    I used to benefit from my mother’s fuel allowance, rightly I should have been asked to contribute but I suppose it would have complicated the tax/welfare situation even further. One thing people often fail to do is claim the very small allowance for dependent relative. Better than nothing, though you have to remember to update Revenue if/when relative dies.

    They did have it, I'm guessing a Tragic death without going onto too much detail , insurers refused to pay out

    It is a legal requirement if a mortgage taken out, however, in cases were an applicant has a defined illness, it gets tricky, requiring a number of quotes , ultimately mortgage provider supplying it with caveats and very expensive.

    I only half listen to this show, but when I do it haunts me.... mainly because I only get half a story and I honest think people are only giving half stories.

    First what is your employment income like. Then lets look at what we are talking about.

    Thousands of people from various counties in Ireland will descend on the capital for the 2nd time in 4 months, to campaign for redress for their crumbling homes.

    The 1st protest was totally ignored by LiveLine, despite many many people emailing the show, contacting their FB and Twitter. And it supposedly a caller-driven show.

    I have no doubt it won't be the main item tomorrow either. In fact, wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't mentioned at all.

    There will probably be some major item more important of course. Last time it was long grass around graves.

    Liveline is not really a Half Way House but more

    A Half Truth House

    Callers are frequently economical with the truth as it suits them.

    Might create an all-go-rid-em to determine likelihood to get on show, eg “to dial or not to dial”

    The one that was on today about a letter from her sons school was on twitter yesterday so I'd guess researcher Richy was on to her on that platform to get her on.

    It had nothing to do with the show content.

    Next to get it interactive for use as an App pre dialling de Liveline studio. My plan is to set up autodial 1850715815 if the criteria are fulfilled.

    App will be available in your AppStore shortly. €1.99 to save you the cost of wasted phone calls.

    The only chance of him covering the Mica redress today is if he covers it in the context of the bad bad louts from the country causing delays all over Dublin, trying to do a Richard Madeley on that English eco-warrior the other week.

    I genuinely do hope he tries it because it would be absolutely hilarious to see him get a bakers dozen of eggs in the face, but it's not likely.

    If the protesters delay his Juurney into work (75 minutes) he might give it a fleeting mention so to speak.

    Cawlur, if you are on Jobseekers then you are able to work or to seek work and should be doing same. If you are sick or injured and thus unable to work or look for work then you aren't entitled to Jobseekers as, well, you aren't able to seek work, are you? That's what Illness Benefit is about; it's for those who are temporarily ill and unable to work or look for same. Protected with two schemes for not working and it's still not enough for her 😒

    There’s just the small matter of getting it interactive with my chosen algorithm, so to speak. Boards still haven’t got their new site properly interactive yet. I’m still learning and this is a fun way to learn, but bogged down in backend atm. At least no infinite loops have shown up yet, unlike Boards.

    and so the preview of whats on today was on the Ronan Collins show, and no mention of Mica protest.

    Not surprised at all, not sure what his beef is with the campaign?

    Maybe its because there are much more important things to talk about like:

    • someone couldn't do their driving test cos they trimmed the insurance disc
    • someone at school can't wear their blazer cos it hasn't got the crest on it.

    The show is an embarrassment at this stage.

    If I were a Mica campaigner I'd be corralling my buddies to ring up under the pretense of whatever other nonsense story he has today, and then ambush him once I were let through on air.

    A full hour and 15 of bad lines.

    Slowing down the M50 won't do their cause any favours, it will piss off any support they have in Dublin. They would have been better off to blockade the National Childers Hospital construction site.
