Kenneth dosent get Economics if everybody had to work and there was no dole then wages would collapse as people begged for Work .Kenneth did you ever apply for HAP or a medical card .If you are paying maintainance out of youe meger earnings you probably qualify for the HAP .Did you ever go on the Council housing list ?The system works for all if you know how to use it .

No, I never applied fer HAP.
No, I never applied fer a medical card,
Yes, I still pay maintainance,
No, I have never been on a Council housing list.

So far in life I have always managed to pay my own way.
And with a good VHI plan I hope never to be a burden on the state/taxpayer.

Ken its not about paying your own way .If you qualify based on your contributions you qualify .About 80% of people getting Housing Assistance Payments are in full time employment .Dont know why you are not on the Housing List .Where are you going to live and how are you going to afford it when you stop working .

No harm in thinking about life after 65/70. You don't want to be driving around doing the 'graveyard' shift (hint, hint) when you're 70-something.

And if you end up in hospital or a nursing home without planning it, there might be fuk all money for your kids if the State takes a good chunk of it!

Plenty of cabbies in sheltered living.

Environment, Climate and Transport Minister Eamon Ryan will seek to give himself emergency powers to take control of the oil supply in Ireland today.

He is bringing a draft Oil Emergency Contingency Bill 2022 to Government, which — in the event of a national crisis only — he would take charge of oil stocks, systems and provision across the country.
