The reason why I'm pointing this out is that Im a civil libertarian and I believe it's none of the states business where I go, especially if Its to the CTA or The EFTA areas!

Employees have returned earning 85% of their wages. Anyone I've spoken too suggest business is the same before lockdown, so who's subsidising who exactly. A false economy has been created here. Lockdown costs, restart costs are separate matter with ample supports for busineses in place or coming. We now have a scenario where an enormous amount of businesses are trading normally whilst having their entire payroll covered by government, WTF is that all about. A little objectivity would be nice rather than suggesting PUP recepients are scroungers.

Like it's no1 fault they are on the PUP, I've paid for the trip from my own money I earned before pandemic. So basically I have to save money for all the expenses while I'm away as country won't be giving me a single cent but theres thousand people stuck outside and they're receiving money.

Do you want that? South County Dublin may be different but there are vast stretches of the country where the SW system ensures local economies survive. I would know people who despite being able to, never did a formal day's work in their lives. Now at first glance they need a kick up their holes! But on reflection there's nothing happening economically where they live. Some never did a nixer!
