Limerick: Kelly brother appeals Social Welfare allowance refusal
A former Limerick criminal who spent almost €100,000 on foreign holidays, cars and a security system for his family's home, has appealed a decision by The Department of Social Welfare to refuse him a disability allowance.
Anthony Kelly - a brother of the late Limerick Alderman and self-confessed criminal Michael Kelly - claims he is entitled to the allowance of €165 a week, despite having netted more than €118,000 profit from the sale of a house in Co Limerick two years ago.
