I tried to ask in my local SW office and they were so offensive,
and said "you will get what everyone else gets" without going into figures.

I want to do an "internship" but I might be better off staying on the dole and informally just working for free maybe 2 days a week with a company for experience without being on any "scheme"

I have a PAYE job for 1 or 2 days a week,
and work as a contactor for 0 to 7 days a week.

I am on Casual Jobseekers benefit and complete the yellow docket every week.

It's hard to make a living....

You will retain your current social welfare allowance plus an additional €50 per week top-up which will be paid by the Department Social Protection (DSP). This top-up will be paid for the duration of the internship.

Taking up an internship other than under the JobBridge scheme may affect your eligibility for Jobseekers payment.
