How is it possible that nearly 300 people owed more than €100,000 apiece in back payments at the end of 2022?

Went to pick up my dole once in 2011 and got paid extra for a dependent I didn’t have, was great.

How have they overpaid that much and I’m still on half after 5 months of telling them the same thing and waiting.

Meanwhile, let’s run another 1 billion over on the building of the new children’s hospital!

Keen to understand how this happened and what efforts going to be made to recover the monies. We have a gaping hole in health, infrastructure as well as ramping up the IPAS system which is going to need billions across future budgets

Minister Dara Calleary shows there was a “significant stock” of social welfare overpayments with an outstanding balance of €558 million in October 2024. Of that, around 67% of people who received overpayments of €266 million are listed as “not repaying”.

It’s only your hard earned income they are wasting. Don’t worry about it.

You’d think they would be very focused on not giving overpayments in the first instance.

If they are refusing to come into an arrangement to repay it just cut them off the welfare until it’s been long enough to repay the overpayment might incentivise them to work a bit.
Same with social houses if they are not paying rent just kick them out plenty of people out there that would be delighted to pay.
