county sheriff

Anyone know what do they do. Someone I know has been told that their solicitor is getting them involved in their court case.

I shot him, but I did not shoot the deputy.

Sheriffs enforce judgements generally, like repossessing things and evictions, that kind of stuff.

If he is anything like the one in Banshee prepare for an ass kicking.

Hope its nothing like the revenue sheriff, awful people to have to deal with, they realy don't care about anything other than collecting money.

Asking people on the street about something to prove what exactly?

People who make those sort of videos would be better off spending their time doing something constructive..... like waxing their assholes or learning to speak Klingon, y'know, something that has a real effect on the world.

It's kinda what they're supposed to do though. If people are struggling to pay their outgoings, they should be proactive and seek assistance (MABS, organising a realistic payment plan with service providers) instead of hoping it'll go away until it's too late.
I'm not saying repossession is a wonderful thing or anything, but it's unfair IMO to speak of them as these heartless Ebeneezers who get pleasure out of it. It is the very, very last resort, and those who end up at their mercy... well the media/populist opinion would have you believe that they always try so hard to pay what they owe and do the best they can, even if they can't pay in full for a long time (and nothing wrong with that - any of us could end up in financial trouble, the key is to let your creditors know) but the reality is that if they did... it's unlikely they would find themselves dealing with the sheriff.

Ah come on, he is doing something useful. He's highlighting the fact that people don't realise the dangers there are out there. Most people think that the days of a sheriff coming round to your house with the gards and fecking your clothes out onto the street are gone since the famine - NOT SO! The govt still has sinister powers that can be used against you. People not paying their mortgage and saying "fcuk the banks" etc. think that they cant be thrown out of their house now, that this is a civilised country with first-world human rights and all that. Fair enough, its not as bad as some other places, but make no mistake, there still is people like the sheriff employed by the govt, who will unmercifully impose the law on you and your property if you do not toe their line.

Do people actually think that? If so, it's their look out.

I'm fully aware of the dangers of not paying back loans.

Does he dip into Freeman of Ireland nonsense at any point? I couldn't be bothered watching the whole video but had a suspicion that there'd be some Freemany stuff before the end.

Of course they think it! You need to broaden your media horizons a bit wider than Boards!

Fair play to you. But not everybody is. And its not just paying back loans, AFAIK the sheriff can enforce any judgement passed by a court, eg. put a stay on your will that x amount be taken out of it when you die.

Dunno. Didn't watch it all. FTR I hate scroungers as much as the next man, but its the way there's a divide between those who are in the know about these things, and those who aren't. That's the scary part. Its always the people who aren't aware of the laws and powers that are out there, and how helpless we are against them when things go pearshaped, who suffer the most.

If you read the article that I linked to you would have seen that Mabs would have been no good to him because it was business debt that the man was in trouble with, the sheriff didn't give him a realistic figure to pay up on the day he took his own life, they had known for a long time that he had hit hard times and that he was making as much effort to pay as he could. Making an effort didn't matter to revenue and they sent the sheriff who demanded €10,000 within 3 hours and a total of €61,00 within 2 weeks. Having had dealings with the sheriff myself I would agree with how the judge called it state terrorism.

Sheriffs enforce judgments in counties Cork and Dublin while County Registrars enforce them in all other places.

My media horizons extend far beyond boards.

My media horizons tend to ignore sh*te videos filmed in Temple Bar though. :pac:
