As was expected in today’s budget announcements there will be a weekly increase of €5 to people who are in receipt of Social welfare.
A Christmas bonus of 85% will also be paid out.
FIS payments will increase by €10
The budget announcement has had mixed reviews today.



Oh my god €5 Euro increase what would that get you nothing food prices have increased electricity gas fuel has also increased its a joke the TDS got a bigger increase than €5 Euro so long as there happy it’s a joke 🇨🇮🇨🇮😡😡😡
Aisling 5€ for doing nothing is still something what about people who work and pay taxes to give that extra 5€ for all those lazy cu…s
Well polishboy maybe if you and your friends fuck back to you’re own country there be more jobs and less on the dole.
Plenty of jobs out there just too many Irishmen too proud to do them…And beforebyou start I’m born and bred in Ireland as are all my family
Go to work and dont cry
I’m happy for the people who struggle and need this budget, over all not a bad budget, but to be fair I genuinely think they need to help the working class people out more. I work rear my 5 children and pay huge tax when I do over time it’s taxed it’s ridiculous.
Aisling actually never said she was unemployed she is only arguing for the people who are. People like polishboy and ovian should go and fuck themselves because there the reason there is no jobs for the irish.
Brian plenty of jobs for the Irish but some won’t bother so yes the polish Croatians etc have to work there jobs for them to pay taxes so they can sit on there holes and do fuck all and be ungrateful that there Getting a 5 euro increase
Its shit load of job opportunities around Ireland.People who works making more then fucking 180 EUR per week.
why do people on illness benefit get the xmas bonus
