    How much do these "cheats" cost the taxpayer? I'm guessing maybe a few million euro.
    How many BILLIONS are politicians, bankers and certain business men costing us?

    A word of advice would be direct your "anger" at the real cause of an ineffective over bureaucratic broken system and the people in power that make it not work.

    I'm not watching that show btw.

    So true, Tax Evasion costs the economy 8 to 10 times more than Social Welfare fraud does as well.

    Irish Examiner article from a couple of years ago, amount of Social Welfare fraud that people were caught for in the ten year period up to 2009 was 43 million. The amount revenue recooped in Tax Evasion fraud was 2.56 billion but the true cost of tax evasion in this ten year period is estimated to be more like 7.6 billion.
    I didn't pull anything out of me arse lad.

    The programme is a repeat from a few years ago?

    The so called journalist on them TV3 programmes is comically bad.

    The fact that people watch drivel like this and encourage tv3 to show more of it makes me sick.
