    The Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar told @BreakfastNT that it’s “not fair” and “not sustainable” that nearly 40% of people on the #COVID-19 payment are better off than they were when they were working.https://www.newstalk.com/news/varadkar-pandemic-payment-1018514?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1590047034 …

        Leo is right, its "not fair" or "not sustainable" that 40% of people on COVID19 payments have to work and survive on less than €350 a week.

        So you think part time (1-2 days a week) workers should get €350 a week... Seriously

        Why doesn't Welfare work with Revenue and make sure to check on the income before assigning the payment? These two should work in sync and tandem.

        Or we could stop paying people poverty wages?

        Not fair on who exactly? The people who are working? Does that not indicate a problem with low wages rather than anything else?

        Yes it does. The 1% hoarding all the wealth is not fair, Leo.

        The system rarely works for the low paid but when it does Leo states it is unfair. It hurts him more to see this group get paid a bit more than it ever did bailing out bankers and enabling vulture funds.
