a person can qualify for the benefits if they are out of work for three consecutive days out of a six-day week, but Sundays are not counted.

u can speak, in complete confidence, to an Information Officer in the Information and Advocacy Services section directly at 01 - 856 0088, Monday - Friday 9.30 am to 5.00 pm

She should have notified the social welfare especially if she didn't get paid by cash into hand. she would technically be Scott free if she received the cash into hand, they would never know that way,other than that theres no way of hiding.

My nephew got caught only recently after workin a week. He thought something might come of it more permanent. He got called in to d inspector and acted stupid said he didnt think he had to cut off his claim cause it was only a few days. He repayed the money and no more happened his dole was bak d following week.
Hope ur friend has a good outcome. There is plenty of people workin full time and claiming. Them pr**ks never get

Nothing more to add, but I hope it works out for your mate. I'd echo what Ted said. Tell your mate just hold her hands up. I doubt she'll be in major trouble.
