>For 20 years, Iosca (46) said he received disability benefits from the State and had struggled with his health.
….
He alleged that he broke his back in an accident when he was younger and had been advised by doctors in Romania that he should not work.
>When asked if he was receiving social welfare here, he replied: “It’s the law in Ireland to pay you because I don’t have a job.”
>“So the Irish taxpayer is looking after you?” counsel for the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland (MIBI) asked.
>“Yes, thank you, sir,” he responded.
i know it is my inference but the thank you sir is galling.
If there are scams to be had someone will try to exploit them, sickening
He’s played the taxpayer for more than 20 yrs and will continue to do it when he’s released in less that 2 yrs . He should be taken immediately from prison to a deportation flight upon release but I doubt he will be. How is it that non citizens can live here for yrs and just leech off social welfare
Lusk social welfare office is not fit for purpose!
Well it’s a well known fact in continental Europe that Roma people have a great talent for this type endeavors. Check this – one of the biggest projects in recent times:

Know someone that made a bollox claim a few years ago.
Unfortunately the insurance company paid out.
However, they couldn’t keep their mouth shut about the pay out they got, and the car they were going to buy with it.
House got burgled and their windfall robbed.
Big Jim needs to get him on the plane.
I live nearby, and this guy and his family were a nightmare, especially do the local shops! Fleecing the place
Scumbag
Dirt of Europe
The entitlement is astonishing.
I’m happy something is being done about this. I had a case nearly 20 years ago worse than this, and it was more blatant.
At that time, it was left alone after he dropped the claim. The State simply wasn’t interested in pursuing these types of things criminally.
They are now.
From farmers in Kerry claiming for 120 cows when they only have 100, to civil servants exploiting overtime budgets, to all the way up to this sh’t, fraud and people pulling fast ones has to be rooted out and condemned.
We are not at Russian levels of corruption, and naturally we are not angels either. I am not trying to paint a poor picture of our country. You will always have these things within a population. But come on, everyone here knows someone pulling a fast one, let’s be honest. And it has to stop.
The neck.
Father Ted is relevant even, with yerman “running the gas off the electricity, and the electricity off the gas, and saving £100 a year”; and the other guy (may even have been the same guy) who found the insurance so expensive that he “had to crash the car to get the money back”. These were not just jokes; they were holding a mirror to us all. Call it cute-hoorism or whatever you want to call it, it’s time to move on as a country and condemn those who would pull a fast one like this.
I know this guy is not Irish. I’m not interested in the racial angle of the story. I’m interested in the wider point we have to confront: people pulling fast ones and getting away with it. It has to stop. Prosecute more of these fxckers; especially here where they give insurance companies more rope to fleece us with.
As someone who suffers from Crohns disease , reading stuff like that infuriates me. Ive been sick before and only got 140 a week from the government , because i lived at home. I got sent to the social welfare doctor for them to examine me because they didnt believe I was sick even though i had letters from my doctor who deals with Crohns. I’ve constantly been employed when im not sick and have never claimed unemployment.
And yet some randomer can come here , never lift a finger and get housed, medical card , have loads of kids , without having contributed a cent to the economy. It’s a disgrace. I know other people with my disease that cant even get a medical card and yet they roll out the red carpet for wasters
Fair play to the MIBI for challenging his claim, more insurers need to do it. Insurance fraud is rampant in Ireland,
>Mr Fitzgerald said the MIBI has adopted a fighting fraud strategy in recent years, an approach he said was paying off, with fewer suspicious claims being submitted. “People know how we will act if they come to us with a suspicious or fraudulent claim and how hard we will come after them if we think what they are saying is false,” he said.
The implication of this is that they did not fight fraud previously. (Which isn’t actually true, but that’s a separate point.)
I think he should start looking for royalties for the amount of threads started about him.
An absolute parasite. I can only imagine how many more are playing the system for decades while working citizens (often struggling) pay their way for them
Didn’t Joseph Puska have similar “injury”. What sort of absolute tramps are we allowing into this country. Our laws around EU citizens living off social welfare in perpetuity need to be overhauled.
We can legally turf him out and yet we won’t. There is freedom of movement in Europe, but there are specific provisions that allow host countries to kick out social welfare shoppers. It makes no sense that he and his family are still allowed to live here.
Deport him
The minister of justice has the power to deport any person that are EU national or non EU nationals
