I moved to work in Ireland last decade. A nice town, small population. I was gobsmacked one day walking into the local supermarket to find a one armed old man begging outside, and he was from Eastern Europe. He couldn't speak English. He honestly looked dishevelled, unshaven, clothes dirty and had a cardboard hand written sign stating 'homeless and hungry'. Of course being a small town with its own local newspaper, people were concerned, how did he get here, where was he staying etc. He was the talk of the town as there was no homeless people in this town. Sure enough it came out that he was brought to Ireland to beg and lived in a house miles from this town with other 'beggars'. He would be dropped off in all weathers at this supermarket. He was also allowed to claim benefits. You just couldn't make this up. Soon enough, we had Big Issue sellers outside various places in the town including the banks and post office, all claiming they were homeless. There was no homeless people in this town before Ireland joined the EU, now there was an influx of professional beggars claiming they were homeless. I think the Irish cottoned on to what these people were doing, and going back to the town lasts summer (first time since 2012) there was no beggars. Apparently they had moved on to the likes of Dublin and Limerick as takings had dropped considerably in smaller towns.
