30 years on the Dole

Ballycommon Mast

Yerman in the news today who was 30 years on the Dole, I wonder did he ever have to engage with fas and more recently that Seetec crowd ?

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

Edit: I am slightly envious of his ability to duck & dive.

Whats his story? Is he learning disabled or sick?

I had heard that it had become much more difficult since the early 2010s to remain on the Dole indefinitely but perhaps they don't bother with people of a certain age, over 40 maybe?

Have you no links to this? Are you confusing it with the man claimed his parents pension for 30 years?

No ,they do bother with people over 40, some people they just right off like this fella, getting him a job and him keeping it very slim.

Not so. Friend of mine, in his late fifties was put on some scheme or other.

"scheme" now that must be one of the words that describes Irishness...

Be cheaper to keep him on the dole than stick him in prison

€70,000 per annum to house an inmate. Crazy.

It means I don't know the fine details. Suffice to say its dole organised.
