People had loans when they had jobs and the loans do not disappear when the job does unfortunately. Also rent differs depending on where you live if its a house share etc. I for one will not be moving into an 8 man houseshare and getting rid of my car because Im on the dole. Mightaswell go get a gun and blow me fukn head off right now if thats the case. Still laughing at the suggestion of buying frivilous crap unless you count personal hygiene products as frivilous as theyd be the biggest irregular outlay. Here lads Im off to sell me car move back with mammy and use vinegar and butter to wash meself:rolleyes: FUX SAKE. K Im off before I really loose it.

I have a mate I live it and he has more bloody money than I do and I work 45 hours a week. He has his rent payed for him by the government and pays 30 euro a month himself, and then the extra 200 a week as normal and this is without lifting a finger all he does all day is sleep, eat, smoke and eat and complain about being busy if he has to walk 5 mins to the shop at some point in the next 4 hours. Do you think the government will be forced to cut the dole payments if the national debt and unemployment keeps rising?

My friend is in that position, didn't bother to apply for college and now can afford to spend €210 a WEEK on nightclubs, taxis, take-aways, weed etc. etc. while other people his age are being punished for trying to learn and actually get a job. No money, €1500 a year registration fees, and possible fees next year. Sometimes it seems everyone but the government know how to run this country. Scrap the dole for under 20's living with their parents.

The dole is well too high,as mentioned already its about a quarter of the amount in Britain and i doubt inflation is that high!As mentioned earlier,it should be paid on the basis of receipts..with a small miscellaneous amount..This way the money is spent responsibly and effectively in todays economic climate..i know too many people getting dole and student grants,that are just going straight into pub everyday..

Im well paid up on me stamps and will be claiming anything thats going.And I wont be getting rid a me car cos people might think dole folk shouldnt have one.
Stark wrote: » I've no problem with people who've paid their stamps having basic comforts while they look for work, but I'd still consider a car to be a luxury item and I would agree with the sentiment that long term welfare recipients shouldn't be having the State buying cars for them. Plenty of Irish people snubbed their noses at available jobs during the course of this decade as they'd lose comforts by working instead of signing on.

I wonder how many people commute to dublin every week for a minimum wage job. That's hilarious. At the end of the day, you are completely 100% wrong. Doors thataway, gtfo ---->
