Social Welfare Casebase
This section contains a unique database of social welfare appeals case decisions. Casebase allows people to search for cases similar to their own by the type of social welfare benefit(s) being appealed. Casebase is also searchable by date and various keywords are provided to help people narrowly define their search and obtain optimum and accurate results.
The Northside Community Law Centre is proud to establish Casebase, which is the first of its kind in Ireland. The social welfare service provides vital financial support for those at risk of, or experiencing, poverty in Irish Society, and it is the Law Centre's work in advising and representing people with welfare problems that has prompted the development of Casebase. Social Welfare Appeals Officers' decisions currently are not published, although the Social Welfare Appeals Office does publish case studies in it’s annual report and on it’s website (see link below). Casebase provides a database of decisions and the rationale for those decisions and will help anyone involved in taking a similar case to appeal.
