As if teachers don't get enough with their huge pensions and long holidays, give something to charity instead of people who get well compensated for their work.

its only primary teachers that get gifts. secondary get abuse.

the gifts can be quite lavish.

Joe has recently become an expert on school books

why do teachers need extra gifts? I hope they're declaring them for tax purposes

is EVERYONE on the sick??

Has anyone on "The Sick" ever actually got well? From what I see once you go On The Sick you stay on it for life or at least until move to the OAP.
We must have a lot of very incompetent GP's out there .... thought we were supposed to train the best doctors in the world - clearly they have a very poor success rate!

getting on the sick is a big winner, once on there will be no questions asked for along time, sometime years ...

Not being sick at all is an even bigger winner, frankly.

RadioRetro

Wait until the sting has finished, Joe, before opening your gob!

Ooh, it's "Agree with everyone" Guy!

ThisRegard

In the meantime someone else longer on the list is getting bumped further down because of busy body Joe and his harranging of the social protection guys.

Fuinseog

I hope social welfare will meet breda off the bus in waterford. its the least they can do.

A mate got snapped speeding but got off because the summons said he'd been snapped in two locations 25km apart at the same time! Shoddy paperwork, Joe, it's a disgrace.

At least the likes of Joe and Marian don't complain all the time like teachers! I have two friends who are teachers and whenever they start moaning about increments I remind them of the 21 days holidays and unpaid overtime I have to contend with in the private sector, one of them spent 5 weeks in the US and Argentina last year the other travelled in central America for a month and is taking a 2 year "career break" next year, after which he can just slip back into his job.

Even if it was true that you "get everything handed to you" while on the sick (it's not true, incidentally), it's still infinitely better not to be sick at all.

I don't doubt it is better not to sick, I just ask if anyone has heard of anyone ever coming off "The Sick" other than to move to the Old Age Pension? Personally I have never come across anyone who was on the sick and is now back in gainful employment & I just query the apparent lack of successful medical outcome.

the area of Dublin I live in is full of folks like frank Gallagher and the dude from the Royal Family. they can actually work but have been living off the system for so long they could not be bothered.

And Frank Gallagher is the poster boy for that kind of living. Also its been so long the prob couldn't work and would end up out of a job in less than a week. They need intervention after about 6 months on "the sick" rather then 10 years of no one in the social asking them some questions about why they are not work.
