    No that only applies to secondary school students. I know someone who graduated from Maynooth and got the dole right away while waiting to go into their masters in September.

    Think you are correct. From here:

    http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/social_welfare_payments/unemployed_people/jobseekers_allowance.html

    Students

    If you have just left school you cannot get Jobseeker's Allowance. To get Jobseeker's Allowance you must have been out of school for three months and you must be at least 18 years of age.
    Third-level students cannot claim Jobseeker's Allowance or Benefit while they are studying full-time. This disqualification also applies to the summer holiday periods between academic years (unless you are a mature student). However once you have finished college permanently you can claim a jobseeker's payment if you cannot find work. This is also the case if you leave college without finishing your course.

    I am. I also was able to claim jobseekers immediately from the day I deferred college last year once I gave them a letter saying I was no longer a student.

    Though I didn't get it in the end cos my mum earns €8 too much :pac:

    Had an exam today where the lecturers changed the exam layout without any prior warning whatsoever. Granted, it wasn't a huge change but it was a change nonetheless. If someone was flustered enough it could have resulted in a scenario where they didn't answer enough questions. Not cool!

    Worst is when they put these in the notes you're supposed to print out, you don't realise they're there and then you waste all your ink on the stupid pointless pictures.... :mad:

    Definitely happened. My friend works there so was telling me earlier. I don't know what happened though. Someone must have been really desperate for coffee!

    Ironically, the post saying that we can all just deal with your double posting was not, in fact, a double post.

    Regarding the Starbucks incident, I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything...


    Anyone need some cheap Starbucks coffee, get your cheap coffee.
