Varadkar says it’s not fair that nearly half Covid payment recipients are better off than when they were working





The caretaker Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has warned that people should get back to work if they can or their Covid-19 benifit will be slashed.

Varadkar told @breakfastNT that it’s “not fair and “not sustainable” that nearly half of folks on the Covid benifit are better off than when they were working.

He declared “if somebody is offered their job back and point blank refuse to take it, they lose eligibility for payment”
