Public services card

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP

Just got mine in the post. Never applied for one but they cogged my photo and signature off my driving licence application.

The letter (with no eircode) tells me I need to produce it if I'm collecting a social welfare payment. I've never gotten such a payment ever and I'll eventually get a pension payment in 15 years.

How to keep the card safe till then?

I know. I'll hide it under the cover for the water meter.....

It's a great country entirely....

Just renewed my passport online using my pps number (which isn't displayed on the card) and thankfully I'm gone beyond driving tests. So I've a pps number a passport, a passport card, a driving licence and now a public services card. I might need a bigger wallet

The card is an absolute scam. One step closer to big brother is watching you. It's not simply an ID card like other countries have it. Eventually all your personal data from tax over bills down to your medical history will be connected to it. There are already claims that the card breaches privacy protection laws...

Well I can see it useful for people who are getting social welfare payments. And I know they know lots about me already. If they know all about me they know I'm not entitled to any social welfare payments.

So why give me and every man woman and child like me a card I'll never use?

Less fraud. Worked in social welfare a few years ago the amount of social welfare fraud going on in this country is shocking.

The rights of the many should not be removed to watch a small minority. It's classic big brother approach.

We should all be assumed innocent, and not assumed guilty and need of fraud tracking.

If they need to track social welfare people, place facial recognition systems in the offices, or even fingerprint scanners.

Crime always responds best to specific targeting.

Just look at the UK, they started rolling out car tracking systems in the UK under the guise of stopping the IRA and terrorism. It didn't stop either and is mainly used to track normal people and make them pay money for entering certain areas.

The most heavily monitored area in the world, and moped gangs mug you and remove their helmet to show their face, and never get caught.

But be an ordinary person and drive into a yellow box and good luck escaping them.

This card will be used the same, to target ordinary people, and add pain to those doing everything right.

This argument implies that someone has something to hide if he/she is against it. Seriously I've nothing to hide either but at the same time I've no interest that any institution collects very personal and important information about myself in the first place and secondly outsources the managing of the data to some private company in the US. Who guarantees the safety of such data and what's being done with it? It's sheer madness! Whenever any Irish government has undertaken a project of such scale it ended up in a major fuck up. And it won't be different with that one, mark my words.

Where am I

So I left ireland in 2009. And moved to uk for work. I still have my social welfare card and in 2012 I got a letter saying that they over paid me 2k as I was out of work for 9 months. I questioned it with them and they said I should have checked. Anyway after long arguments with them saying we will take it from your next employers contribution to which I said best of luck I no longer work in ireland so tough. So what do you think they will do with my state pension when it is due. After all I paid into the system for 30 years.

"Less fraud. Worked in social welfare a few years ago the amount of social welfare fraud going on in this country is shocking. "

The amount of tax evasion is the real shocker. Vulture funds registered as charities to avoid tax! All aided and abbetted by the government and the Department of Finance. Ans I wonder does Regina Doherty or Leo Varadkar have to produce their own public service card to collect their massive wages
