Nothing new in that to be concerned about.

REALLY .....(3) The conditions specified in subsection (1)(b)(i) will not be satisfied
where a claimant—
(a) has lost the employment concerned through his or her own
misconduct or has voluntarily left his or her employment,


As I posted if you VOLUNTARILY   lapse your licence you are no longer employed as a taxi driver .The original condition expressly said there was no need for you to de list as Self Employed .

[mercenary for hire]

Why would you delist as self employed?You only do that if you get a real job.I'm self-employed since 1996 Ffs.

Self employed as what ? If you lapse your licence they might say you are no longer in the job you qualified for the coin with .I recon after this bill is passed we will all be asked to reconfirm our qualification for the Coin .

[mercenary for hire]

Just keep confirming it.They can't get their money back of it's spent.I doubt Mountjoy or Cloverhill would have the resources to feed 5000 taxi drivers.

Where does it refer to self employment John.....that's specifically for people who walked out of jobs that weren't paying as much as the covid coin....which as we know did happen...i didn't even walk away from my self employment....that was removed unilaterally for the good of the country.....i'm still self employed and ready to work but other business's that supply my business arn't allowed reopen or have restrictions placed on them if they do reopen...not to mention that social distance rules still apply and as has been mentioned once or twice on here...impossible to implement...but some say it's all a loada bollox.

 or has voluntarily left his or her employment,.If you no longer have a licenced business as you lapsed it could they say you Voluntarialy left the trade .Nobody instructed us to lapse our licences .It might be semantics but .............................................The conditions you qualified for the payment have changed .You have seen how officialdom has acted from licence renewal to NCTs Suitability Somebody in a box room with a Lenovo might try to make a name for themselves in the Department of Disaster .

There is a definite shift from wanting people to take the payment and  stay at home to wanting people to get off the payment and get back to work, with all that entails.

[john m]

Just one example of people who qualified for Covid coin then didnt .Debenhams closed while the staff were getting Covid payments got fucked off when Debenhams went bust and had to claim the lesser dole payment .I wonder are we supposed to inform the Covid Bankers if out T&C change ?

So if this legislation passes, (presumably it will have to go through both houses--however long that will take), the onus is on recipients to provide proof of job applications etc....

Passscal said early on that they won't be supporting business that aren't viable forever.

So if yer called into welfare and you say there's not enough work they'll tell you to apply for a real job.Nothing new there.

I dont know what it is about taxi drivers forever running down their own job.this job may not be physically demanding,but it certainly can be mentally demanding.when you have some cubt sitting beside you and you dont know what weapon he is going to pull on you,and you feel tou have to take the two dodgy looking cunts on the corner because you cant afford not to because there is so little work out there,please stop running it down as a nothing job,because its a job that most people would not fancy
