    whadythink?

    Forgive and move on? Too much time 'n money wasted chasing these slippery fish?

    Or, pursue them 'til they answer for any crimes they might have committed?

    I think we should have a tribunal which costs half a billion euro and lasts ten years and ends with an verdict that we were all already aware of before it even started.

    That's what I think.

    I'm happy to forget 'em once they're rotting in prison and every cent they have has been confiscated by the criminal assets bureau and put towards paying off our IMF loans.

    LOL.

    Nah. If I wanted to hide under bridges, I'd pick one covered in ivy.


    It occurred to me that I havent seen a poll on this, and I'm interested in gauging the feeling out there.

    Perhaps, those tired pursuers within our state mechanisms (fraud squad etc) will take heart from the poll results?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,168 ✭✭✭franktheplank


    Vigilante death squads, it's the only reasonable solution.

    They ought to be arrested and summarily merrily shot. ho ho bloody ho! :mad:

    I think far too much blame is laid at these guys door and it suits certain sectors that this is so.
    We elect politicians and have regulators to protect our interests. These failed miserably.
    If it hadn't been these guys it would have been others. They were the equivalent of the dot-com billionaires, building castles on foundations of sand.

    The way I see it we have an offences against the state act which gives the gubberment fairly sweeping powers that are meant to protect the nation from attempts to subvert or overthrow it's sovereignty. Every time some gob****e sticks a balaclava on and decides that he's the sole true inheritor of the first dail he gets banged up for a long time under that legislation.

    These c**ts have actually destroyed our sovereignty so why isn't that legislation being amended to allow us to lock them up for a very long time down in port laoise? F**k it were their actions not enough to warrant internment at this stage?

    Not sure there was anything illegal in running a business badly.

    Were that the case, 50% of mom&pop shops nationwide would be shut down...

    They should only be made answer for crimes they have committed, and not those they might have committed.

    There is a high suspicion that they engaged in criminal activity so they should face prosecution. They are nothing like dot-com billionaires.

    As for the second option "pursue them to the bitter end", what sort of stupidity is that? :rolleyes: There is nothing "bitter" about pursuing suspected criminals through the courts. :rolleyes:

    Sheesh. It's a phrase. As in, 'no matter how long it takes, no matter what hills we must climb, no matter how many....etc'.:rolleyes: ;)

    Wonder what's a reasonable sample? 1000 votes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,797 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    There are 6 votes for "A". Would it be unreasonable to assume that those 6 votes belong to each of the three individuals named, and their respective other halves?

    The same is true of your local heroin dealer, but that doesn't excuse it.
