It’s about time. We’re total outliers in Europe in the sense that people who are unfortunate enough to lose their jobs due to factors beyond their control and have contributed to the system receive the same amount as a person who never worked a day in their life.
While I’m happy that the government has finally done something about this, it’s kind of a joke that it took until 2025 to sort this glaring problem out.
Imagine how frustrating it would be to have worked a high paying job for twenty years, paying the higher rate of tax and getting little in return (part and parcel of being part of the Irish middle class), lost your job and then learning that you’re getting €205 a week, the same as we pay every oxygen thieving, workshy waster who has never and never intends to do a day’s work? Or any job, really. It is an absolutely ridiculous situation and an insult to injury.

Good, should’ve existed 20 years ago, but still.
We were very much an outlier, along with the UK in the way we approached unemployment benefits. Never seemed fair. You’d wonder what the point of PRSI was. Just seemed like tax rebranded. It wasn’t insurance.
This wasn’t a thing already? Jesus and I thought my disability allowance being the same amount as someone who chosen to never worked a day in their life’s jobseekers allowance was unfair.
Pension next, and that’ll be a bit closer to rest of europe
