Murders of two gay men in Sligo

One "man" was responsible for the murders but nobody has a bag of 350k cash just laying around. The whole family are dodgy and the sooner we get rid of them and lock their asshole son up for life the better.

One man was responsible for the murders but welfare fraud is also a thing. Even for the parents of a murderer. I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to get money on welfare on the basis that you have nothing, and then just not declare you have now come into a major sum of money.

Secondly, and perhaps more worryingly: if it isn't clear where the money came from, then the possibility that they are not welfare frauds cannot be ruled out, if in fact it actually belonged to the son, because he was getting it from/for terrorists.

Fine. I was just pointing out that claims made by several posters here that it was perfectly likely that the parents had obtained that money legally and that there had been no obligation on them to declare it to the Irish state despite apparently living long-term on Irish welfare payments are extremely dubious.

I'd also add that if it turns out that there was no reason for them to inform the welfare people that they had all those "savings", however they came by them, then TBF that's a major failing in the welfare system.

lol Have they got a "relax your cacks" unit that you can call?

He's been found guilty of murder girl, by be-heading two innocent men, and would have done more, as is the Islamist reputation. Let him sue me all he wants with his 350,000 euro package, or you can do it for him seeing how you feel he's such a sweetheart.

You should inform the Gardai that I'm having the temerity to talk about it, seeing as how you see it as such a wild outrageous idea that may affect the reputation of some animal that be-headed two innocent Irish men.

250k in cash reserve and also claiming social welfare payments? I doubt it.

It is suspicous. Hence the court proceedings. Which is kind of my point.

It strikes me that depending on how many family members there are, that the money (or some of it) could have been saved from several social welfare payments coming into the same house over 15 to 20 years.. If these said payments were means tested that would explain holding it in cash as opposed to in a bank account. Many nationalities including older Irish people would only feel safe with their savings in cash.

Before anyone jumps on me, I don't think they should get it back under any set of circumstances, I think they should be stripped of citizenship and deported along with their butcher of a son who we unfortunately can't execute.

But the scenario above would explain where they got it - an extended family of 4 or 5 (I've no idea how many there were/are) would have no bother in saving 20 to 25k a year if given housing/medical/no work commute or costs, no insurance, no car, no home repairs, no alcohol or fags, down to the SVDP/ all the other bleeding heart charities for clothes, tvs, baby equipment, children's toys. There's plenty at it both homegrown and immigrant.

So are you saying that it's possible to save thousands of euros from welfare payments every year?

Why are people bothering their heads working then? Lots of couples work two jobs and their savings are nowhere near that level. This sounds like fantasy to me.

Dbl post.

However they obtained or accumulated that money, it had to be declared as they were claiming means tested benefits. It's really not hard to understand… and this applies every time you sign on / obtain payment, not just when the claim initially goes in. Every act of obtaining payment when you have undeclared means is an instance of fraud.

Who the hell is paying for this!?

A high court challenge is a very expensive legal action to take. You not only need the services of a solicitor, but a barrister too (it's thousands for this advice alone). Are we really to believe that this Palani fella has been living a subsistence lifestyle of rice and lentils so he could squirrel away thousands for this? Or is it a case that the tax payer will have to fund this high court appeal, which should he lose, he won't even be able to pay! Or maybe it's even worse, some NGO is behind the scenes is funding this through the back door with taxpayers cash.
