    John Walters was a guest just before Christmas. Eamon Dunphy was a guest 3 weeks ago. Eoghan Harris was a guest earlier in the year.

    Do RTE think we want to hear the same people again and again?

    I thought it was going to be the John Waters of Hairspray fame. I actually got excited about the prospect of Pat being insulted and not knowing it. :(

    Anyone who took a morgage they couldnt afford on a house that was way over priced should be told whistle, given a cup, a blanket and the phone number for focus Ireland

    as the people who didnt take a morgage they couldnt afford on a house that was way over priced are now expected to bail them out while still paying their own morgage/RENT

    Yup!!!:D
    But not as harsh as:
    "as the people who didnt take a morgage they couldnt afford on a house that was way over priced are now expected to bail them out while still paying their own morgage/RENT"

    is it?

    No - those who took these mortgages out are the people who are the cream of our society with most to offer. These are the people - the stakeholders of society - we don't want to lose to emigration.

    This is why such a measure is welcome and let the banks suffer the consequences - Cowen would be the man if can do something like this.

    BTW the issue is not that the mortgages are too high - it's that these people have lost their jobs - shame we don't all have your begruding attitude!

    In fairness to RTE, they were expecting to have children's friend Cathal O'Searcaigh on the show but he pulled out at the last minute after RTE solicitors asked to have the interview pre-recorded. So I think that particular gathering was a last minute thing.

    And also, these are the guys who advocated certain things before the election, only fair that they should come back and justify their choices.

    No actually its taking a 100% morgage on a property that is at least 50% over priced that is the problem and them someone who refused to take out such a morgage on such a property paying their own and others way

    So they (the smart ones) leave the country rather than pay others morgages
    ie me!

    How are the banks gonna suffer?

    What am i begruding? Paying for the mistakes of others
    wow your right, i must be so petty!

    "who are the cream of our society with most to offer"

    Well im leaving the country and have a load of qualifications, so i guess you mean me:o:D, except i never took out a morgage i knew i would not be able to afford when the property bubble popped:eek:
    & i never went round the pubs bragging about the value of my house and slagging off those who rented about rent being wasted money:o:mad:

    Well if a 100% morgage on an overvalued property isnt wasted money i dont know what is!?

    *In the long term the big problem IS going to be, AFTER all this is cleared up
    that the idiots with the 100% morgages will still have there houses and those
    without, will still have no house and WILL have payed for the idiots to keep theres.
    WHEN those people figure out what they are going to be paying for for the next 5 years AND that they will have nothing to show for it at the end of the day
    THEY WILL ALL LEAVE
    & who's gonna pay for you to keep your house then? :eek:
    and that WILL be the real drain
    not:

    this was partly cos cathal o searcaigh didn't go on again, does anyone want to see him on, i don't think he should go on, its a lose-lose situation, he dealt with by police(not they'll be able to put a case togehter)

    While I cant speak for the country as a whole, and there are people now in financial strife who clearly do not deserve to be,I do know of 3 people in an office I work in who took out crippling mortgages on properties during the end of the good times.

    These three, as an example, arent the cream of anything, unless annoying think-they-know-it-all muppet now outranks "upper" on the class scale.

    Frankly, they're gobshítes, they wouldn't be told that their salaries werent long term guaranteed, and therefore perhaps 100% mortgages on 1st or more importantly 2nd properties werent a brilliant idea for them, now 1 is redundant and two are in reduced salary nervous breakdown territory.

    Stakeholders of society my arse. Greedyboys more like. They can emigrate if they like as far as Im concerned. I don't really care whether they stay or not, but I think we can lose eejits like these with no discernible long term damage to the country.

    in fairness to use, it alteast the second time we had filler because o searcaigh didn't come on, and pat kenny didn't nail them down on the previous statementss
