Previous earnings to be linked to new jobseeker's payment A new jobseeker's payment that is linked to a person's previous earnings is due to begin.

There are comparatively few social protection enhancements that build on the experience of the temporary covid schemes. But Ireland's new earnings-related unemployment benefit, which begins today, counts as one, paying up to €450 per week for 3 months. www.rte.ie/news/busines...

While to topic was about the value of research, the panel discussion was around research impact. Helen Dixon (UCD) was the only person on the panel to defend fundamental research as the driver of innovation in our knowledge economy.
Also I fear AHSS will have it hard in the new RI structure 3/3

In monetary terms, @researchireland.bsky.social wasted about €50k in research money (our research time), simply because 200 academics were in room with aim to be consulted, without being consulted, and not progressing on their research. In your upcoming regional town halls, listen to us. 2/3

The Irish research community really needs a success from the merger of SFI and IRC @researchireland.bsky.social, but today's consultation event with senior academics was a farce.
For an entire morning we were invited to a panel discussion, but had no chance for consultation. @kosull.bsky.social
