    A failed asylum seeker got his hands on false documents and went for asylum again. Has asylum granted under his false identity and claims social welfare. Later his country of origin becomes an EU member and using original identity gets a second claim.

    Very worrying about how easy it was to go from rejected asylum seeker to being granted asylum. Given the current situation it doesn't fill me with confidence. I wonder if the person who fell for his second sob story and granted him asylum will be held to account ?

    90% of asylum-seekers are bogus, this is well known, and has been stated by the Minister for Justice.

    Recently, 1000s of male Asians illegally entered the country, claimed asylum, and entered into sham marriages with EU women.

    The Gardai were shocked by the scale of it.

    Maybe Romani and claiming he was being persecuted as a minority?

    Waste of time jailing him. He's not a danger to society. There really needs to be a way for these types of criminals to work off their debt to the state, be it community service for a decade if needs be. All jailing him achieves is to waste even more of taxpayer's money, as if he hasn't had enough of it already.

    I agree that jailing him will cost money now, but it may act as a deferent to others and therefore it may save money in the long run.

    Do you think the judge should have just told this guy, "ah sure don't worry about it" Irish nationals do this all the time?

    I'm confused as to what point you are making?

    This case was national because of the new technology used, not the fact he was a foreign national.

    Perhaps, I just don't find the story particularly shocking. I'm much more concerned about how my tax is being spent in Ibiza, would be great if they could be as brilliant at spotting that, what we regain in tax might fund our collapsed health service, you never know.

    Whats Ibiza got to do with anything?

    Our health service hasn't collapsed. It gets over 14 billion a year. Its problem is too much admin and management and no Government ballsy enough to deal with the reality.

    Many Roma's emigrated into Europe from the Balkans throughout the 90's many arrived in Italy similar to now Arabs and Blacks coming from Libya.

    So would giving him ten years community service. Or taking away his tax credits. There's better possible alternatives.

    Fear you not,your tax € is being spent far more effectively in France....

    Officials from the minister's office, and also the Child and Family Agency, Tusla, last week travelled to France to meet their counterparts to discuss several legal issues and the validation processes for the unaccompanied children to come to Ireland.

    Speaking on RTÉ's Drivetime, Minister Zappone said,that the children will join one or two of the residential centres established for unaccompanied minors in different parts of the country.

    She said that Tusla will be given the resources required to receive the young people, with the money coming from her department.

    They'd be better advised visiting Disneyland Paris.....:rolleyes:

    Disgrace of a sentence. Sent most of his money back to his poor family in Romania, which if your born there, god help you. We take from them in other ways, cheap labour etc. Judge clearly hated Romanians. Despite what everybody thinks, is a slavic country (blonde blue eyes) not gypsy/jew origin.

    Then that Lithuanian who drowned her baby got no custodial sentence?? She should of been hung. World is gone mad.

    Luck of the draw and what side of the bed the judges get out if in the morning these days. Who would ever want to be a judge, sending people to prison, pure evil. No judge can be a nice person fact


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,256 ✭✭✭FlawedGenius


    I would never stand for a judge, all rise, eh no.
    Payed a fortune to make people suffer. I know there has to be judges but they shouldn't be payed more than plumbers, its not a hard job, they cant EVER be punished for a wrong sentence.
    They love the sound of there own voices and ofcourse theyv had a handy life born into wealth payed for college by Daddy and don't understand what makes people HAVE to commit crimes, to most of the time survive.

    Fail to rise in front of a judge in Ireland and you'll be found in contempt of court and thrown in jail. Your case will be adjourned costing you more money, and the judge will take a dim view of you when it comes to sentencing if you are found guilty.

    Steal from a movie studio and it's all "Kodi this, and Kodi that"

    Fleece the welfare system and it's all "hang him, build a wall"

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,915 ✭✭✭worded


    That's an astronomical amount of money to defraud the country of.

    It's great they are being caught by technology.

    How did this face recog software get past the ... it violates our rights ... brigade ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,275 ✭✭✭Your Face


    This one person was caught.
    I wonder how many similar people went undetected.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    €280 thousand? No-one writes it like that.

    Surely not the full 280k was fraudulent if he was getting it as entitled on his genuine ID from 2008 on.

    But didn't he continue to claim on the fraudulent ID as well which is how he was caught? If he was claiming for a spouse and children then he could rack up 280K between 1999 and 2016 on that claim alone.

    Why wasn't he simply deported and banned from ever returning. He came here and robbed the irish state of over quarter of a million, now the lecherous prick is going to cost the tax payer the same again (if not more) in prison upkeep and no doubt he'll be entitled to dole/social welfare when he gets out of prison. Deport him and rid society of another burden.
