Deserving of what? She's not on social welfare. They paid for insurance, made a claim, company produced an allegedly erroneous report so they could stop paying, she's calling calling shenanigans. Fair enough.

What she's doing on liveline though is beyond me, apart from me king a very public eejit of herself

And then they screw you.

Get everyone registered, then have no exceptions to the charge next year. That way there's not too much backlash from the public next year.

I`m not going to register before the 31st, will give the council workers an opportunity to visit me and them to claim travel and subsistence

She's not communicating very well for someone who claims great communication skills......albeit for a hairdresser.

So what is the point lady? You're complaining about having to meet entry requirements to go live in someone elses country? :rolleyes:

Harry Angstrom

She should have told them her first language was Irish. Then she would have passed it on a lower mark. Simples.

Yakuza

"I don't think that this is irrelevant for this test" - afraid the auld English let you down there, love.
