    This is a great result, it sends out a strong clear message that only the underclasses need fear justice in Ireland, don't forget to pay your water charges.

    He was found innocent in a court of law. He is a free man. Another notch on that post that makes me cringe. It is extremely difficult to get convictions when it comes to this type of activity.

    Do we have a figure yet for how expensive an excercise in legal futility that this was? I'm guessing the legal fees run into the millions. I wonder if he'll sue the state now for defamation of character or some such nonsense, so that we'll end up paying him?

    Much as I would have liked him to go down two things became apparent assuming the evidence was factual.


    1. Drumm seemed to be the real villan
    2. The regulator had his hands dirty too and it's fairly unfair to hang Fitz if he had approval from the state body.

    That said I'm surprised there weren't more robust charges

    I only hope now enda will ask Obama to get the Americans to expel Drumm and extradite him here for flogging

    Loaned money to people on the proviso that they use it to invest in Anglo shares.

    Can't change the laws and retrospectively apply them only offences after a law is passed can be convicted.

    Ok so I assume he technically didn't do anything wrong then. Or at least it couldn't be proven he did?

    I didn't know that thank you for clearing that up .
    It's still rotten that he can walk away along with his cronies while a country pays for his mess .

    Whatever about the Maple 10, it was the annual hiding of his massive corporate loans to himself which should have been illegal. Evidently it wasn't so he can't be prosecuted for it, but do you see any sign of the government changing the law so it can't happen again?

    *crickets*
