Why is she crying?

ppink

well I hope the sons and grandsons are proud listening to this.....and comfortable:(

Big Daddy Cool

Tears more tears c'mon love you can do it, you are not on the line warning people to sat away from lenders, you are on the line because you want somebody to bail you out.

And the welfare officer etc would have furnished the house for her son etc if needed. There is more to this story than we are hearing, he is a money lending scumbag but there has to be more than this.

my friend

Broken legs? might help her forget about the Arthritis

WTF is wrong with the RTE stream? It works for a minute and then stops.

shockwave

Shes ringing up to get someone to pay off her debts....and someone will, they always fall for a sob story

ooPabsoo

She accepted a €2000 loan from a loan shark, with 250% interest. No sympathy whatsoever.

Stripey Cat

I can't understand what she is saying. Are they filtering her voice to disguise her identity?

baldbear

Big Daddy Cool

I'm sorry but i'm finding this Laughable now, she's great

Accent sounds more Cork City (Northside) to be honest.

Stripey Cat

What did she want the two thousand for?

my friend

this stinks. I smell a rat

That_Guy

Should this really be on national radio?

vicwatson

To get her son and grandson house done up/a place to rent, its all a bit dodgy imo. If her son needed somewhere to live the welfare would have given rent etc and money for furniture.

ooPabsoo

She's a feckin lunatic.

syklops

"Are you a member of the Credit Union or the St Vincent de Paul"

Ones a financial organisation and the other is a charity.

Spudmonkey

No Joe her main reason for ringing in is to get money from the fund. Not to warn other people.

wyrn

I'm normally quite cynical of Liveline callers but I think some of the posters here are quite harsh. Yeah she was stupid to go to a loanshark but god help her, no one should go through this. Whatever her reasons for going on the show, if this puts off one person from going to a money lender, then fair play to her. I really find this quite harrowing, not what she says but what's in her voice. I'd hate for anyone in my family to have that desperation and fear in the voice.

Yakuza

I am at a loss for words to describe how I feel about these scumbag moneylenders.

Why oh why didn't she go to the Credit Union or a bank?

People need basic money handling skills to be taught in school.

That_Guy

Cash for gold.

my friend

baldbear

Cash for gold!. Joe will get a whole week out of this

Zulu

cash for gold? great!
