    Whatever it is hasn't gone away you know. That is a bit worrying.

    But those who live in mortgaged premises without paying anything, and owe money to Revenue, and left right and centre need to be dealt with too. Otherwise why the heck would anyone pay a mortgage payment ever. I'd say plenty are still living mortgage free as we speak. Says it all for those who struggled to pay and keep their dignity.

    But anyway. I have no time for the freeloaders.

    Funny how these stories become a little clearer once you dig a bit.

    See Margaret Cash, see Erica Fleming.

    I’ve never been more convinced of my belief that these people are only to blame for their situation and it’s not the governments fault one bit.

    I just hope is that this doesn't turn into a successful recruitment drive for Freeman of the land Gilroy and his vellow yests, or tiger reborn or whatever alfies army is calling itself this week.

    Lots of calls for revolution, riots, general anarchy, the burning of the Dáil, the lynching of 'that zulu vradker' etc. etc. arising from this, and it is going completely uncontested on the major forms of social media. (Contest it at your peril, I won't ever try again anyway)

    However, one big thing I can see going against the yellow vests is that they're not racist enough, seems to be a bugbear for a lot of people who would like to pursue a career in protesting but also don't like the darkies.


    Hoping this just blows over, maybe some optics from the government might calm the more reasonable folk attaching themselves to this...

    Reasonable folk will just walk on by, Gilroy, Yellow Vests and Roscommon will all be forgotten about again in no time.

    Everyone from the top down has to accept responsibility for their choices in life and be willing to accept the consequences if those choices go bad.

    Simply saying ‘well x takes no responsibility so I won’t either’ or ‘x made me do it’ isn’t good enough.

    This man has debts going back at least a decade which he apparently refused to pay. He brought this whole thing on himself.

    That's the problem it's a lack of responsibility /accountability from the top down. So the ordinary Joe sees the big boys getting away with it and says feck it sure I'll give it a go to . If there was a real sense of leadership in the country as opposed to the elected lining their own purse it'd prob trickle down along the line.

    Like I said it’s no excuse for shirking your responsibilities.

    I have no problem paying back loans I have taken. I have a mortgage and a business loan, I have never not paid on any debt ever, even when it was difficult for me.
    The country has created a situation where banks and developers have a culture of getting debt forgiven, why is it a surprise when ordinary people take the same stance?

    I understand that you dont want to admit your mistake but I find in life that actually taking responsibility for your errors brings great relief and joy to your life. It gives one a release. It's a bit like paying your debts, you know the thing that everyone should do.

    The loans were sold at a discount, the people of Ireland through the government are paying back the balance. The full value of the loans was not paid by the banks and the developers, Joe public took up the billions of slack.
    Thanks you Irish munchkins.

    Did you miss this part?


    “The bank intends to put the shareholder in a position whereby the full €20.8 billion invested in the bank by the State can be recovered and is confident of doing so over time,”

    What effort did this farmer do to pay any of his debts back?

    What about the state discount on the loans? Is this to be paid back to the state or are Irish citizens paying these billions because the banks made bad loans to developers. What effort did the banks make to pay these now state debts?

    Because these people owe money and did not pay it back. Judges do not grant repossession orders lightly in Ireland. So there must have been quite an amount of intransigence on the debtors’ part to get to this point.

    Also, every unpaid/delinquent mortgage is added as a cost to the mortgage/financial products for the rest of us. So we are indirectly paying for these debtors’ refusal to pay. Sorry, that’s not good enough for me.

    But that's the point. They are not comparable. In one case the farmer is being held to the consequences of not supporting the debt. In the case of the banks etc. the vast vast majority weren't.

    the fact they supposibly "resisted" doesn't matter to me as they weren't resisting arrest or the gardai moving them on which would be a different story as the gardai are the authority of the state unlike this lot.

    Nobody knows what he has or hasn't paid. That's the only true fact in all this.

    Everything else written here is pure conjecture. All the previous judgements could be paid off by now for all we know.

    Even the presence of a valid court order is in doubt. They appear to have proper legal representation now, so maybe the actual facts will emerge in time but for now nobody really knows anything.

    My own thoughts are that if such a man was so much of a chancer, which is what is being proposed by so many here, there is no way on earth that neighbours would provide such unwavering support and stand outside the property in solidarity in the wind and the rain all through the night.
