SF: Social Welfare offers Donegal man job in Malta

The Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty has called on Social Protection Minister Joan Burton to clarify if it is the policy of her department to seek low-paid jobs abroad for unemployed Irish people.

The Donegal deputy raised the issue after one of his constituents told him that the Social Welfare Department had written to him about a bus driver job in Malta, paying €250 per week.
