    Are children the little spreaders of the virus they were initially thought to be? Wasn't there some evidence to the contrary? Obviously your concern is for them not necessarily anyone else secondary to them but just curious...

    Li In theory yes but I'd be surprised if Customs/Passport control system communicates that readily with social welfare. I'm not sure if it would even be allowed to. Perhaps it is.

    How are social welfare finding out about these people? Do they have spies at the airport? https://www.thejournal.ie/covid-payment-stopped-travel-5160234-Jul2020/ Like this sounds a bit vague: There surely aren't randomers with clipboards after passport control asking are you on the scratcher...

    Depends on what you earn and the details of your shorter week. If you aren't paying a lot at the higher rate of tax you might not be far off 20%. Also in some situations you will be put on a Week 1 basis which I think would nullify any potential tax savings that way.

    I don't think the information out there is great. The thrust of it as far as I can gather is that your employer is supposed to give you more money (the 2 something a day that @riath mentioned) and they can claim that back themselves through employer PRSI. If your company isn't doing that for...

    There was a bloke sent home from my floor yesterday. Initially the rumour was his wife had it, then it turned out it was his wife's brother. Still, pretty close to home. Unfortunately for me I shared a lift with him before he was sent on his way.

    I'd love to do my H Dip (which is what qualifies me for what I currently do) over again now, having at least some clue of what it's all about. So much of it went over my head the first time around and I would have prioritised according to exams rather than developing real-life acumen. Of course...

    Made him do all the firing and then put a bullet in his head when he was done? That's fucking appaling! I would have razed the place to the ground

    I've not bothered going for certain jobs in the past that require a presentation as part of the recruitment process. The very thought gives me the shudders.

    Jebus that's horrible. Also, jealous that everyone else seems to be able to listen to headphones in work. Not really a done thing in here. Maybe the odd Friday evening or that..

    There's lots of work in digital marketing these days. Like SEO/PPC, would that be of any interest? This is my girlfriend's company. They seem like a good bunch to work for and there are a few people leaving soon I believe www.initiative.ie
