If I’m reading this correctly, only jobseekers unemployed longer than 12 months are eligible. Surely that’s backwards??
Giving out free money doesn’t bring the cost of living down. All these measures are counter-productive. Increased discretionary income results in higher prices.
One off payments are band aid solutions and largely appeasement, plough the money into proper solutions instead.
Hip hip hooray for another double dole, thank you Mr Taxpayer
Half the population is on the dole it seems, ??
Maternity benefit recipients miss out yet again. Does the government have any idea how expensive babies are? Especially when they’re small – formula, nappies, wipes, sterilising bottles twice a day in the microwave 11 mins at a time. Washing machines going daily, sometimes dryers too.
I know women who are really struggling. Child benefit goes nowhere.
Fucking nice one. Thanks
That money comes from taxes it is not free money from politicians. Mind you.
I fully endorse the concept of unemployment benefit but a one week payment of 440 euros for those on it longer than 12 months is lunacy. It’s the equivalent of 30 hrs at minimum wage or whatever.
Just did Saturday last week so half going to taxman enjoy 🤦
Feeling very appreciated by all the dole merchants. What a load of shite..
Waheey. I’m gonna celebrate this by having 3 of those 2 litre bottles of cider you get in Tesco this weekend.
This is like punching someone in the nose and saying “jaysus that must b very painful, I’ll give you a pain killer so the next punch won’t be as bad”
Long term unemployed being rewarded. Crazy
Backwards country. Only people who don’t work and don’t contribute get any social reward. You work, pay taxes, don’t have a criminal record, don’t live on the dole, you get… nothing. Ridiculous. We are a country, not a charity. Endemic intergenerational problem.
