Please tell me that was a pun otherwise I'm an idiot for laughing that much. :P

In all seriousness, you actually know (or knew) girls whose objective was to have kids just for the benefits?

Screw you, I was out of contract in 2008, used all my savings and got a loan to do a postgrad down Trinity. No parental or govt support. I nearly went bankrupt. Then after that I got rejected for about 150jobs. In October after much blood, sweat and tears I got a job, a good job. It pisses me off that there are tonnes of lazy feckers in Ireland, who don't even apply for jobs nor go into training.

You know nothing about our friend.
We've tried to encourage all the time, sending him links to jobs, encouraging him to apply.
Those avenues have failed.
His parents don't care about his employment situation. He's very fortunate that he has educated friends there to motivate him.

For some a bit of public embarasment may cause him to get off his backside.

Who are you to judge?

:rolleyes:


And also, your mate's a loser.

A friend of mine - Kevin is celebrating his 1000th day on the dole today, he's been 2.5yrs+ out of work.
In that time he has lived at home, (he's 28), and has applied for in total about 10jobs.
He has even admitted that if the dole were lower he might actually work harder to find a job.
He was never bother to go into training either.

Do we have a massive problem with our social welfare system if this is the case?

How bout the govt. offer €500 to someone who finds a job after being on the dole for less than 6mths?

Does my mate have any hope in building a future career at all?

He must be a bum, If FG do anything they need to sort out social welfare as a career of choice. I see loads of fellas around here moaning about the recession and they have been receiving UB for years whilst working. They can go out to the pubs several nights a week, keep a good care under them and raise a family. Madness

Obviously if you're scamming then you should get kicked off. I don't think anyone would say "go work full time, have a family and scam the dole".

Kev goes to the pub all the time!

You can stay on UA indefinitely.
Lots of people have been on it for years!

Means tested? - If you're over 25 you're parents income don't matter.
Its as if many unemployed have tonnes of cash in the bank either.
My mate Kev doesn't own a house.

You get UA as long as you're looking for jobs, although they don't really check

Day 1,050 ... Kev has been out of bed for fourteen minutes and is having breakfast. He is not aware of the weekly nominations yet and is trawling through the newspaper calssifieds...

[/Geordie accent]

EDIT - it's actually only day 1,036. Give the man a break.

Kev is off to Canada next week. Finally he's off the dole! We have estimated that he cost the state in excess of €33k over the last 3years. Great to see taxpayers money going to good use.

JONJO THE MISER

Fair Play to him.

So he must have been saving his dole! How could he afford to do that? It's too high! rabble!

I do'nt know how anyone could be on the dole for 2 and a half years without loosing their sanity. What does your mate do all day every day?

I work 9-5 Mon-Fri and even I get bored at the weekends when theres nothing going on.

Well if he spent most of the time down the pub, he probably gave most of it back
