    Another receiver has had to take proceedings against Ben Gilroy and others. He's due in the High Court tomorrow. In one set of proceedings, it appears he's been "advising" a tanning salon.

    2016/948 and 2016/949 are the record numbers, both listed for tomorrow.

    Turns out there was a motion to eject Ben Gilroy from his house yesterday in Trim. No word from himself on the matter as he's entirely focused on electoral stunts at the moment though. (Record Number 2014/EJ153).

    Co-incidentally the "legal hand grenade" that the Hub had concocted of entirely incorrect European Law was also "detonated" yesterday in Trim. Apparently it gained that most Hubbish of victories, an adjournment. On the adjourned date, the motion to have the mortgage "cancelled" because of the Hubs magic bull**** will also be heard.

    Claiming that the election van he has was 'confiscated' by him from Irish Water and that he found a load of water meters in it when he came to use it. An unlikely story even by his standards but the crowd love it.

    Interesting to see him discussing why he wasn't invited to the rte leaders debate last night - he seems to have forgotten that the biggest reason would be is that he supposedly isn't leader anymore. He resigned, Jan Van de Vanman had it for a while, quietly disappeared and then Pat Greene got the gig. But Ben seems to see himself as the leader but hey thats democracy ben-style for you.

    I'll cut to the chase here; did he acquire this van through less than conventional means?

    The van in that photo is way too old to be an Irish water van.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,703 ✭✭✭whippet


    I'd say he got the van from one of his mates who was going around removing water meters (fairies I think they called them)

    Remember LLI, the hub, anti eviction Ireland, the land league, people for economic justice, DDI, Darcy and a load of water meter protest groups are all just one big group of dole jockies who knock around together to give themselves some sort of justification not to be working or paying their own bills

    Has Joe parted ways with 'the project' over the photogate scandal?

    It seems like he will have to fight this battle without his I-I badge and membership card.

    I'm not too interested in them either, but did have a bit of a snigger at how just like all these mad parties and gangs they self implode - usually due to a couple of individuals who show their true colours and go on solo runs to suit their own ambitions

    Dr Integrity filed his papers to stand for election, to do so he had to meet with the register (Finbar?) that he has been at war with.
    Rather than doing it quietly he organised/allowed a big posed photo where they both smiled beamingly.

    Some of his supporters got antsy with this, lots of stuff thrown around on facebook sadly all deleted now. His longtime hombre Garie Beattie in particular had a right pop at him and Joe Doocey appeared to take the latters side - they also seemed to have Paul Collins (who Manning had a 57 page diatribe about last year, + multiple court libel cases against) trying to join in with them.

    Check again. Manning did not and has not any cases against Paul Collins. Apparently he is afraid of what might come out in court.
    Also, rumour has it that Doocey, Beattie and others are now trying to force out manning and take over I.I.

    I saw word on FB today that an anti water protestors who last year was arrested in Swords for kneeing a garda in the groin, Anna Harvey, was found guilty in her absence at Swords district court.

    At the hearing, solicitor Fiona D'Arcy for the accused stated to Justice Dempsey that the accused wasn't present as she "does not recognise this court" :)


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 10,571 Mod ✭✭✭✭Robbo


    Remember the PSNI officer who tried to arrest the judge that granted a possession order against him? 3 months in chokey.

    Not 100% but I think he may have been taking counsel from one of out favourite pseudo-lawyers now or in the past.

    must be the same Anna Harvey who wrote this article for the freeman / DDI propaganda fairsociety.ie 'news' site

    Can't wait for the Garda/Private Security/UK -British Army/UK Police to serve her with her bench warrant, which she doubtlessly won't recognise either. Expect much buffoonery from this episode in coming weeks :)

    just proves the guy is a total wacko.

    I know people who got that through the door and who are very anti government at the moment and are disgusted by it. Gilroy tried to appeal to the lowest of the low. The type of degenerate who never votes, couldn't give a sh1te once the social keeps putting beer vouchers in their ass pocket. This demographic never usually votes so Gilroy rather than trying to win votes from actual politicians just wants to corner the market of fools.

    He wasn't very impressive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,508 ✭✭✭✭ArmaniJeanss


    He wasn't very impressive.

    Really tough to stand out amongst so many but from what I saw he was fine - he was calm, articulate, had a decent educated vocabulary, concise with his points, looked and dressed fine.

    That's possibly what makes him so insidious, superficially he's a reasonable guy who talks a degree of sense, and its only when you delve a bit deeper that you see the truth. Whereas with most of the freemen and suchlike its obvious after about 5 seconds what they are.

    That's the nature of a ~13 way debate with audience participation, a presenter who loves his own voice, and lots of ads, Manning was one of many who didn't get much air time despite the 2 hour running time (I think it was 70 mins in before I heard the Asian guy speak).

    A positive for me was Manning agreed with the idea of a referendum for repeal of the 8th, if I was a Mayo voter that would at least get him a preference from me ahead of the many undemocratic misogynists on the panel who opposed even the holding of such a referendum.

    Also fascinating how many people here seemed to have signed up just to comment on Manning issues by the way.

    Rare you get to see behind the curtain at the paperwork that Freemen are producing but the Hub recently did a large textdump of their boilerplate pseudo-legal affidavits. As ever, "their word is not gospel", which is a rather kind way of describing it. Repeatedly discredited woo would be more accurate.

    There's a lot in there to dismantle it line by line but I'm surprised they haven't included averments along the lines of "The plaintiff issued these proceedings on so-called paper but failed to demonstrate that it came from a tree". All of their technical arguments on the swearing of affidavits (time, place, residence of deponent) have all been unsuccessfully raised before, by Gilroy and others.

    They're also complaining that they need more of a marketing budget because Facebook are asking for a higher rate to promote their claptrap.

    My favourite moment of the election so far. Gerry O'Boyle is an anti eviction campaigner running in Mayo. Tesco Castlebar offers free parking for customers for 1.5 hours. Boyler posted on facebook that he was not allowed park in Tesco's carpark for his canvass as the car park manager is a Fine Gael supporter!! The dogs on the street know that you may get fined for parking over 1.5 hours. Even better, there's a county council car park next door to Tesco.....but then I suppose the parking isn't free there :D

    Right2Homes have declared that they will (for a fee of course) build modular homes for local authorities. Lest we forget, the organisation was set up as a way of crowdfunding the legal bills of Tom "Grecian 2000" D'arcy so that he can stay in his swanky Kinsealy/Malahide mansion and shirk some of his €18 million in debt.

    Of course the organisation is a "not-for-profit" and the proposal will be done on such a basis. They might want to inform the Revenue Commissioners as they don't appear to have any record of them being a registered charity. The same is true of the Charities Regulator.

    Right2Homes was incorporate as a company limited by guarantee on 9/11/2015 and it's directors are Brian Reilly, Tom D'arcy and Austin Byrne.

    2 Court Reports: One from the Irish Independent and one from the Hub.

    Not saying they're the same person but the facts seem to tally in both (along with Facebook interactions). The Hub "wont say what the final outcome was" of course.

    So despite what the Hub are selling, the "rateable valuation" line isn't a magic bullet against repossessions. Also shown to be a futile argument: pretending that all bank affidavits are void because the address given was the person's office rather than where they lay their head.

    that was debunked a good while back .. the judge at the time clarified that it means the place where you would most likely be able to find the person or something like that.

    Unfortunately the Hub and the rest of these advisors keep peddling this crap and causing undue stress and false hope to vulnerable people.

    So in effect they have lost this case but will still bang on about how they are unbeating in the courts? in otherwords they can't admit defeat

    Would be an interesting exercise to get a list of all Freemen cranks running today and tally up their votes tomorrow evening.

    From a cursory check. Mostly DDI at the minute, but I'll try trawl through some of the independents after work:


    Bradley, Neville
    Connor, Anthony
    Gilroy, Ben
    Greene, Pat
    Healy, Stephanie
    Healy, Christopher
    Hutchinson, Katrina
    Keogh, Mark
    Lawes, Alan
    Lloyd, David
    Manning, Stephen
    McDermott, Michael
    McKay, Cormac
    Melia, Angus
    O'Boyle, Gerry
    O'Connell, Aoife
    O'Neill, Ruairi
    Quilty, Edward
    Sinclair, Stephen
    Smollen, Ken
    Whitehead, Raymond

    According to his facebook:

    "Gerry O Boyle was discriminated at the polling stations in ballyhaunis today when i went in to vote for myself as a large crowd of supporters gathered to see me cast my vote the presiding officer stoped a supporter taking a photograph of my dropping my vote in to the ballot box the presiding officer said these was new rules (but later i learned in the day the presiding officer is a rank fine geal supporter and i was allowed to take a photograph this corruption got to stop"

    Also Tom Darcy is in court again on the 3rd March I believe
