Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy
Should everyone on the dole be drug tested to get their payment?
A listener called Val is raging about a 26-year-old neighbour she says has been on jobseekers for three years, spending his €254 a week on weed. Jeremy says it’s “my tax money” and wants monthly drug tests — fail it and you’re cut off. Adrian says it’s a dangerous road: once you start policing weed, where does it stop… drink, cigarettes, vapes?
Live callers go at it: vouchers instead of cash, pin-protected cards, targeting repeat offenders, disability payments, and the bigger “where are our taxes going?” argument — with Ukraine and immigration dragged into it too.
