Annoyingly, the basic income pilot described in this article is not universal, and only helps people who could already afford to be artists. I'm sure the people working behind the counter in your local chipper would've liked to avail of it but they don't qualify as working "artists". But being Ireland, I can't imagine they'd ever implement it without an enormous means test.
