You evidently do not fit the criteria for Jobseekers Supports. The rules are applicable to all and are well publicised. Nobody is using anything to get at you.

Nobody is using anything against you, you are not being discriminated against. We have a strong welfare safety net in this country, nobody starves in Ireland. Stop moaning about it and do something useful about your situation.
Thanks everyone or your replies.
Just in two minds about whether to set up a business or not. The way things are going my full time Job wont last unless things imrove quickly and the last thing I need is to be out of work and not able to claim any benefits
but this would take months. On no income.You are entitled to apply for means tested Jobseekers Allowance, which you will get if your company is wound up and you do not have any other income.

This is benefit fraud, lying to welfare to obtain money.
I think you are the one being negative here. What exactly do you think is wrong that when you are let go from your job and you can claim Jobseekers benefit ( which you are entitled to since you have paid your taxes) and at the smae time try and start up a business for your self instead of sitting on your butt and doing nothing cos there ain't many jobs out there? The poster is saying thread warily.
In my veiw nothing, it is the same as long term unemployed getting back to work allowance etc. The system is wrong in this case! We need small business in this country, it is how we will get out of this mess and we should try and help those that try and set up.
You keep saying that people are "using things against you". Nobody is using anything, the rules are clear and well publicised, and are not open to the kind of manipulation you assign. Get over your paranoia.[/quote]
Typical I'm alright Jack response! The rules though are open to debate and if you listen to recent commentators this is one of the things most highlighted as being unfair.

Who is the imbecile here? Is this not the purpose of this whole thread? Have you any idea what we have actually been discussing?Of course you cannot claim unemployment benefits while you have an operating business, you imbecile, because YOU ARE NOT UNEMPLOYED!
We did pay for it and should be entitled to some protections without having to shut down everything we've worked for. We created wealth and paid many tens of thousands of euro in tax last year. Dont tell me I didnt pay for it or shouldnt be entitled to it. This is what needs changing in the systemYou are simply holding out your hand looking for benefits that you neither paid for or are entitled too,
ouch. Well at least I had a go. And my business was very successful, and could be again if we didnt have to shut it down to get us through a quiet patch.It is not very surprising that your business failed if you cannot understand such simple things as entitlement to welfare payments.
In what way is it not benefit fraud to sign on, but to be making money from paying customers while not declaring this income? .
