Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

For those of ye riled up about Kevin Blackhearse spending yer license fee on gifted me or any other cawlurs… to put de record straight I attached another label to a pressie I got not from RTE or Generous Joe

My father’s sister, a single lady and grade 5 civil servant with permanent pensionable job, was living with her mother in Mespil apartments. A lot of civil servants lived there, a lot still do I believe. At one stage she went about trying to get a mortgage for a bungalow there not far from Joe in Sutton. She could have technically afforded the mortgage, had all that worked out, good with finances and left a decent enough amount to her sister in her will. However, at the time of her application, single women could not get a mortgage even when they could afford the repayments. That was Ireland back in the day. It’s a shame she didn’t get her dream bungalow and had to pay rent forever and was threatened with eviction upon the scandalous sale of Mespils to ye know who without offering to tenants to purchase. She refused to move out, they tried scare tactics, banging her door at night, she was only one in building, but we are a fierce stubborn family.
