Government considers dole time limit

[mer]

haha id say u might get a mars bar and a can of coke

but i do think in the celtic tiger years this should have been introduce and also a cap on how many children are payed for by the state, if u cannot afford your children stop breeding! i am not talking about hard working families who have now fallen on hard times but the ones who are work shy recession or not and sit on there holes breeding to get more benifits and bigger councils houses!

the working and tax contributor in this country gets f all when they need it but when u have not worked a day in your life you get everything handed to you, and if ur a 17 year old girl your nearly encourged to have a child and be an unwed mother its a joke!

i may get slammed for the child benifit remark but the world has enough people,
if you have no job, no money, dont have kids until you can afford to provide for them! and yes accidents happen
but come on i know of girls who sleep around, who have never had sex WITH a condom!

but then again i am a believer that schools should give condoms out, there having sex at least be safe and give girls advice on contraceptives such as pill etc, this country is fair too unfair to working class faimilys who try to better themselves and too soft on those who abuse the system!

also i find it hilarious in this day in age, with rampent stds, aids etc that condoms in this country are still taxed as a luxury item???? fecking madness

if everybody thought like that tho there would be no mer i would not exist lol
but i know what your saying hun, i know lots of people who are popping babies out like water balloons and there not even able to look after themselfs!! i know people who just sit there all day a bit like myself somedays lol but i look around and as it is a small town there is fuck all jobs here, and i cant exactly move anywhere with no money to find anything! it makes ya sick tho with all those lazy bastards if they wernt so fucking lazy there might be more dole money in the pot lol its fucking hard living off 100 a week and its not something im proud of i dont go out drinking or have fun cause then i wud not be able to see any ladies lol somedays you just feel like blown your head off cause feel your worth nothing, nothing even tesco will not employ me or dunnes or xtravision or boots or sportsavers or lifestyle sports or spar or the bowling alley or cineama and not even mcdonalds and many many more too much to mention!! i quess thats what i get for living in such a shitty small town

Govt 'considers time limit for dole recipients'

Tuesday, January 24, 2012 - 08:49 AM


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.

i'm not so sure. the troika is running the show here now, they come up
with the dole. north of the border pays two people what we pay one...

[Monkeynut]

About bloody time too! Most other European countries do it so why can we. It might also stop social security numbers been sold to illegal immigrants as they would be worth less. Ireland even has dole offices in East European countries to pay dole to people who used to work here .... FFS

During the boom years this should have been in. It's crazy now the measures that have been introduced. Where is the work now? Even people with jobs have had their hours cut.

I agree there are people abusing the system, but there are a lot of people genuinely down on their luck needing help.
We need a serious overhaul of this and much of the public service. Too many overpaid managers and not enough people on the ground doing the work.

[itstimenow]

wat arent you sure about? that the recession isnt the pples fault or that pple years on da dole wont be employed or that der idea wont work?

theres going to be some stubborn cases, no doubt, (nothing to be prould of). i think the message
is: 'no more easy ride'. they litterally hassled people off the dole with similar schemes in the UK.
