Great news that curry is good for you. It makes me very happy. Will have to make more of them.

Welfare Fraud ?. What about the Bertie Bowl ( €40+ Million ), Bertie’s Tribunal ( €90+ million ) and Anglo (€Billions + )…never mind TD’s special advisers, unvouched Political expenses and re hiring of civil servants !

Welfare Fraud ? What about Tds fraud Minsters Fraud Bankers Fraud Developers Fraud ?

I have just read this with tears in my eyes. please do not use that hose pipe. If you would like to talk to someone please contact me at noreen.ken@hotmail.com. I am reaching out to you. I am not a councilor or anything like that. Just someone who can relate to your story and would like to let you know you do matter.

Paying millions to unsecured Anglo Irish Bank bondholders, The politicians are the real fraudsters. They will make the poor / low paid suffer for years to come. There is no excuse for people working full time and claiming either.

NO fraud is excusable. However, the scale of some frauds may make them appear worse than others. Fat cats, TDs expenses and bankers venality are worse in a way, because they are sheer bloody GREED on top of criminality.
I read about some cases of benefit fraud in London where it was possible for cheats to “sign on” at a number of different benefit offices within a relatively small geographical area. That sort of thing cost taxpayers loads. If you take the above examples and eliminate the perpetrators, then the remainder of incorrectly paid benefits will be quite small. In smaller towns in Ireland, where people still know a lot about other people’s business, it is far more likely that cheats will be found out, so there wouldn’t be many false claims compared to the big cities.
Now I’m away for a curry!.

exactly all those “savings” will revert straight back into the pockets of civil servants, politicians and the hanger on wasters they have. When will people just STOP VOTING FOR THESE PEOPLE? I might start a campaign. Oh and curry is the only good news on this…

How about putting as much effort into catching the fat cats and bond holders aswell…most social welfare frausters probably actually need that money..one rule for the rich eh?

you can be guaranteed the “welfaria” (welfare mafia who coined it during the boom, and continue to do so) will not be the ones harassed. Those who worked and contributed to this economy WILL be. Those who paid income tax and lived within their means are getting abused by this government whilst those who should be thrown on the street are so embedded in the welfare system the state is scared of them – you know the go to the shops in pyjamas brigade. Burn the lot of them…

Hard luck Seán Sherlock!

Andrew I never include people who paid tax – I specifically said the generations of scumbags in this country who have been robbing it blind because they wouldn’t take work during the boom. Get rid of them – force them to leave the country. They are wasters. And the sooner people who actually make this country work ie the middle classes figure this out, this country will be run by scum at the top and bottom. End of story.
