What was that about in strokestown?

Anyone know the background to the farm eviction in Strokestown?

Elderly brothers and sister evicted from their home by force on Tuesday.
House occupied by Loyalist heavies on behalf of KBC up until lastnight, when their vans were burned out by locals.

Whatever about taking the land if its not been paid for, surely this is woeful stupidity by KBC to employ UVF thugs to evict them from their home - given the inevitable reaction!

Local shop sells drums of kerosene. Does a great trade in them. Often wondered what system the people who use them have for putting them in the tank, or Could you just feed the boiler direct from the drum like the detergent on the milk tank?

Wonder how these hardy boys transported the fuel and pumped it. Strokestown living up to it's name, apparently they were fairly rough with the people when evicting them, an ex member of AGS and friend who was visiting the property at the time got a walloping.

House recently repossessed. TD raised issue about an eviction. Security were on site overnight when a large crowd came with baseball bats and attacked them, setting fire to vehicles and killing a few dogs.


Anyone know the backstory?


Or know what was the story with a recent repossession in Roscommon?

Wasn't attacking your post, most people I talked to didn't know the lads involved this morning.

Thing is you call them boys for a hand and you have to keep paying them back for a long time to repay the favor

Never wrestle with pigs

Wouldn't think so in this case. Don't know the back story only it's in the same family for 3 generations and 3 siblings lived in the house, one passed away not long ago. Circumstances changed that leads to the eviction. What ever about the debt and having to go fair enough.

Sending down ex uvf heavys to illaglly evict is a big no no that scratches the nerve/core of allot of Irish people. "In my opinion" this is what needs to be stamped out quickly before it's normal. Good work lads.

It's an opportunity too for certain political persuasions to give a warning of what may happen again with a hard border.

A lot more information on the financial situation that led to the eviction in this article

If that article is correct, then I'd have no sympathy for them
Unlikely cabot knowingly hired UVF heavies, but I'd have no sympathy for any kind of heavies either,if you want to be a hard man take what comes.

Edit ; just to clarify I mean no sympathy for the owner
going by the article KBC has nothing to do with current events ,they sold the debt

The elderly people evicted over refusing to pay what they owe won’t be moving back into that place now so I can’t see the point in this whole sorry exercise.

People like him not paying debts (not just the bank/Revenue/local suppliers) then dragging it out through the courts only make it harder for you-& everyone else that genuinely borrow from banks. The more this stuff goes on the more KBC type banks we'll end up with. Local branches won't want to know in case it goes wrong, easier to blame faceless KBC/vulture fund/UVF etc. We've an incredibly naive and immature attitude to people who won't pay debts. "Poor old farming family" my arse, then knew what they were at.

So they’re only in their 50s now? Play silly games, win silly prizes then.

Its alleged one brother ran up a nice bill in a local pub. Not quiet as bad as the quarry.

Tax defaulters cut us all short, they deny money to essential services in hospitals and schools.

Nobody would condone outright violence but the court made the decision and the property was to be taken. Rest of us pay our taxes and struggle along, why should these people get a free pass and sympathy when their reckless lifestyle catches up with them.

I’ve said before even though it’s unpopular. Farms cane be exempt from repossession for had debts. We all borrow money and we all understand that if you don’t pay the security needs to be taken to cover the debt. It’s the way a functioning finance system works.

it damages the overall reputation of farmers when bad debts can’t be recovered and they are then less and less likely to lend out against securities they can never recover.

Just to clarify ,by "them" I ment the farmer not the heavies , no sympathy for any of them

The same thing is going to end up happening over a block of land in wexford. Banks have the land sold on but the man they repossessed it off isn't giving up and has managed to sow and harvest the crop every year

Similar carry-on here, but the new owner put up a mass concrete wall at the entrance after previous owner cut his barley off it and planted it with osr that night, you wouldn’t mind but the particular family in question left north of a million owing to various creditors when they went bust and still go around with necks on them like a jockeys b****k
