    After seeing this guy run and hide from his responsibilities I thought it would be nice if we all sent him a postcard of how we feel he ruined our country

    From the business post a couple of years ago

    "Anointed as the chosen one, Drumm has many similarities to FitzPatrick, who coincidentally was also 38 when he took over as chief executive two decades ago. Both are lenders, with strong abilities to assess the people they are lending to and to develop long-term commercial relationships with them. These people skills are critical in an organisation that stands out from the crowd through its emphasis on customer relationships.

    Drumm's progress through the ranks at Anglo Irish has been as the arch disciple of the “relationship management'‘ culture with customers. According to FitzPatrick, Drumm is “soaked in the ethos of the bank'‘. Some describe Drumm as “a chip off the old block'‘ in reference to FitzPatrick. "

    Laughable

    He owes us €8,000,000 and buys a house for $4,200,000 ? There has to be a way to get at least that much back.

    My postcard:

    Wish you were here

    Father Ted.

    But it sounds like something Bertie Ahern might have said in the tribunal.

    Yeah it's solely his fault we're in this mess.. absolutely nothing to do with the people that happilly took out loans / mortgages that they couldn't afford to pay back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,653 ✭✭✭✭amdublin

    Well I think him and all the other directors and Chief Exec of Anglo happily fall into that category (amongst others, as I said in my post)

    Yeah it's solely his fault we're in this mess.. absolutely nothing to do with the people that happilly took out loans / mortgages that they couldn't afford to pay back

    If him and other greedy twats like him hadnt been doling out those mortgages in the first place there wouldnt have been a problem. And if the regulator had been, ya know, regulating it would have helped too. And if fianna fail hadnt been.................. ah, ya know how it goes!

    I don't think anyone was suggesting he was. But he was the CEO of the company that has posted the worst loss in Irish corporate history, the cost to the Irish taxpayer could run to 22 billion euro.

    It is not people defaulting on their mortgages that has us in this mess. It is a relatively small number of developers who took out massive development loans which they now can't pay back. They built houses that were not needed - 217,101 units between 2006-09, with a projected demand at the time of only 85,446. Bought up argicultural land for many multiples of what it is now worth. David Drumm was one of a number of people who facilitated and encouraged this madness, for which the taxpayer is going to be paying for indefinitely.

    Exactly.. there's far more people to blame than just one or two who are being made the scapegoats. It's funny how the arrests of Fitzpatrick & McAteer came just a week before Anglo announced it's losses. Why aren't the regulators and those that appointed them being questioned?

    Exactly. And nobody in Irish society is as much to blame as is Bertie Ahern. It galls me that he's got away scot-free and is on a very nice few pensions while his mess is being tidied up.

    So now its Bertie's fault now? Next someone will be saying it was Lord Lucan's. :D

    But erra sure isn't the Bert a great laugh and fella below in Fagans with the locals, how could you not loike him..


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    I've a sneaking suspicion that since Mr Bird turned up at his door, he is no longer there most of the time now.
    Lord knows, one of his still friends here in Ireland will have sent him a copy of the TV broadcast to where ever he's hiding now.

    I hope I can get some people from Boards to come along too?

    The regulator should be questioned, and questioned like any other bank robber, but what gets me is the default on payment of loans that Drumm (€7 million) and Fitzpatrick (€70 million) owe the bank , and then get pensions of half a million a year , and sun themselves in Spain and Cape Cod , while we pick up the pieces . If you are an average Joe and default on a payment do you realise how much the bank harass to get it back -

    Michael Fingleton (Irish Nationwide) has a pension pot of 70 million , for driving his company into the wall ,on top of a bonus of 1 million for doing just this - I assume the State (we) will pay all this - one word - ****

    Count me in. Not for tomatoes or anything else that might get him a sympathy vote but for a mass dignified protest. The writing is on the wall for the Ahern dynasty even in his own constituency where his brother, Maurice Ahern, couldn't even win a councillor's seat and was beaten by Mary Fitzpatrick, a woman who was fuc ked-over royally by the Ahern dynasty in the 2007 general election and is now reaping the benefits.

    She's about the only Fianna Fáiler in Ireland who'll get a sympathy vote in the next general election.

    Lads and ladies... I appreciate you are all angry, believe me, I didnt buy a house in the crazy times because I was being restrained and rational... and now I have to pay for OTHER peoples houses?!

    But publishing someone's home address in order to harass them is a big no no. Its also very reckless, God knows what unhinged crazy is out there reading people here suggesting sending bullets and physical violence.

    Sorry, but I'm not comfortable to accept the consequences of providing a platform for that. You'll notice the journalists you linked to, none of them publish his actual address as far as I can see. Even if they did, its not something we should be supporting here. You want to go all "pitchforks and torches".... block the dail.

    to be fair the camera points to the number of the house, and the reporter said the name of the road. Deliberate or subconsious on RTE's part?

    Better still , why not send a postcard to all his neighbours telling them truthfully what kind of neighbour they have and to avoid taking any financial advice from him.
