hi alpha,
I completely understand where you are coming from but it is a bit unrealistic to say you lived in a country for 9 months without using a bank. how else will proof centre of life was moved. I agree that you could have been paid by cheque, but again that raises a lot of question because majority of employers pay into account and the ones that pay by cheque give you cheques that have to be paid into a bank account.
am not disputing your story I am just expressing an opinion from the case workers point of view. even if you never used your bank for salary, did u at least open an account in Ireland. if yes regardless of if your salary went into that account or not just print the statement. that was why I referred you to the guidance form for the eea2 its pretty clear on list of supporting documents to satisfy the basic requirement of ss route.
if you have other means of satisfying COL such as evidence of integration i.e did u join a local club, library membership, church/mosque membership, store membership etc that might help ur case
