oh certainly. the same people though would be outraged if it was someone in a council house though. couldn't make it up. its pure and simple begrudgery if i'm honest

Yeah right, O Donnell was a property speculator who got too greedy, comparing him to ordinary people is ridiculous, somehow I doubt he will be stuck for a place to live.

Those 2 fools from the New Land League are just making themselves look more stupid everytime they talk to the media.

Davitt must be doing cartwheels in his coffin the way they highjacked the name of the organisation he set up.

The whole thing is farcical and they should be evicted. But of course they're going to string it out, they've got no shame and are probably only doing it to increase the legal fees the bank has to pay to fight them in court. The legal fees must be in the millions at this point. Not that it matters to the O'Donnells, I doubt they'll be paying their own fees when they lose. I bet they've millions tucked away in offshore accounts and in their kids names.

so what if he got a bit greedy. many people did. they at the time had the money and were deluded that the boom would last forever. its not illegal. the banks were willing to give out the money, they should have known better and been more careful, seeing as they are the ones who lent the money, and seeing as their actions can bring down economies. comparing him to ordinary people isn't ridiculous as some of them got a bit greedy themselves.

Does the Land League goon refer to VB as 'Philcent' @ 2:00?

It's not just upper class, Irish people in general have a huge sense of entitlement, in my opinion.

800 odd million in loans Hardly joe soap.

The irony in this whole thing is hilarious really. O'Donnell was a legal adviser for NAMA at one stage, when NAMA were seizing ownership of a load of homes that people had been evicted from. And he has the cheek to call on the 'Land League' to come and save them from the evil banks! The same Land League which is supposed to be 100% opposed to the notion of a Landlord class, which O'Donnell himself is part of =/

Absolute cretin of a man. I wonder if he'd be so quick to go out and help blockade the home of a family in Raheny who were facing eviction? He would in his hole would be my guess.

You try as average Joe to stay in your house once the bank forecloses. bank calls, you say I'm not leaving. Gards called you dragged out. not what's happening in this case as the guy has access to legal proceeding normal people don't have the money for.

And on a side point they tried to say the House in the UK was the Family home recently.

I wondered if the O'Donnells were entitled to Legal Aid, it wouldn't surprise me either way.

This Thread has a cooler title!

If it was some poor sod with a wife and kids being repo'd out of his 3 bedroom semi in Longford or Mullingar there'd be no sign of those "Land League" goons or VB either for that matter.

I've never seen Beades or Tom Darcy or the rest of the head honchos make anything more than a perfunctory 5 minute appearance at the eviction of Mr&Mrs Terraced House - a few malleable goons usually do their donkey work.
Beades does seem to manage to get himself to the forefront when its a 'big one' in Castleknock or Killiney, with an amount in keeping with his own 7 figure debt.

Genuinely surprised that someone like yourself who I consider of leftwing/socialist/communist bent is hitching their sails to this particular boat - the SWP (Boyd-Barretts core group) have even cautioned their people to avoid 'poisonous' Jerry Beades in their newsletters.

yipeeeee

These are part of the elite group who for years before the crash and during it, hid their bogus dealings so they wouldn't have to pay it back, now they have been caught, tough.

You willing to stand by that statement. Will you just claim any figures released are lies by the government or banks if they don't fall in to the category of "pittance"?

What's your definition of pittance , just so we know?

Indeed, him and his wife need to get out of the banks house asap.

While I sympathise with their situation (it must be awful for any family to loose their home to repossession), one must take some personal responsibility for the situation they find themselves in.

Yes we know the bank over lent but that does not make the borrower blameless.

The highest court in this land has ruled in favour of the bank, this case has gone "all the way" bar going to the European courts* which it seems they are now set to do.

What's the bets that if the Europe court rules in favour of the bank, the O'Donnells will continue to put up a fight?

You can't continue to stamp your feet when all* legal avenues have been exhausted and expect a U-turn
