This is BS, Joe trying to compare this to Anglo trial..........Patrick Neary should have been the man in the dock

This won't Joe, or his callers say, look at this man going to jail when those lads got away with it.

He's not a fan of comparing like with like.

He was not sentenced to prison for his offence, it's for not paying a fine!

Facts are irrelevant.

I hate when people wear the fact that they never received a penny in state aid as some kind of badge of pride.

It suggests that there is something inferior about those whe genuinely rely on it and deserve it.

Meathlass

Oh god, I really don't know am I able for this today.

The Anglo lads were convicted on a very specfic article of Company Law. Are we going to have every one who's ever been sentanced on complaining now.

Someone needs to clean around Clontarf.

snubbleste

What does he mean that people's stories were untrue? You mean the researchers actually do some research?

ThisRegard

No Joe, he's only going to go as far as the motorway exit. WTF do you think happens.

SEPT 23 1989

this would be funny if it wasnt so serious

Hitchens

Is there more to this lad's back story?

neris

how do you get into the prison ask joe.

through the door, duh

JM Skipton

This is what bothers me about Liveline, Anglo case was complex and yes people rightly want blood for it but instead of looking at the facts Joe brings on someone, who nobody knows what his background is, to try to whip up a storm.

..and will the guard have a car??
...will have have a beard??
...a moustache??

Roger_007

His family doesn't know but he is telling his story on national radio!

Yes, she will :cool:

SEPT 23 1989

give us a ring when you get settled in the cell

Lapin

Loads of people foresaw the crash.

The chose not to borrow recklessly.

Meathlass

He's been sentanced for 4 days so in all liklihood he'll be out by tomorrow evening.

Hitchens

Wonder will Joe pay his €700 fine?:)

ThisRegard

LOL, that's speculative. Speculation is the basis for how Joes gets 75 minutes per day out of some stories.

mickydoomsux

How dare this woman speak something approaching sense!

Get her, Joe!

snubbleste

If you had the option of a €7k fine or four days in prison - which would you take?

CountyHurler

Oh God... Was this woman listening the last six years... The Government DID step in to stop Anglo from falling and pulling the rest of the banks down...

I dont get this crap that the judge is trying to say that the bank was put in a precarious position by Sean Quinn... The way they were lending long term with from their own short term borrowings, it was gonna end in absolute disaster as soon as the access to funds began to freeze up..

Never saw a boom yet that wasn't followed by a bust - different direct cause every time, but the same underlying reason.

I thought the €7K was reduced to €700?

Is this David McSavage?

Due Diligence. Someone tell that lad about it.

Exactly right, Matt Cooper even had a topic on the last word in July 2007 discussing all the construction workers about to be laid off just before the builders holidays, they were calling it "Black Friday".

My stream dropped. What's this, 2 people not toeing the Duffy lynch mob line ?

And Bertie told everyone who could see the other foot dropping to hang themselves and stop being such dry****es and get another credit card.

Joe's regulators, (researchers), not doing their job!........heads will roll!

ThisRegard

Jaysus Joe, would you at least read up on the analysis of the judgement by people who actually know what they're talking about before you have a show about it.

CountyHurler

This woman doesnt have a clue does she.. Joe will keep her on for the whole show..

baldbear

The auld lady hasn't a clue. Duffy will shoot whoever let her through.

Meathlass

Jasus Joe is very indignant about this.

Must of had Anglo shares

A neighbour of mine had €700 in fines for 2 motoring offences and no TV licence. She couldn't/wouldn't pay. Eventually she had to do the time. two guards 1M 1F brought her from the Donegal border to Mountjoy, stopping for lunch on the way. She did 4 hours on the Joy and they gave her a bus ticket back to Sligo.

SEPT 23 1989

There is no documentation in relation to the night of the guarantee NONE

whats the point of an inquiry??

But how is that possible, or credible. Why not make the Finance Minister (is that who Neary reported to) say what was happening.

Stop paying these wasters off with golden handshakes and big pensions, freeze their cash and make them say what happened

She should have rang Liveline.

It'll give a retired judge something to do for an extra bit of money to go with his pension.

No. She'll still have to pay, with interest.

That was Cowen wasn't it? :rolleyes:

Roger_007

Patrick Neary's lawyers are preparing to sue RTE as we speak!

JM Skipton

Forget about an inquiry......It should be voted into law that anyone involved in the bank guarantee should have all pension entitlements revoked and let them take the country to court if they are not happy with it

snubbleste wrote: »

She did. one of the cops paid for all and got a receipt.

Meathlass

He bought Anglo shares in late 2008!!!!!

Hang on, this is after the guarantee, wasn't it? What kind of an idiot is yer man!
