There must be some hum off that shirt. He never takes it off or maybe he has two the same.

I'd say Mick used to have a load of white and red polo shirts when he was still married.. And then when he split up with the missus, he had to start doing his washing himself... :pac:

Mick Wallace is actually a feminist. He frequently speaks out on issues that affect women.

Mick can always be relied upon to pay lip service to various causes

Vincent is giving out about people reporting social welfare fraud now.. Has he lost his mind altogether..

All welfare payments need to go down not up.

Vincent encouraging crime now. Not wanting people to report fraud.

I have a question to ask myself, how much of that 40% have children that going be under 7 years old. That statistic should make for very grim reading IMO.

Probably but we live in hope to see Bankers, Politicians etc in court.

VB's head about to explode at the mere notion of the Dept of SW investigating possibly fraudulent SW claims. What drugs is he on?

What IS that thing red hanging out of MW's ear? It's very distracting.

He had the nation over his knee there and was spanking hard , for a nanny stater like Vincent to be scolding people for shopping cheaters of the state is a tad incoherent

Vincent...
I have lost all respect for you now....
Crime is crime..
I pay my taxes....not for fraud....no matter who they are.
They are the same as the bankers who blew the lot...no difference.
they should all be treated the same, we agree on that im sure.

anyone claiming anything falsely should be prosocuted and made pay it all back.

Two thirds of the complaints turned out to be untrue...the witch-hunt for social welfare defrauders is leading to societal paranoia - VB has a point.

He wasn't justifying social welfare fraud...he was saying that there is something creepy about neighbours reporting other neighbours for alleged fraud.

And two thirds of the complaints turned out to be completely false.

bluefinger

doesn't it sicken anyone else that the government are revelling in punishing dole cheats when they've done nothing to hold bankers, speculators etc to account?

So one third were found to be true? That's still a lot of fraudulent claims!

What I don't get is why VB can't see that the very people who suffer the most from budget cutbacks, tax hikes, VAT increases, hospital closures and decreases in SW welfare payments are the disadvantaged in society who can not afford to cope with them as well as other better off strata of society. These cutbacks and such would not need to be as harsh as they are if our SW welfare wasn't as insanely bloated as it is. There is only so much money to go around before some thing some where has to give.

If you cut out a billion euro a year of unneccessary SW payments, that money gets to be spend else where, in hiring more teachers and opening more schools and cutting less hospital beds, increasing the fuel allowance etc etc. The people who benefit from that the most are people who can not afford to send their kids to private schools or purchase private health insurance or pay their ESB bill etc etc. Why doesn't he get that? It's not rocket science.
