    Well don’t you think we should be educated about this stuff when we are in secondary school. Most people pick up their first job in their teens so don’t understand how stuff as important as this is not taught in schools.

    Anyone can log into the Social Welfare site to see what is available. The schools have enough to be doing, without running classes about welfare.

    How is it "not right"? Assuming what you say is true its not their fault if Irish people are ignorant of their entitlements and if anything it should be a kick up the arse that someone who moved here and whose first language is probably not English knows more employment law than the natives.


    How hard can it be to pick up a phone and ask what you are entitled to? Or browse the internet. It couldn't be easier. It's not rocket science.

    only country in the world that pays more to be long term unemployed than short term unemployed. And fianna gail have stood over more reductions in entitlements to short term unemployed taxpayers since getting in while continuing if not increasing the entitlement s of the troublesome vocal long term unemployed who are entitled to everything without contributing to anything...absolute laugh....how dumb are the irish to continuously give such a huge vote to a clearly corrupt organization like fg.............

    Irish people can log into the Revenue site to find out about tax.

    Where you are talking about? Name places.

    Also name sectors

    The midlands, the south east, and anywhere north of the Dublin - Galway line for starters (in other words all the other areas of Ireland that you and the government like to pretend don't exist) and any sector other than IT or very low paid hotel/catering jobs, but in these areas even these jobs are scarcer.

    Now answer what you were asked, why do all these brilliant well paid vacant jobs (according to you) have to be in Galway, Limerick and Dublin ?

    Are those people in training courses showing as unemployed?

    I put a link earlier on which has lots of information. Some schemes pay dole to people who are in education and training. Including some in mainstream university courses. The biggest scheme is Community Employment, 21,000 out of the 51,000. If these people make themselves attractive to employers, there are vacancies everywhere.

    The only fair way to measure it would be to say everyone not in work is unemployed. So count everyone of working age who is at school/university as unemployed.

    Nobody said the well paid jobs had to be in Galway, Limerick and Dublin. But if you've paid any attention to issues in the country, the country has an infrastructure that was traditionally built around major cities so most employment tends to be centered in certain areas(huge issue tbh) , in larger companies particularly. This has nothing to do with the dreaded foreigners.

    You seem to be incapable of having a genuine discussion. We offered real world examples and you got annoyed by this. The most major examples of skilled professions that are underpaid tend to be within the public sector around doctors and nurses. But it's pretty dishonest to blame our government being tight on foreigners.

    Anyway, it's pretty clearly wasted time to attempt a discussion with you.

    Oh I don’t know maybe the fact he owes millions and when he was made bankrupt complaining how he had to live on €200 a week. Absolute gangster.

    Far easier ways of making 100k than getting elected to the Dail. Tough job and massive hours.

    We need to move away from this "jobs, jobs, jobs" thing. Why is more jobs always good? I get it if we were in a recession it would be good but is it good now when we see an announcement of more jobs in Dublin?

    The supply isn't in Ireland though, that's the point. The demand is. Plenty of jobs but not enough skilled workers. Hence, companies looking elsewhere. A Galway company recently went to Australia to recruit as they can't fill the jobs here.

    How about reducing demand then?

    Reduce demand, take pressure off public transport, housing etc. Allow people living here to have an increase in the quality of their lives rather than squeezing more in and making everyones quality less.
