worker on 30,000 received a w1.50 weekly usc reduction. The welfare warriors an extra fiver a week and I expect the same this budget. Well, you have an option, renua... or vote for more of the same!

If we did away with the whole lot of them, what was saved in a year probably wouldn't pay the social welfare bill for a week.

No it’s a great use of the money. The akaconh health service , infrastructure , housing , world class national debt , Can Defo do with the few hundred million less thanks going to be sent up in smoke on the welfare increases !

Or on BTEA, "activation schemes" etc? How do you plan on identifying the exact amount who "dont want to work" (what <2% of the polulation) and isolating them to remove the bonus? Or do you just like having someone to look down your nose at?

Is it actually called a bonus? Is it not called something less insulting to workers who pay for it that don't themselves get a bonus, like a supplementary payment.

Why don't workers get more tax credits for Christmas from the government as a bonus? I'd don't get a bonus myself, you'd see ice in hell before that happens.

People are working and struggling just as much as the next person on welfare. Just cause your working doesn't mean you don't need a hand. You'd be a euro over the thresholds for help from working and its tuff luck from the great elite above us.

Instead of €1:50 to workers and €5 to those on dole how about spending the tax money on public services, housing or job investments. Spend money to make money makes everyone's life better.

So €400 euro cash in hand just before Christmas from the dole office (actually probably 600 because i'm sure there will have to be an advance too?)

It's not right, simple as that. There is no moral or ethical argument for it when you think of the majority workers many of which are really struggling.

You will want to sit down before you hear this.

Ready?

Tax money is already spend on public services.
€61,000,000,000's worth.

Yeah, pull your head out of your ar*e there. There are plenty of long, long term recipients of the dole who don’t want to work. They simply don’t. And it’s the rest of us footing the bill for them.

So lads... what are ye going to spend your hard earned bonus on? :pac:

Lets bash working people.

I wonder what percentage of workers will get €600 tax free in to their hands just before Christmas?

I was literally thinking this today. All the cuts we made, efforts made by all and they are all been reversed. Unless I missed something but are we not seriously still in a bad way as in we still owe out billions on billions of Euro.

I really can't understand it, we are literally walking into it again. FG at the wheel this time, FF on the hand break. If FF had any respect for us they would stop this mess for the sake of the people. Instead they want FG to create a similar mess so they are even.

The lads in Europe and Rest of the world must be looking on in disbelief at this ****.

It's like once one group got pay restored, they the whole house came down. No it's just constant indirect taxes or adjusting old ones, and the same group in the middle again constantly taking the hit. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if Bertie was put back behind the wheel again.

It’s an appallingly run country. When the **** hits the fan again , lol! The last time national debt was minuscule, this time it’s off the wall. Next time round they really will be making “hard decisions “!
