Im off as a illness other then Covid-19 or other reasons (including Alcohol related)

Is laziness an illness? 

Haven't worked in a few days.  Watching High Fidelity (TV show starring Zoe Kravitz) and listening to some good music afterwards.  Very enjoyable    I'm also hoping the amount of alcohol I'm drinking will kill any viruses floating around.  Its purely medicinal, I swear

I'm working reduced hours and shifts



That's me working full time!!

Just dont get sick. Down Jamses Hospital this morning never knew at least half of it is Private in the front door everything to the Left is Pay as you Go .Our kid waited 6 months for a Cancer Doctor who grunted so she paid for a Private consultation took three days for an appointment .All good but big difference between six months and three days waiting to see a Doctor .

Seriously though. If this got completely out of hand, would we as self employed drivers be entitled to any kind of social security pay. I know I was entitled to fukk all when I was sick, and out for nearly 3 months

Don't we pay mandatory 4% PRSI - has to be good for something?

OTOH, what about the blackmail option?  How about 10,000 taxi drivers driving around Dublin threatening the possibility of infecting any unfortunate person getting into our taxis!  And the next passenger.  And the next passenger...  F*ck some teenagers in a music room on a Saturday.  We could do some real damage

Let's go out with a bang lads!!

Why do you think I kept asking for the Taxithingey to issue instructions .If they told us to withdraw our service then a case could be made that they were withdrawing their permission for us to use the Licence they issue .Making us unemployed .Then you sign on and get a Letter for the poverty officer while they process and refuse you but the Poverty officer cannot make an arbutory decision he would have to pay you .
