Thanks Peter...yes, I gathered that to start the ball rolling I'd just need to move over there as a fulltime resident, and find myself a fulltime job to pay the rent (ideally for at least 6 months). :smile:

The fact that I have dozens of relatives over there might help make life a little more interesting though, during my self-imposed exile.

Ireland is the same as UK no need to get a job to become a resident there :biggrin:

Now where have I heard similar ???

'Ireland? It's a great country for a criminal'

The organised begging that the Government had supposedly moved to stop two years ago with the introduction of new anti-begging legislation has been thwarted by legal challenge all the way to the High Court. Young Roma women beggars who, Gardai say, are often talented pickpockets are again back on the streets in large numbers.

The male members of the Roma gypsy gangs are often involved in a wide variety of theft from ATM skimming to shoplifting and stealing scrap metal. Recently, Gardai arrested three Roma men who had been using foil-lined bags to counter security tags and steal clothing from stores in Dublin. The men were carrying clothing with an estimated value of €15,000. In their car was more clothing with a similar value and at a house gardai raided they found another €30,000 worth of stolen clothing.

Two weeks ago, Gardai in Dublin put on display an Aladdin's cave cache of stolen mobile phones, jewellery, clothing and other goods found in a raid on a house in north Dublin.

...And so it will continue until the authorities come to their senses, punish these thieving parasites properly, and then PERMANENTLY ban them from entry into the country.

In the old days of course, the locals would have given them a good hiding and sent them packing.
