Presumably the same way we verify claims from Irish people - I don't see what the non-national issue has to do with it.Murt10 said:so the partner living abroad now submits a letter, along with birth certs, stating that they now have the care of their brothers or sisters 6 children who they state are now living with them. How are we going to prove that they are nor.
so if anything has changed perhaps it's just bringing Ireland into line with prevailing rules applied elsewhere in the EU?Child Benefit and EU Regulations
If you work in a country covered by EU Regulations, this country usually pays Child Benefit even if your family is living in another country. For more information on how EU rules affect Child Benefit, contact Child Benefit Section (see 'Where to apply' below).
Countries covered by EU Regulations are: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lichenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherland, United Kingdom (excluding the Channel Islands)
Great to hear the "non nationals nicking the fish from the canals" story is still doing the rounds. I hadn't heard it in a while and was worried that it had died out. It's up there with the Chinese immigrants eating the ducks from the canals (previously, in pre-immigration days it was Chinese takeaways serving them or even seagulls to unsuspecting punters) in terms of Irish urban legends about those bloody foreigners...
If anybody is genuinely concerned about illegal fishing or dumping by anybody (regardless of nationality) and has genuine grounds for suspecting them of same then surely the onus is on them to report this behaviour to the relevant authorities. By the way, I'm not aware of any law that precludes people from sleeping in their motorised vehicle if they so choose.
Good guess - it is as it happens.franmac said:Your name is'nt Thomas by any chance?
What happened with all that rod license stuff? Don't people need a license to fish in public waters?On one of my walks in July of this year I discovered hidden in the hedgerow nets and other equipment that could be assembled and stretched across the canal which I confiscated and contacted the Central Fisheries Board and told them of my find. They asked me to hold on to it and they would send personnel out to collect it as they were anxious to see what these people were using. The CFB are very aware of the problem but until a bill can be passed to restrict the amount of fish taken out of the canal their hands are tied. Dail closed for summer holidays
Sorry - I don't understand this sentence. Perhaps you can clarify.People were arriving during the day and feeding certain areas with, by the empty bags left on the banks,stating explosive feed etc. and the netters would arrive about dusk when most of our normal canal bank users ie dog walkers, joggers, birdwatchers,daddy with his young children to fish a recreational sport that we have always enjoyed. We have English anglers knocking at our door and crying "They are cleaning it out"
If there is some wrongdoing here then surely somebody can do something about it?Regarding reporting these people to the relevant authorities, there is a van (on our canal bank) that carries a small boat similar to the "cots that are used on the Barrow and Suir rivers " and a fish finder and they have been fishing but when CFB approached them about fishing in the canal they said "we would'nt fish here your canals are filthy" our young people enjoy canoeing and swimming in our lovely canal.
Have you followed this up with the Gardaí yourself? Where you suspect that a crime is being committed then calling 999/112 guarantees that the call is logged and responded to.Back to reporting people for illegal fishing the Garda were rang on numerous occasions and have never followed through.
Was there evidence of some crime being committed?I can go back to the van ( mentioned in the last paragraph ) and as far as we were concerned it was suspect and we asked the Garda to check the registeration and they came back and told us that they hav'ent a clue who owns it.
I am Thomas/ClubMan. What has that to do with anything?So it may not be against the law to sleep in your motorised van but who are you ?
CMCR said:the amount of Irish Child Benefit paid, will depend on whether another EEA State is also paying a Family Benefit in respect of the same child(ren).
In other words therefore, an EU national working in Ireland will not be in receipt of the same level of child benefit in Ireland where they are in receipt of Child Benefit in respect of the same children in their home country.
Not an interrogation - just trying to clarify a few issues that you mentioned. But feel free not to if you so choose.franmac said:I am not going to reply to most of your interrogation
I still don't understand your "who are you" comment or some other earlier comments that I mentioned above.but I wish to state that my last statement on my thread "So it may not be against the law to sleep in your motorised van but who are you" was not directed at you.
Lets go to the van that was reported to our local Garda, they presumed it was a Northern Ireland reg. but when checked on their computer they could not find a registered owner.
If my car reg. was checked on the same computer they immediately have my name and address.
