    If that's the case why are many fast food joints now recieving over 500 applicants to jobs?

    I honestly think the bulk of that is made up of non-nationals. From my own experience, most Irish people on the dole think they're above that kinda thing.

    Alot of people claiming the dole would rather sit at home than work in a shop or work in McDonalds or something, the dole has to be an disincentive at the moment it isnt, over €800 a month for doing nothing, ridic!!

    I am sick of this attitude, I am on the dole and trying my ass off to get a job and no luck. There not even hiring in McDonalds!!

    Now I have to wait till August to (hopefully) get my college course and till then unless I get a job, which is unlikely, I will only have €100 a week?

    It's easy for you to say that when you have a job or financial support.

    We got to a stage where people took out mortgages to pay for cars and holidays and swimming pools.

    There are jobs out there, you just don't wanna do them, because we've become comfortable from the Celtic Tiger and think we're above serving Big Macs.



    That's not true, did you not hear that news story last month where hundreds of people turned up for 35 openings for a Burger King in Galway? Many of them were out of work professionals. People I know who are out of work are literally working to do anything, flip Big Macs, clean cinema toilets, you name it, they'll do it...but so will 300 other people!

    OK, with the budget over, "as it happens" isn't really happening anymore.

    This is going to descend into a mess.
