This shit needs to be stopped. These people literally cannot work labour. They can barely make enough off of their disability. They should NOT be expected to work. Please reblog and help these people!! This is getting ridiculous.
The Irish government is proposing an overhaul to the country’s disability welfare system that will lead to disabled persons being forced into employment.
There is a plan for a three tier system, with the lowest level being forced to take up “places in training and employment programmes, and take up employment opportunities that are appropriate to their capacity and circumstances.” and receiving €220 a week,
the middle “being expected to make reasonable efforts both to engage with Intreo and to take part in training and other programmes appropriate to their circumstances”, and receiving €242.65 a week, and the highest not being required to work, but only receiving €265.30 a week.
With our country’s outrageous cost of living, not even the highest tier of welfare is enough to live off of.
This motion must not be allowed to pass.
