im sick of ireland

I was surprised at some figures I read recently

minimum wage ?7.40 p/h (second highest in Europe)

unemployment benefit ?168 p/w (three times as high as in Britain)

I guess these will have to be lowered soon

It's a lot more expensive to live here, hence the social welfare allowance.
It will be lowered, but they wont lower the price of anything to suite the social. Unlike when there were wage increase's in the boom, the price of everything went up, let's see if it drop's as quick.
