    My understanding was that they were queuing for 150 positions in various Londis’.

    Eh – I simply don’t believe that. The dole pays better than Londis anyways.

    Yeah, the post there is a bit misleading – it’s for 150 jobs. The point still stands though.

    It seems to be mostly foreign students looking for the jobs.

    Ruairi – That’s exactly the bull that got this country into the state its in, “I’m not taking a job cause i’d rather sit on my ass and suck on welfare.”

    I had a guy who’s dole officer told him he’d be better on the dole than earning 11 Euro per hour last year – guy could barely speak English. Get real and don’t be so condescending.

    If you don’t get on the bottom rung of the ladder you can’t climb up it.
