    It wasn't a regged company until two weeks after the closing date for the bids.

    It must be late.

    Their overtime hours were cut. Where did you imagine IBRC got the money to finance DOB's extravagance in the first place? ;)

    Is it to late to request an extradition so we can have him put on trial. Oh wait no that's only work if you piss off america (aka like FIFA). He should be arrested.

    Where is the same level of outrage at social welfare fraud?...which is also the thieving of taxpayers money. Double standards propped up by begrudgery.

    Social welfare fraud is horrible, but this is a case where one man unfairly kept millions which should have gone to the govt.; one social welfare dodger is not equitable to this.

    Does not matter how many abuse welfare. It is theft of our money. Rich or poor should get equal justice and punishment.

    That's the silliest post I've ever read. There are countless threads about the dole, almost daily, up to and including social welfare fraud.

    This thread is about Denis O'Brien btw tbh.

    It is time for the people to just stay in bed on Monday morning and Fúch the government and their master O'Brien.

    No more will we have the jumbo Cowan topaz breakfast roll and bottle of Irish Water in the morning on the way to work as the general strike starts Monday.




























    Oh ****e lads, The general strike organised for Monday has been postponed due to the bank Holiday.

    Theft is theft. It is absolutely the same.

    You come across like that silly jesuit in Dublin who thinks it's perfectly fine for little howiyeahs to thieve and rob because, god love them, they have not got their lot in life. Denis O'Brien is only being targeted really because he is a billionaire.

    Well...It's about censorship really ;)

    Amazing how 1 man can have so much power isn't it?

    Jayzes, he wasn't even elected!!!

    Assault is assault. However there's a difference between punching someone in the nose because you find him in bed with your girlfriend, and beating thousands of passers-by to a bloody pulp for no reason other than your own amusement.

    I think we are being led into making comments that could lead to liability don't bite.

    I think you'll find that there are degrees to crimes, with various factors in even the most serious of crimes. To equate one social welfare scammer to a man who has cost the state hundreds of millions, is foolish imo.

    And I don't begrudge the man for his wealth. He is a smart businessman, and if I knew that doing a couple of sh*tty things would make me a multi-billionaire, I'd do them too. But he has cheated his way out paying millions in this scenario, and for that he should be criticised.
