There should be a responsibility on the staff of social welfare offices to identify those who are looking for employment from those who have no interest in finding employment and who would happily spend the rest of their lives doing nothing and lifting the €200 a week. Plenty of the latter existed even in the times of high employment. Anyway, distinguish between the two, and refuse to pay the latter.

From far and wide, is it? Must need some kind of transport and public transport doesn't reach all places. Of those cars these people drive, ever thought that the cars were bought when the had employment?

What thrifty people they are. Well done to them, making one trip to shops for shopping per week and only using a taxi for that. Unlike some who would be going to the shop at least once a day in their private car/suv/jeep.

OMG, someone went on holiday to Egypt! Stop the freakin' press. Having seen the price of holidays in this country and that of Egypt, it works out cheaper to go to Egypt, ffs.
Did this couple go on holidays to Egypt every year? Or just last year?

Hook, line and sinker.

With average rents going down we should see a reduction in rent supliments anyway.

Patrick bateman no wonder your party doesnt exist anymore your off your head, its people like you who have this country screwed not the people on the dole.

How about people who get themselves fired in order to live off the dole?

Well, you can expect English wasters to come and sponge here when our dole is nearly four times what they'd get at home.

Hmmm. Bit much when they start b*tching about all the bloody immigrants though.

You have a point there!
At the same time, I am concerned about the outflow of revenue into social welfare provision for immigrants, especially as regards payments for children living overseas. And the issue of welfare differentiation - the same gulf that no doubt attracted our racist friend to Ireland - is undoubtedly contributing to the fact that tens of thousands of Eastern Europeans who migrated here for work and are now unemployed have not yet left for home.

Why the concern about overseas children?
