Apparently big numbers expected at the protest today. Gaurds all over Strokestown already. Really hope that it's not used as an excuse for trouble and if people go it's with the intent of making a point and not just to stir the pot and cause trouble.

I am all for protests. I think the Irish are terrible for their fear of protesting. It's a colonial thing with a bit of Catholic guilt thrown in. However you need to pick your battles and the incident at Strokestown is not one of them.

SF out there fighting the good fight and yet dropping in polls. I don't get it? what more do people want?!

It's not a good fight.

This Strokestown story is hugely damaging to them.

I tend to agree with this. I think the reason a lot of fellow Roscommon people are upset is the fact the evicters had such a pro loyalist and anti Irish attitude.

wow, ex isis, really? Is this why we are bringing in refugees from war zones? To carry out the 15,000 evictions
If that was the truth there would be civil war but no its not whats really going to happen. What did just happen was you exposed yourself to be an extremist of a sort.

That's a lot of crazy conclusions to jump to in one post.

What anti Irish attitude did anyone have? I certainly didn't see an anti Irish attitude in any of the videos. In fact, you are the only person to come to that conclusion.

yeah but what more can they do? their well constructed fiscal policies and commitment to law and order are second to none. And Mary Lou is a woman. they tick all the boxes.

In fairness, that's the spin from the Shinners and most people would immediately Think"oh that's terrible. They don't want you to look further into it.

Only when you look further into it you see the misrepresentation from that side, there was no anti irish attitude, no one got dragged by the ears, they blatantly ignore the fact your man never paid anyone be they big business, small business, or Revenue, a serial defaulter.

The funniest for me is them describing him as elderly. I'm coming up to 50 and if anyone described me as elderly, I'd hit the roof.

This is both funny and very true. People will say anything if they feel it will improve their agenda.

The inhumanity!!!!!!!

Of course theres local rumours.
Sure every bit of land these days rumoured to be bought by travellers. Every house rumoured to be bought by council to put crack whores into.

The countryside loves bull**** rumours

Mary Lou picked the wrong week to bugger off on holiday to Palestine (wasn't the Dail in session last week and all?), her personal rating as well as the partys are on the decline in the latest poll

Well, she won’t lose an eye after Leo’s shot at her, even though he hit the mark.
Nice British Burberry she’s wearing though.

So presumably they were encouraging the people to leave the house in the years running up to the day when the bank were going through the courts?

Thered have been no need for security if they'd walked out on their own.

Correcting someone about your nationality isn't "anti irish"

To be honest that's as far as I get in a lot of your posts. I check if a certain poster has thanked it. If he has then I'm fairly sure it's not worth reading and just move on.

It's nothing to do with them any more.

Because of the mob mentality and the fact that most of the chimps who follow the likes of Gilroy et al don't have 2 brain cells to rub together.

Do Cabot have an office in Dublin?

Do you know what, I was going to ask the exact same question on the SF fb page.

Go on and have a look at the KBC protest photos. One photo shows a load of SF protesters in a Bank with a clearly stressed young Bank Employee. They are standing there like complete zombies. It reminds me of the Eoin McLove episode in Father Ted.

Ffs leave the lad alone.

The fact they are contuing tvese "protests" despite being fully aware the Roscommon guy is a complete chancer says more about them.

I also notice they have not issued any statement condoning the burning of 2 KBC branches.

Not just coming under fire, but being set on fire. As someone here pointed out, all that will achieve is a few badly-paid junior clerks being frightened. The funny side of it is that KBC management might decide to pull out of Ireland as a result of the intimidation and sell the rest of their loan book to funds.
There are lads here who seem to think that KBC means King Billy’s Coppers or something like that.

Yes, really. After all, it led you to a false conclusion. And a lazy one.

Maybe your problem is that you are only capable of seeing two angles.

Even people I totally disagree with, I read what they post. I don't go looking at the 'thanks'.

I see more attacks and protests at KBC. I really dispair that this sort of nonsense is emerging. I'd seriously like to see these idiots have to defend their actions to a panel of mortgage payers and tax payers. I hope they're are charged.

gandalf

From reading an article in todays Sunday Times I see the bleeding knuckle heroes are now threatening bank and receiver employees at home now. What a pack of low life thugs. Heroes of the republic my ass just a pack of thugs horny to get their violence fix.

From the same report they said that 3 KBC branches have now been attacked. The headquarters, Dundrum and Swords. So some scumbag doesn't bother to pay his debts and these cvnts think they have free reign to endanger people lives and livelihoods.

I present the deluded and violent drooling class!

You admit being aware it's only a rumour, and you think it's probably bs, and you're aware it's creating tension even it's it's true or not, AND THEN YOU PUT IT UP ON THE INTERNET ANYWAY!

You can say that again with knobs on!

A perfunctory Google search reveals a website belonging to a Strokestown person of that name who positions his business as a "boutique web design, public relations and reputation management firm".

There is also a Facebook page belonging to The Democrat newspaper run by Mr Corcoran and his "business partner" described as a "practising solicitor" called Phelim O'Neill. Whoever puts that page together is no great shakes as a Web designer. Several videos of interviews show a distinct lack of editing skills and on more than one occasion, they can't even align the windows the right way up! You have to tilt your head at right angles to watch. I suspect the professional web-design consultancies of the capital are not quaking in their shoes in anticipation of losing much business

Incidentally, I wonder is his "partner" the same Phelim O'Neill from Strokestown who is acting as a solicitor for the McGann family whose repossessed farmhouse is at the centre of the recent disturbances. I think we should be told.

We are unlikely to be told by the other "Citizen Journalist" whose breathtaking reports from the front lines appear to be getting such a following on social media, the self-styled "Irish mammy" Anna Kavanagh.

As well as being head-bangingly inarticulate (ever few words are punctuated with "em em") she doesn't seem to have much clue about police procedures or the legal process. She doesn't seem to know the difference between being arrested and "helping Gardai with their enquiries" , for instance. Many people don't, to be fair, but one would expect somebody reporting on the investigation of alleged crimes at least to have a clue.

This whole affair reeks of fake outrage and pathetic attempts at media manipulation. Fake news par excellence!

This is these clowns getting their 15 minutes of fame and when will Strokestowns get it again and will be remembered as clowns.

Lefty Bicek

Some of you are laughably self-important.

I asked 'who did it' since the poster I asked the question of said...

I really dispair that this sort of nonsense is emerging. I'd seriously like to see these idiots...

Sounds like a movement, or a nascent trend at very least. If not, fine, no harm done.


It seems that the question can't even be posed unless the action has been condemned first. On the degenerate assumption that if you don't say you're against it, you must be for it.

And if you ask who did it, it must be because you disagree with the person you're asking. Pompous lunacy, parading as debate.


Making inane stupid remarks about spontaneous combustion trivialises a serious act of criminality, and a risk to jobs and life.


You'd want to look at yourselves.

FFS Lefty Bicek you are aware this is After Hours so flippant remarks and attempts at humour are expected.

Let’s be honest none of the perpetrators have a mortgage.

They are probably living in a council house and don’t have to worry about mortgages or rent.

Or they are in arrears like McGann with no intention of paying back. Probably see this whole "movement" as an opportunity to get out of their commitments.

It is the words of Mary Lou and her comrades which fosters the attitude that leads to the arson attacks on KBC bank branches and the violence of last Sunday.

Hopefully people are beginning to see through the thin veil thrown over those chancers. Unfortunately, it probably won't last.
