It is reported the Government is considering a time limit for social welfare recipients to find an alternative to being on the dole.
According to reports in the Irish Daily Mail, those on social welfare will have their payments cut if they do not meet the deadline.
The report says that every unemployed person in the country will be given what is termed a "prediction of exit" date under the plan to be unveiled next week.
It is understood that if they fail to make progress by this date, they will be called to an interview to explain why and could have their benefits cut if they fail to cooperate.
