Well if a great grandmother can, why not a tiny tot! We need some balance in the workforce.
Just got back from the vote, and who should be the senior clerk but the principal of the school which was closed for the day to facilitate the vote.
That just seems wrong to me in lots of ways.
Anyone, unemployed or otherwise can apply for the position of polling clerk. Just write with your CV to the Returning Officer in your County stating your interest in the position.
Then they should advertise in the local papers or put adverts on tv in advance of elections looking for clerks, same as they do for census enumerators. If people realise this and the money they get for the day I think you would have a lot of interest in it.
I sent in a letter a couple f months ago & I did not even get a reply.
Public Servants don't get docked a days pay from their regular jobs. Pretty good earner for them.
I have nothing atall against greatgrandmothers, they are fantastic people but the point I was trying to make was that would it not be better for people the most in need of a few bob getting these jobs. The greatgran that I saw today and indeed is a really nice lady but she is not worrying about her mortgage repayments etc.

They don't get docked a day's pay because they're taking a day from their holidays to do the job.
Maybe she is worrying about her heating bill, bad debts, the loss of savings, who knows and the point really is we should all be considered equal for the job. It still sounds like an age issue to me.
I did presiding officer this year and last year, the pay was €460 after tax.
What exactly did you have to do for this position?
