Still foolhardy enough to work?

[Vikkiz]

Busy or not belker,they are the ones who declared tuesday as payday.if they felt they could not deliver,then they should not nominated that date.we the public did not suggest that date ,they did

Ill try again to explain .Now sit up straight cross your arms and listen (for a change ) The government COULD NOT MAKE PAYMENTS .Oh really Why is that John .Ok Ill tell you .Before the government can spend money they must pass a money bill in the Dail .Really ? Yes Really this is to stop a minister passing a SI which the Constitution allows and Paying His missus or boyfriend a few Billion which would actually be legal .So to prevent ministers purloining funds ALL monies spent by the Government must be in the Budget or in a Money Bill which must be passed by the Dail .You will remember the Dail was recalled to vote on the Bailout after Lenihan announced it on the 7oc news .The reason you did not get paid was because it would be illegal to pay you without a Money Bill first being passed .I hope this helped .

Explain why some driver GOT PAID, whilst others didn’t?  Were they paid illegally?
Can we now sue the government because they paid people before the “money bill” was passed into Law??

I would hazard a guess that drivers (who filled out the postal form correctly) between 13-19 March got their 203 last Tuesday.
And drivers who applied since the 19th or shortly after will be paid the 350 this Tuesday.

Depends on where you live I'd say.Each welfare office has varying amounts of customers.

And I'll repeat no staff would want to be handling contaminated post so they probably left them in bags for a few days or binned them knowing the online system was being set up.I didn't get paid and I dropped the form in on Paddy's day.I'm not in a hurry as everything is closed.

It's been busy for the last five years what the hell did yis do with all the money that you need to be hounding the welfare when they're up to their bollox.

[Rat Catcher]

It's alright for workaholics like you. What about the men that need the job to feed their families anall?

[mercenary for hire]

They'll get paid eventually.No amount of harassment of the welfare staff will get any results.

Back in 2009 when I was waiting for the carriage office to process my PSV I applied for means tested Jobseekers allowance and it took them three months to process my claim.I was actually working the taxi and claiming it took so long.I think it was only 50 a week after the means test.

[Rat Catcher]

They might not have any food to put on the table.

All the full-time men were working and claiming in 2009, perfectly legit.

[mercenary for hire]

I doubt they have no food.Most of us haven't felt hunger pains in at least 40 years.

I'm gonna use the surplus of the 350 payment and buy a BMW..

 They should of had stores in they knew this was comming .To quote Big Dommo with regard to saving ."He who tapps and puts away will have a smoke another day ,but he who smokes it to the butt shant have a smoke when the shops are shut "

Some of them take a lot of feeding...

So where is the dosh going to come from in the long run to pay for all the welfare payments going to people affected by this?.It will have to be found somewhere some time down the line when we eventually emerge from our cocoon.

[Rat Catcher]

The pension bill will be somewhat reduced going forward.

The pension bill will be somewhat reduced going forward.

That'll save a few quid there alright but there'll be a few pockets picked when the dust settles,nothing surer...

[Rat Catcher]

Indeed... there'll be less smokers around too... that money will have to come from somewhere.

Are the full-time professional Jobseekers still on €203/week or did they get a raise too? I suppose they're already saving a fortune with the pubs and the bookies closed...
