Do it for Leo's sake, rat out your neighbour
If you're inventing a fraud problem, Leo, you ought to at least get the technical bit right
Last Friday afternoon, I went online to the Department of Social Protection's website - welfare.ie. There, I found the fraud tip-off page. A glaring red warning sign said there are criminals "cheating welfare". It says that last year the department saved €500m "thanks to people like you".
This is not true. That isn't savings recovered from cheats, and it doesn't come from tip-offs.
Then, in pursuit of my duty as a citizen of the Republic, I reported someone for abuse of social welfare. It felt good.
