So George wants the rest of us to pay off his debt because he made mistakes and he found it difficult, and now he wants a fresh start. Has he learned anything???

Haha,i love their is no jag in the shots,the staff are no where to be seen,do u wonder why??? and more lies from the man himself. Great tv licence money again for RTE.If any1 here backs him i d love to hear from you

Vizzy

I watched the programme.
Firstly, you have to take your hat off to George, he basically told the banks to f**k off and they did.
Don't think that George would be as forgiving if you bought a car off him and refused to pay him.
Obviously there will be some pain for him but he is still living in a €1m house, driving an English reg jag and still has all the trappings of success.

Having said that, the arrogance of the man is immense(I was going to say unbelievable but nothing is unbelievable when you think of it).
I can't afford €75 a month for Sky but I'm happy to go for a lesser package(and yes it has the Simpsons on Sunday for the kids, in fact RTE screen the Simpsons and you don't have to pay anything extra).

Before anyone forgets, the amount of Georges debt that is written off is being paid for by every citizen in the country

There was no mention of the other businesses that he has in town( they may not be in his name but he owns them no matter what way you look at it)
Then he has the cheek to blame "professional advice" for his problems.
News for you George, if you sold a dud car you would be sued so why not sue your professional advisors ?
Lastly, he said that if he was in the US he could declare himself bankrupt and then start to trade again.
Well George, off you go to the US, you won't be missed.

At the end of the day you took a gamble, you lost. Tough s**t

Maybe you could write a book about it .............. Oh wait.

Helso said that he would not give up sky as he had spent millions on refurbing on the showrooms etc but forgot it was not his money. The bit about what he could do in the states shows what he thinks of the people left to pay his bills

I loved how the people in Stone House were only the workers and family,he has nt a friend left in the world.He is only out for 1 person himself.My heart bleeds NOT he cant be to bad off,since he went on more then 1 holiday this year.

His bit about screwing up jobs also shows he woukd have nothing if he did not have a rich pop

copy1

i know a lot is right,and yes only for daddy he would be no-where,and look how he paid him back,Brian Snr is a Gentleman and would do anything to help you if needed..unlike his sons

Vizzy

Don't fool yourselves lads/ladies about him not having a friend.
There are loads of people in Tipp who lap up this kind of stuff and will staunchly defend George and his ilk cos "it is people like him, entrepreneurs, who are the backbone of the country".
I have seen this personally when he is like the Messiah, surrounded by his disciples.
Make no mistake, there are people in Portlaoise, or Portumna or Portrush who think he is the MAN .

More worrying is the fact that the likes of RTE are promoting this

I was amazed though that he made it out of the Conference in Cork alive.
( A bit like a black guy addressing the annual conference of the Klu Klux Klan)

Back to Clonmel News, Bakers bar are opening thier long awaited new bar tonight. Had a sneak peak earlier today and I must say its quiet nice in there. Hope it goes well for them.

dedocdude

noticed the infamous Jag was not on show alright - id still like to know the mechanics of how he does it - i would do it myself if i could get away with it! as for being an "entrepreneur" - i don't see how selling japanese hatchbacks in rural Ireland in the family business is being an entrepreneur and i especially cant see how it can land you in near 18 million quids worth of debt - sure Pa and Clive Moore up the road from George have a similar stock of cars these days, operating out of a portacabin - but Pa is a 2nd hand car salesman, not an entrepreneur. Pa also had a franchise not that long ago, so many differences yet so many similarities between the two.

As for Bakers Bar, i might dag in tomorrow for a look, i really hope they do something with the urinal in the gents toilet - there is a sheet of ply that is soaking p1ss into it on the ground where you stand - pretty grim, otherwise its not a bad bar, i would go the odd time for one but only on the way to Phils.

Never noticed that to be honest. The new bar will hopefully liven up the scene in town a bit. I believe they're going for a different scene to O Keeffes, a more mature crowd.

With all the pubs closing down in the country its great to see one opening up.

Bakers is beside Phill Carrolls...

Does Georges Missus have a business of her own? That might pay for the Sky package. Thought we might have been told how he was going to pay back the €18,000,000.

The thing is George's only notable achievement to date is taking his Dad's good name and business he started from scratch and destroying it, yet he still thinks his achievements warrant his opninions being foisted on the rest of us. A proper cock if you ask me. I've known him since he was a kid by the way nothing new here.

Looks like George won't be moving for a while. The old Gbm garage is currently on fire. Gas main leak apparently...
