8,10 12 weeks

[john m]

If they said you could return to work in 8 weeks would you or would you wait and see how many other workers return to work and if there is enough work to justify giving up 350 ? Me personally I would wait 12 weeks .

I'm waiting till the pubs open again john and take it from there. When do you think that will be?

[Shallowhal]

I'll tell yis when i get back from Wexford.

Dont know but a lot of my night time punters are restaurant and hotel workers I think it will take weeks before they are back up and running after the lockdown is removed .Recon about 20% of retail businesses wont reopen they will of lost their customers to on line business .Lad who does the SDS deliveries around here says its busier than Christmas .

On another note. This thing with the insurance about just insuring is not as straight forward as first thought. You can do it alright, but there is a bit of messing around with it. I thought you just break the link with your car by calling the NTA, and then calling the insurance company to tell them also. It seems there is no problem with the ins company, the problem is with the NTA. .they want you to take of the disks, send them to some address, re sit the suitability for the purposes of having new disks fitted, etc there is more Shiite as well but I can't remember what she told me

Dalymount WHY DID YOU ASK .Do you never know when to stay quiet .

[dalymount]

The reason I asked was, on foot of an email I received which I did not request. It was quite clear and prompted me to ask the questions I felt like the email was warning me in some way, because I already broke the link, and rang the ins company, and I [Hought that was all I had to do

The smart guys are working now while there's hardly any drivers out and will start the 12 week payment scheme later on when we're all forced back because the payment stops

No sense driving if there are no customers .Plus the government will stop the Covid payments and tell people to If your self employed go back to work or if you lost your job apply for dole .I would think when the lockdown ends the self employed payments might be first to go .

[dalymount]

It depends what you mean by smart. The guys who are not working at the moment are not doing so because of the obvious health risks, and the guys who are working are obviously doing it for the money I think it's only fair to say the next few weeks will determine who was the smart ones

[john m]

Remember why we are getting paid Social Distancing .If thats removed then our reason to claim is removed .

Are you saying they'll stop the payment and force us back before the 12 weeks are up?
Some here think they're back on their school summer holidays

I'm staying at home for the money, no other reason, simply not economic to work while there's €350 a week on offer, the lads out working are heroes, I'll not have a bad word said about them!
