      In 2024, €69.9 billion was spent on social protection in Ireland, 5.9% more than in 2023.

      Spending on Sickness/Healthcare and Old Age continued to account for the largest proportion of social protection expenditure in 2024 at 71.6% of the total or €48.4 billion.

      Expenditure on Disability had the next largest increase at 8.9%, from €3.3 billion in 2023 to €3.6 billion in 2024.

      Ireland has the second highest proportion of means-tested benefits in Europe at 25%. The EU average is 11%.

      Just goes to show the rabid nutcases here that fictional number of layabouts claiming Jobseekers is the smaller than whatever anecdotes from their estate.

      Also we means test payments a lot more than the EU average, seems very penny pinching. Even the new Jobseekers Pay Related Benefit is administered in the cheapest way possible (max 450 and decrease twice in 9 months).

      You can see why trying to get people to be healthy is more important than getting them employed.

      The less people are sick the more money the state has to spend on 2 billion euro hospitals.
      Which make people less sick ……

      Edit- Sorry the tone didn’t land,,,

      having better hospitals reduces healthcare costs over the long term as people are healthier and spend less time there .
      So the children’s hospital will (eventually) be worth ever penny .

      I resent the depiction of old people as dodery grandparents with a walking aid.

      €30bn for everyone who is on the sick? Nearly half of the total expenditure! I wonder how that compares internationally. Seems a huge amount.
