Insane how we allow people to move here, never work a day in their lives and just live off the Irish tax payer

Career dole merchant and social welfare recipient, fraudster and clogging up the health service.
Exactly the type of person we don’t need in Ireland.

He’s here 28 years and never worked.
This is where your taxes go.

explain to my why someone (Irish or otherwise) would be allowed to spend an entire life on benefits when perfectly able to work and to earn an honest living?
perhaps those persons should just be made to work, picking up litter, filling potholes, etc. supervised, mandatory reporting for duty.
yes, that sounds strict, but for extreme cases like this one, such a thing is needed. might also improve them and get them interested in applying for regular jobs.
46, never worked… that should not be possible.

“No experience of work…”, but has 19 convictions..?
Clearly has some experience of replying “No comment”

No experience of work. I’ve dealt with people like this in my line of work. No shame whatsoever.

He’s been here since he was 18, but was only supposedly “injured” when he was 36. How is it possible that he was able to draw dole all that time and never work?! Are we really that soft.

As someone who came to this country many years ago and was working and paying taxes from first week this makes my blood boil. How are people like that allowed to not do anything and just sponge of everyone else?
Ok-Juggernaut-7972 on
After the 18th conviction why wasn’t he fucked out of here and why on earth is his partners view of him relevant in any way to the courts?
Zealousideal_Car9368 on
He is a big Roma FC fan no doubt.

Should be fucked off the dole after a year. End of

We really are a soft touch, take his next welfare payment and ship him back to romania. Joke of a country.

Here 28 years, 19 convictions, never had a single year of employment since he’s been here and has now also made a false claim for more free money. You couldn’t make it up.
>Iosca was born in Romania and came to Ireland in 1997 when he was 18 years old, but his defence counsel said today that he has never worked because he has no experience of work.
Can’t work because he’s never worked? How does literally anyone get their first job so?
>Kieran Kelly told the court that Iosca stays at home with his family and likes to go shopping with them.
Shopping with what money since he’s never had a job? Surely not the same dole people can barely keep the lights on with?
Brilliant_Coach9877 on
Send him to jail

Can we get the staff in the welfare office in front of PAC????
FluffyDiscipline on
I’d be interested to know if those 19 convictions are also for deception, fraud, or insurance claims ?
Well done to the investigator on this one, those pictures are golden…

Need to reform disability allowance. System is a joke. We all know loads of people scamming

Does deportation apply in this case?

But think how bland our takeaway food would be,
without all the Roma Gypsies who live here now.

*Iosca was born in Romania and came to Ireland in 1997 when he was 18 years old, but his defence counsel said today that he has never worked because he has no experience of work.*
*Kieran Kelly told the court that Iosca stays at home with his family and likes to go shopping with them.*
*He also submitted letters from his partner of 30 years describing him as a caring and understanding individual and said he has a range of health issues, including asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure and was on a waiting list for physiotherapy.*
This article is hilarious. The point is not so thinly veiled.
“his defence counsel said today that he has never worked because he has no experience of work.”… I mean, yeah, no one has experience of work, until they, you know, get a job!
If you want more salacious details, try the Irish Mirror or The Sun articles about it (I can’t link here). You will soon see the RTE article underplayed it hugely.
According to the mirror:
*Undercover video footage presented to the court showed the claimant walking out to a car removing crutches from plastic wrapping, then picking up a wheelchair and placing it in the boot.*
*A while later upon his arrival in Dublin city centre, he jumped into the wheelchair and was filmed being wheeled to a building where his medical appointment was taking place.*
This is the video footage. Absolutely hilarious. Nice car and house too. Why aren’t the people wheeling him also prosecuted and deported? https://youtu.be/JdUCn1MdzJM

Well, this doesn’t do the stereotype any favours..

He’s been a great addition to the country. I’m not sure how that works though. You rock up from Romania with zero work for thirty years and you get to stay with full government benefits. Just as well our taxes are so high.
Sciprio on
There’s a law to deport people who are a burden on the state, even if they’re an EU citizen. It should apply here.
Strange-Sea5604 on
Oh! Lads, why do youse think he came here, our weather?
Snaptun on
Why is allowed to remain? Clearly, he contributes nothing to society.
ElvisMcPelvis on
If there was work in the bed, he’d sleep on the floor
NooktaSt on
How did he come to Ireland? Romania wasn’t in the EU in 97. Work visa or student visa. The student visa wouldn’t apply once finished. Doubt he could get family reunification after 18.
Now that they are in they are in the EU he would have to prove self sufficient?
