    i have come across an african refugee who has a weight problem which has put strain on his disabled knee causing him to need an operation costing the state nearly €10000. This guy has claimed for last 4 years for housing,disabilty allowance, medical the whole works. however over the past year he has been working cash in hand making over €250 a week cash in hand from dodgy employer. So my guess is that this guy receives something like €1200per month in benefits and now a further €1000 a nice untaxed total of €2200 per month. how very nice of Ireland to show such sympathy to a suffering refugee.This makes me sick and I`m sure I am not the only one so I want to know what to do about this as if nobody stands up to stop it then well you can see where i am going.
    So what say you all?

    Contact the social welfare. The fact he is a refugee is pretty irrelevent. He's cheating the system. If he's resident in Ireland he is entitled to medical care. Would you grass this person up if he was Irish?

    I would. If he's a refugee he shouldn't be working so should be reported.

    Although the whole story seems very suspect if you ask me. Especially with the "I guess".
