    all that money wasted on legal eagles

    Not for DOB.

    It's a way to intimidate anyone else thinking of standing up to him.

    The threat of the cost of legal action against you.

    The system works.

    For our oligarch.

    He never expected to win that. Its purely for the chilling effect it will have on the next people to dare to stand up to that bloated windbag.

    Kindly redact the word bloated ... idle speculation about Dennis's gastrointestinal circumstances

    Denis O'Brien's lawyers have had a busy day sending letters to various media outlets (including the Broadsheet, who have bravely refused to cave) regarding his interactions with IBRC (Irish Bank Resolution Corporation).

    Funny thing... the Oireachtas debates enjoy a privileged position in Irish society in that they are protected speech and TD's cant be sued for what they say on the floor. Neat huh!

    That extends to the records kept of those debates.

    Some of those records are even kept online.


    Page 27, paragraph 3 is fascinating.

    She's been at it again.


    NEW ALLEGATIONS ABOUT Denis O’Brien’s finances have been made in the D by Social Democrats TD Catherine Murphy.

    Speaking under D privilege this afternoon, Murphy claimed that O’Brien offered to guarantee a €5 million loan to property developer Paddy McKillen in 2012.

    Murphy said that the loan was subsequently granted and occurred at a time when the men already had “huge” and “significant” debts to the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation.

    “Essentially, a man with huge debts to IBRC was granted a loan from the IBRC on the guarantee of another man who owed significant sums to IBRC while there were questions over both men’s financial ability to fulfil original loan agreements with IBRC,” Murphy said.

    Siteserv under the spotlight once again too.
    It is interesting to note that the AIB group chief credit officer at the time the loan was advanced went on after leaving AIB to join the boards of Siteserv, Topaz and the Beacon Hospital, all owned by Mr. Denis O’Brien. Why was that? My point has always been that while there may be perfectly legitimate answers to these questions, they stand out as very obvious questions to ask.
