    What is you opinion of people doing nixers while on social welfare? I think this behaviour is truly appalling. They should be punished for it with a prison sentence of no less than 3 months. I for one don't look kindly upon SW fraud. What is your opinion?

    Define Nixers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,435 ✭✭✭solerina


    I dont agree with it, but I wouldnt put people in prison for it....maybe they could work to pay back the money they scammed.....doing something to benefit their community for instance.

    Unregistered work while claiming unemployment benefits or disability benefits. It could be cash in hand work at a restaurant, building site etc.

    Yeah, how dare people try and make a bit of extra money when everything in this country is over-priced and the government does everything it can to tax all the money it can bleed out of the people. How dare these people try and get by. How dare they? HOW DARE THEY?!



    Mind your own business.

    It becomes my business because tax payers pay for their SW. I find it unacceptable. I would have no problems reporting any neighbours doing this.

    I am sick of dole/tax cheats draining our economy. The black economy is thriving in Ireland with alot of workers seen the dole as a way of topping up their wages to pre-recession levels. Companies operating legitamitly cannot compete with competitors who are not tax compliant. I know alot of tradespeople who are working sporadically however they justify not signing off on the days they are working as they will only be signing back on in the coming weeks. From May 1st I will be passing on info on 1 Dole cheat per day to the social welfare for the month of May. Our country will never recover if this fraud continues.

    OP wants justice on the issue of some folks costing the state/tax-payer monies, OP's proposal is to imprison such folks, which will cost more.

    There's a word for this kind of argument.

    You could rationalise it like that if their primary source of income wasn't coming from the same government that only wants to "bleed all it can" out of them:rolleyes:

    You find it unacceptable. That does not make it your business. Let the authorities take care of it. Look after your own affairs.

    I'm a taxpayer, I pay VAT. I find that the scroungers and fraudsters deserve all my hard earned VAT paid tax. WITH INTEREST!

    Now, go away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    So let me get this straight whiteonion;

    You have great sympathy and passion to help all those living in poverty by criticising their governments and employers.

    But if they try to make a few extra quid doing a one-off job on the side, they should be locked up?

    Dichotomy much?

    What game are we playing with the dole? What are the rules? How do I know if I'm cheating? Or are you talking about the relationship I have with the dole? If so, we're in an open relationship, so it isn't cheating.

    good man OP, they should introduce an award system for reporting dole/tax cheats..

    youd be minted after may


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,209 ✭✭✭Cypher_sounds


    So if your honest hardworking neighbour who is a carpenter has been working the last 20 years but was let go last month and was doing a small nixer job for another neighbour last night you would report him in the hope that he would be sent to jail???


    Go ta Fu*k OP!!

    How to cheat The Dole:

    When you're in the queue to collect your €188 at the post office you must enter this code just as the person in front of you is about to walk away from the counter.

    Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, A, B*

    If you done it right you should get infinite ammo. There's also a pipe behind the counter which allows you to level warp, too.

    *To the pedantic nerds, yes I know it's not the Konami code, lighten up and stop trying to correct it.

    This can be done in one day.Leaves the other 30 days for you to try and find a real job instead of continuing with stupid pursuits such as this.

    Um... "Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A", is the proper code.

    Can I point out that SW and Revenue are actually doing checks on this kind of thing?
    As an accountant I used to do alot of work from home (on top of my PAYE job) and as such was registered for VAT, Income Tax etc etc
    I ceased registration for VAT & Income tax about 3 years ago when I passed all my clients on to another accountant as I had too much going on at home and I was starting to almost miss deadlines

    Anyway, low & behold I had a visit yesterday from Revenue & SW (together as in there were 2 of them travelling together in same car etc etc)

    They wanted to confirm that I wasn't doing nixers as my JSB has just expired and I'm not entitled to JSA they were curious as to what I was living on (answer = OH's wages)

    They went through the filing cabinet in my office (box room set up as an office since I got the house)
    They also wanted to know why there was a 2011 car parked in my driveway (its my sisters she was in the sitting room with my niece)

    I've nothing to hide
    (though I admit i was MORTIFIED by the pile of laundry in the upstairs landing (was sorting out clothes for charity):(

    The moral of the story.... OP relax its not your concern the authorities are dealing with it!

    One off nixers now and then- I've no problem with.

    People working 9-5 for cash, claiming SW and benefits and moaning they barely have enough to get by deserve to be beaten with their wallets. I overheard a guy recently gettin 650 cash in hand a week, doing nixers 2 nights a week but also getting SW & Benefits.

    THAT p!sses me off.

    So you know of exactly 31 people that are dole/tax cheats?? what a coincidence!!!! and whats stopping you from doing it now??? or have you april set aside for people who dont drive with tax and insurance??? Maybe in june you could report 30 people that are illegally fishing without a licence....you are without a doubt a gimp of the highest order...and i hate to burst your bubble but our country wont be recovering for a very very very long time fraud cheats or not..
