    I see everyone has lost their sense of humour in AH's.

    @johnr1 why are you so concerned about me opening a link, I said I didn't open it. Post count might mean something to you but not to me.

    Perhaps he's been sentenced to hard labour, cracking rocks in a chain-gang, and the court-case has been kept out of the media.

    Nah, I think he's a knob and what he's doing is just yet another example of the absurd ****e that people get away with in this country.

    We're pretty much a laughing stock at this stage so I say why not play up to it? We're headed right down the ****ter anyway so why not go out in style.

    I hope he builds lots and lots of stupid, expensive pointless crap all over the place because we ****ing deserve it for letting it happen.

    He already has, they're called ghost estates and empty apartment blocks. Perhaps he's hoping that those can be designated as 'modern art installations' and then he can get himself a grant from the Arts Counsel....:rolleyes:

    I'm not one bit concerned whether you opened the link or not, I was more interested in the fact that you felt the need to take a shot at another part of the country even though you couldn't be bothered to look at the photo and had expressed no interest in the story. Again: Why post then??

    Postcount clearly means a lot to me; yeah- I'm not the one with 20k posts in a year and a half, :rolleyes:

    it would be more in his line to fill in the huge hole in the ground he has left in keel village first.

    it's a shame he wouldn't start paying off his debts rather than taking every opportunity to show off like a spoiled child. That many people hold him up as some sort of hero shows just how backwards so many people in this country are.

    Property developer Joe McNamara has been jailed until next Tuesday by a High Court judge for contempt of an order requiring him to immediately cease building a ‘Stonehenge-like structure’ which he intends as a “place of reflection” on Achill Island.
    Mr McNamara, acquitted earlier this year of criminal damage and dangerous driving over an incident where a cement lorry with the words “toxic bank” was driven at the gates of Leinster House, was asked by Mayo County Council’s planning officers last week to stop the unauthorised works but continued with them.

    The council then brought proceedings against Mr McNamara (41), with addresses at Achill Island, Co Mayo and Salthill, Co Galway, and secured orders on November 26th last requiring him to cease the works.

    It claimed works continued after he was served with those orders and it then initiated proceedings for attachment and committal of Mr McNamara.

    After hearing from the sides yesterday, Mr Justice Roderick Murphy found Mr McNamara had continued work on the structure, an outer ring of large columns with tapping stones placed on top, despite being properly served with the order to cease those works.

    The failure to comply was “a serious matter”, planning laws and regulations were in place for a good reason and were not designed to thwart people, the judge said.

    As Mr McNamara was not prepared to purge his contempt, he was to remain in Mountjoy prison until next Tuesday, the judge said.
