I’ll be kicking him out of my house after Xmas.
Sorry, but it's hard to have sympathy for a man who stole tens of thousands from his neighbours over a 10-12 year period by not paying his taxes. I have lots of sympathy for you though!
Has he signed on for Job Seekers Allowance or spoken to anyone in DSP?
Though I do agree with Purple.
Where has all the money gone ? Did he have any insurance/vat no. etc in all them years ?
Famous last words ?
It's not really fair to say he stole from everyone unless we knew how much he made. Maybe he wouldn't even have been liable for tax, we don't know.
Anyway OP in some ways it's irrelevant as even if he had registered as self employed and paid prsi etc he would not be eligible to claim Jobseekers Benefit now. He would only have been able to apply for Jobseekers Allowance, the means tested version, he can still apply for this now but it will be means tested, I am not sure if they will take your income into account, I would be inclined to think they will but I am sure someone can give a more accurate answer on that.
'He's a good man overall. When he has/had money everyday is Christmas for everybody (idiotic I know) but there never has been any talking to him.'
wow might be a bit harsh to kick out after Xmas then ........

Reasons are just too numerous to mention here and now but believe me. If we sat down and filled you in on his years of inaction that led to his situation now you'd be kicking him out tomorrow.
There is no point giving him a place to stay without a deadline because he wont do anything about his situation.
He needs to sort his life out, be able to support himself. His 18yr old son starts college in two weeks and neither his mam or his dad have the money to give or loan him the cash to pay the deposit for his accommodation (Me stepping in there too).
/sigh
Just to clarify an earlier point made, your income will not be assessed in any means test carried out for the purposes of a SW claim made by your father.
As others have said, the hardest thing he will face when he makes a claim is explaining what he has been doing for the past 10 years, when there is no record of PRSI contributions or employment, or other SW income.
What I would like to see is him going in, getting assessed for a settlement, given a tax clearance so he can work and garnish his salary X amount for whatever years but I don’t know if it works like that.
