Well Alaskaonline got a second one as well. Chances are that the same mail merge/SQL query was done again, and thinking about it probably by accident/ineptitude rather than on purpose.
They really can't win can they?
Nope, not when they send out the same letter to the same people every few months.

exactly!
i got mine twice within 9 months (!!!) and not within two years, that is a difference jaybird. and before sending out these letters, why not check who is employed in ireland, pays the full wack of irish taxes etc.? i find it a bit hypocritical to treat me very irish when it comes to payments like taxes and yet indicating at the same time, that i might not need cb for my daughter cause i could have left the country and therefore checking every couple of months on me via these letters.
i don't really get it and yes, i can be offended over it if i want to especially when those who dont work, dont pay taxes and just technically spoken are more "free" to leave this country are not checked on once within the last 15 years.
get this "checking up" system on people right - it saves us a lot of tax money!
Give it a rest, Towger! It's a letter 'every few months' now, is it?
I really doubt if Welfare have a programme which can isolate names which are not what may be perceived to be traditionally not Irish and go about sending a mailshot to those people.
The selection is done by isolating the field with code given to nationalities when claim is registered (i.e 01=Irish, 02= English, etc.), nothing to do with 'Irish-sounding surnames'.It could be on either. The system for paying the money via EFT is MS SQL/.NET based, so it would actually be easy to filter out non Irish surnames. I have heard of credit card application systems who reject people with 4 or more syllables in their surnames as a means of filtering out certain ethnic groups.
