    When I moved to Finland I had 3 months to find work, luckily I got work so there was no problems, but nobody came looking for me and I didn’t let the Finnish government know I had gotten work.
    Theres ways around getting work, in Finland they have a really hard time keeping the Russians out, the Finnish much like us have the exact same problem and talk amongst themselves that they are far too soft on “foreigners” and are also seen as a welfare state. It was fairly easy to integrate without doing much.
    Straight to the immigration office queued up for 3 hours to tell them I had arrived with my finnish gf at the time and was looking for work they stamped a form and I had 3 months. I brought this form to another office and I was given a temporary social security number, with this number I opened a bank account and then I could apply for jobs. But as I said after I got a job I didn’t actually inform anyone. I just worked away and kept the head down. But I probably should have told them I had gotten work.


    Also a guy I knew From Sligo was living in Finland like a waster with his Finnish missus for 2 years jobless but was studying or something. He found it difficult to find work. Never actually met the guy, can’t remember how I connected with him maybe Facebook or something. Not sure if he was getting his dole or getting finnish dole. He wasn’t getting booted out though.

    However, if someone from EU is here 10 years and settled and loses their job, then it's only fair that they be treated equally to "natives". Not immediately deported

    Apologies didn't see the post ,

    Totally agree if you have being working and supporting yourself or family long term and lose your job 10 years down the line you should be entitled to government supports ,

    But the idea of new arrivals declaring themselves homelessness and unemployed and getting long term supports is rediculous imo ,

    Could you explain that please as it does.

    It really doesn't, Ireland has a habitual residence condition for access to social welfare benefits.

    More information on that here https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/irish_social_welfare_system/social_assistance_payments/residency_requirements_for_social_assistance_in_ireland.html

    It's quite surprising to me that often the same people who complain about freeloading immigrants milking out system, are quite often the same people complaining that Irish people returning from abroad can't access benefits for this exact reason.

    Sure, there may be problematic citizens but as long as they're Irish we will deal with them ourselves.
    Its better to motivate people that are already here than to import people that will just add to the general burden of society. Their own society will have to do that.

    Well you won't find many to disagree with you on that :)


    What can irritate me is that people blame the EU for it. EU doesn't force it. I think that there is a certain level of taking the piss that can be tolerated. That's no harm. But if it annoys a person, the target of their ire should not be Brussels


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,117 ✭✭✭malinheader


    And immigrants coming here expect that?
    If you really think so, take out every worker in spars centras and huge amounts of IT industry and you’ll be left with tens of thousands of empty jobs.
    Jobs a lot of our Irish won’t do by the way.

    Well perhaps it's time some of our own lifetime benefits claimants were offered these jobs that you say they won't do. If turned down then stop there benefit's.
    I am not picking on migrants only I am highlighting the soft and easy way of life our benefit system has become,

    2 posts! Hello:)

    Illegal immigrants and asylum seekers aren’t allowed take jobs here.

    But you know that I’m sure.

    Illegal immigrants

    Shouldn’t be here, send them packing!

    Agreed. But it is all some working people are left with and less after there rent, mortgage and maybe travel expenses are deducted from their pay. Not to mention a trip to the doctor with a child and then medication with no medical card.
    Self employed is even worse, some weeks you would be glad of 205 euro.

    They're bypassing immigration and presenting as homless read the qoute "Do not have the right to reside in Ireland" you read it again.

    I know too well. Just closed my business 5 months ago after 6 years and had to sign on. It’s horrific how self employed are treated by the state but by social welfare especially. but that’s another topic. Fact is 205 isn’t even a living standard once you’ve paid all the things you mentioned.
    You can’t pay for the things you mentioned in a lot of cases. Can’t afford to go the doctor or late on the electricity bill and on and on. I don’t even have WiFi or any of that. Can’t scford it.
    Then apply for hundreds of jobs trying to explain a 6 year long gap on your cv and a failed business.

    Personally right now I’m trapped. And I’ve been luckier still than most. So I completely understand how others get trapped. Especially if they’re born into that generational dole life poorer scenario. I have empathy for it.

    You can’t bypass immigration to get into the country. You can’t bypass the system at all. People have to engage in it in order to get the money/ free houses you seek to think they all have.
    So they don’t have feee houses

    Getting up at 630 am and going to work everyday , paying a mortgage and everything else is no easy living either.

    PS my tax pays for that 205 each week too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,523 ✭✭✭Sonny noggs

    Of course you can. Are you aware how easy it is to go from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland? Are all border crossings manned by immigration control? FFS.

    No I'm just a normal tax paying contributor. There are plenty of us but we are being taken for a ride.

    Where is your gratitude to the working men and women who pay for everything?

    So we have a new group to complain about. Those actually in social housing.

    Right.

    *or maybe it comes down to council doesn’t it? They won’t collect the rent but they won’t allow more housing to be built cos they can’t afford it.

    There’s a link there I’m sure. Can’t put my finger on it.

    And no way to evict those in arrears, so no incentive for them to pay the pittance they are being charged.

    Not to me personally. I'm only a small cog in a society of contributors.

    Are you a fellow creditor or are you a debitor?

    I had to sell my laptop because I had to close my business and couldn’t find work. Now I managed to buy a phone. But go you

    How many bash poor people threads does boards need?

    Maybe we should ask the mods to merge them all?
