Sure while we are at it let us debate / give views etc on the subject,
My thoughts ,
It was introduced (not necessarily true) in order to give those less fortunate then others a means of feeding themselves and their families, a means to provide other then stealing and begging have to admit that those things are rife regardless. It was to give some sort of dignity to the unemployed but my experience of it is different I was lucky in life never had to depend on it did once go looking for it many years to be told by the wan in newbridge to clear off, that put me off. People working in that job now are quite better at dealing with those seeking the dole well most of them,
Lets not forget that not to long ago it seemed that the dole was solely there for the small farmers who would drive to the dole office or Guard stn to sign on in their tractors, also there for those supporting the black economy the NIXER and those people were nixering for the very people charged with policing the system.
I do not have any answers to how to police or otherwise that is why we elect others who cream it better then any poor dolite
Have a go by all means but remember it could be you through no fault of your own, also there are unemployed people who lost their business who do not qualify in the short term s a tiered system they are being thrown on the scrapheap with no means of lively hood or support there is a lot of hurt and ill feeling due to the economic situation.
I am not pointing to abuse that is for others to sort
Well thats my rant for the moment
