However, can't people be asked to sign once a week instead of once a month. wouldn't pay them then to cheat from another country. problem solved - little bit more admin required by the welfare staff but they are just collecting signatures. I would say foreigners who have paid their PRSI etc are entitled to claim if they want to stay on and look for another job here. I’ve signed on before myself when stuck – no crime in that.
