@rteradio1: “I wouldn’t like to die alone.” Nathan, 67, joined #Liveline to speak about living with Parkinson’s disease and how losing his disability payment has left him feeling incredibly lonely. Evelyn, a volunteer with ALONE, called in to share the support and benefits the oraganisation offers.

Instead of getting disability payments he gets a pension instead. Does he not get the same money?

I don't think he's applying for everything he's entitled to on the old age pension. he needs to go to Citizens information and they'll help him

Garda vetted....hmm...yeeeah. So they'll be landed with foreigners who apart from the possibility of being criminals have barely any English and are given these jobs fresh off the plane from Britain after leaving the boats in France...
