"As far as I know ( its a bit confusing ) they now have cut the job seekers payment to people going on holidays now also " I thought that jobseekers was replaced by the corvid19 payment. I could be wrong. | |||

I could be wrong. " No standard jod seekers (dole) allowed a holiday Pandemic unemployment payment ( pup) didnt allow a holday There was that much of an outcry this morning about inspections in the airport that they've cancelled the holiday payment for people on the dole also | |||

"Personally I think the government and work are gone power mad. If you have a hol booked before Covid you are expected to lose 1000's. Govt publishes a green list but then tells you not to travel there and do everything in their power to put obstacles in your way. Work jumping on the bandwagon. If you were okay to work from home for the past 5 months. Why do you need to take 15 days annual leave for a weeks hols. " Yep I could time my holiday that the 14 days of isolation would only effect 6 days of work which I can do from home but not allowed and it's been hinted will effect future promotion | |||

"If you show proof you booked before covid there is no problem .live last year .if you were on unemployment assistance you notified you local welfare office filled in for for the two weeks you were going for and your money was there for you when you got back .. I'm sure still the same I personally think there is more to this .maybe targeting certain people ... lots of people caught abusing covid payments . One was receiving 3 payments per week " Oh way more than one lol | |||

"Advice is against non essential travel. When we are so close to eradicating the country of the pandemic, why are so many happy to risk bringing the infection back in" This!! And how desperate and pathetic and selfish are the masses hanging on waiting for the words "non essential" to be dropped from the advice so they can have their trip abroad. Have some cop on and responsibility and respect for society as a whole. Surely we can behave like adults and interpret the guidance in a responsible way rather than waiting on a technicality like immature selfish children to justify a holiday if this covid nonsense can be put to bed once and for all. | |||

When we are so close to eradicating the country of the pandemic, why are so many happy to risk bringing the infectionWhen we are so close to eradicating the country of the pandemic, why are so many happy to risk bringing the infection back in This!! I totally agree. It is being presented that the green list is confusing things; that there are mixed messages. There is nothing confusing in this. Do not do any unnecessary travel. A foreign holiday is unnecessary travel." | |||

"Your friends in government was probably crying into theircornflakes when told told they were getting 10 per cent pay cut to worry about ordinary people . But yes cut them off . I'm sure the underpaid healthcare workers aren't heading off to the sun during a pandemic... " Take your paranoia to another thread dude rather than taking this one off topic. | |||

"It turns out now that nobody took a paycut in Government The old government never took their pay raises for the last few years and Leo took €185,000 as his salary intead of €205,000 that he was officially on. When the new government came in their salaries automatically started at what it should have been i.e €205,000 but they agreed a 10% cut which brings in back to what the last government was on anyway Optics " Didn't realise this. It makes it a rather less generous a gesture than previously thought. | |||

"Hope certain people who have posted comments on this are reading these genuine ones ...as for blocking people who dont agree with you comments I for one would not be interested in contacting someone like you with your weird views" I love a lively debate but I'm not sure what enjoyment you get out of getting personal with folks who have different opinions than yourself. Following them around the forums being rude and throwing around (incorrect) accusations etc. It's not a very pleasant way to behave. Address the points in the thread with logic and reason and you will be a whole lot better at this. | |||

"Would have been so much easier if they just banned travel out of the country " But what about travelling for essential things like for lifesaving medical treatment, or for a business deal that many jobs depended on, etc. I think it made sense to allow travel for limited exceptional cischmstsnces. The guidance says no non-essential travel. The problem is people interpretated that very loosely. | |||

"104 people have travelled and have lost their payments. Social welfare officers at the airport checking those that travel. Has the state gone mad,or are they right to take these measures?? " Well in fairness them people shouldn't be going on holiday abroad anyway I wouldn't necessarily take their payments but to suspend it for a week or so there are plenty of staycation places here to go | |||

"It got worse today and I actually think its outrageous. A family at the airport in May travelling to Eastern Europe to see family not on any job seekers or covid payment However when they got back they lost 2 weeks children's allowance and all perfectly legitimate. Its turns out anyone with children by law should be telling the dept when they go on holidays or leave the country so it can be stopped. Has anyone ever done this I doubt it People living here can claim the irish rate of childrens allowance for children living abroad so everything is fucked up. " The children's allowance isn't stopped unless kid is over 16 or 18 you than have to get a letter to state they still in full time education. (Not sure on the age) | |||

" I wasn't aware of that rule but it makes sense. It's to combat fraud where folks travel to Ireland to claim child benefit (which isn't means tested so claiming is simple).. and then leave the country and watch the cash come in each month while living elsewhere. | |||

(Not sure on the age) " I know that DD but their kids were young It was someone in an office being petty because the dad who works in a law office told a garda that he had no right to question a full queue of people as he had to have a reasonable excuse to question anyone. He was then asked for his passport and you don't need reasonable excuse to ask that so they wrote down his name and passport His wife got the letter when they got back So they connected the dots to stop the allowance | |||

"It's insanely unfair. Either everyone is allowed to travel, or nobody is. That should be the approach in my opinion. Not, everyone is allowed to travel except the people on a specific social welfare payment. " Or at least come up with a list of reasons, not guidelines, why people are permitted to travel and why people aren't. The government are basically just saying you're allowed to travel but we'd rather you didn't. | |||

Not, everyone is allowed to travel except the people on a specific social welfare payment. " I dont think it's that black and white. Everyone working has been told that they are not allowed travel since March. And if they do, they loose 2 weeks wages when they come back as they need to be in quaranteen. And if they are unfortunate enough to get Covid while abroad, well no wages or sick pay till 14 days or so after symptoms are gone. It's only fair that if you're obtaining of social welfare, then your are actively looking for employment, and available to go back to work. And you can't do that when in quaranteen. | |||

" It's only fair that if you're obtaining of social welfare, then your are actively looking for employment, and available to go back to work. And you can't do that when in quaranteen." It is absolutely not the case that everyone on the covid payment is it should be looking for work. Many have jobs but are on temporary lay off and can't return to work until their job is back up and running. Others can't go back to work until the schools are back, and remain on lay off until then. They're under no obligation to look for work whatsoever. It's also not true that everyone who comes home from holidays looses wages for 2 weeks. Many use their annual leave for that 2 week period at the discretion of their employer. | |||

" Fair enough, each case is different, and if you know your permanent job will be opening back up in a couple of months, you're not gonna quit and get another just for the sake of it. But like, you cant really use your annual leave for quaranteen. Eat up all your christmas holiday days just so to sit at home and quaranteen for two weeks, and leave your work makes in the lurch covering for you for nearly a month, just because you wanted to travel abroad rather than holiday in ireland. Whether you are working or not, no one is stopping you going abroad. But there are enough consequences that both choose not too. Just holiday at home for one year | |||

" Yeah, there is a huge stigma in workplaces about foreign travel! You would definitly be looked down upon by your peers, as the amount of extra workload, and money, and just stress that staff are put under because of Covid, and there you go leaving the country against all advice. I dont know a single person at work who has any plans to travel anywhere this year. | |||

And if you're not back at work then how would you be leaving your colleagues in the lurch??? Listen, I think anyone who is going on a holiday abroad is a dick. Nobody should be allowed go in my opinion. The point that I'm making is that it's not right for the government to punish some people who do it, and allow others. | |||

I think it's stupid to allow regular social welfare, but not Pup payments. And someone else said childrens allowance was stopped too? They need to get their act together, as they had months to prepare for this. | |||
