Coalition are at odds over increases in jobseekers allowance in budget

The Coalition is at odds over increases in the €208 per week jobseeker’s allowance in the Budget. Fine Gael do not believe the unemployment benefit should be increased as they believe a hike would impact participation rates in the workforce as employers ‘cry out’ for staff but Fianna Fáil and the Green Party are in favour of increases in the welfare payment.
