Pamela Flood and Ronan Ryan are back!

gmisk

Don't worry folks, they managed to squirrel away enough money (from not paying their mortgage for 9 years) to open up a brand new swanky french themed cafe in Dublin 4.

Lovely bit of publicity for them....

A real story of the underdog coming good. Fair play to them for turning things around in these difficult times. They are the heroes we need. /S

It was a battle with "vulture funds" so it was. Nothing to do with not paying the mortgage.

Don't worry about your debt being written off Pamela. We'll pay that out of our taxes.

They've some utter fcuking cheek doing this.

Twas d’banks that made us do it

It's almost like people like this get a kick out of pissing the public off.

I'll be voting with my feet and making sure to avoid it

You'd know he was from Tipp, this is the same county electing Michael Lowry, Alan Kelly & Mattie McGrath year after year.

Dublin 4 of all places too aswell, I suppose when you don't pay your mortgage for years and come up with every excuse under the sun, its easy to afford the rent in an area like that as well.

Any other country in the world, he'd be dealt with properly. Cheeky ****

punisher5112

Anyone that gives them business needs a good boot....

I worked in the catering trade for a short time. Anyone who supplies them and does not accept Cash on Delivery, or cash when ordering needs their heads tested. If they asked me to change a lightbulb for them I'd want cash before doing the job.

Poor Uncle Tom

Now that they've put themselves on the block for public judgement, I'd like to get the full balanced story from start to now so I could make my own mind up. So far there's nothing balanced in anything I've read about them.

Can any random **** get free publicity for their new venture in the Indo or do you have to have at least 100 appearances in Sindo magazine New Years resolutions features, involving vintage clothing and the reception area of L'Ecrivain?

Are you getting a cut in Advertising too?

Tandey

Is the review section open for this kip yet?

Smee_Again

I wonder what they’d do if I ate there but refused to pay citing financial “difficulties”.

Probably have to take out a small mortgage to pay for the food there so makes complete sense not to pay for it.

Of course...I am totally on their side....as you can tell by the tone of my post.....

.anon.

I didn't even know they'd gone away. Or existed in the first place.

Checked the menu.
€8 for a breakfast bap.

“Comptoir breakfast roll”;
sourdough bap, egg, bacon, sausage, white pudding.

Not even a fancy artisan relish!

We're back baby!!

We should have an AH drinks and meal in there when COVID is over. And of course refuse to pay. Let the Mods sort it out.

Not necessarily, if it's actually premium products the pricing is OK.

You do need an account, though, even for the free 3 article access. Which I’m also glad I don’t have.

These are the types Ben Gilroy and those so called "Land League" fcuktards are enabling.

The S/Indo obsession with Irish Celebs is just awful, most of it seems only to fill page, Web page space. The articles that start with an alledged actual story, inevitably descends into a plug for a new business and really should have a paid advertisement caption.

As for the couple mentioned here, it's Ironic that the indo treated these two as Royalty for years and then like most Irish media, Poo"d on them from a height (Generally appropriate given what occurred), now back to the same old, lazy tabloid feeding frenzy. It's a cycle of repetitive nonsense in essence.

No, do you think it is a charity?

Anyone fancy explaining how that business works where ultimately the taxpayer isn't being shafted, fire away.

We already paid for it via the bank bailouts. The write off is just part of the expected costs for the fund that bought the loans, and was fully covered in advance in the discount on the loan book.

It wasn't her debt. She was a "notified party", but she was not on the mortgage. But sure the truth does not matter to some types of people.

I wonder if those bashing them on this thread would bash the other tens of thousands of people who faced financial difficulties and once they got agreement went and started their lives again.

In this case they are also providing employment.

The innate jealousy and utter hatred spouted by some people is disgusting.

Of course it was her debt, they were married and both lived in the house. Get out would you :rolleyes: She wasn't on the mortgage so that they could default on it, that's exactly how people get around these things.


Nothing to do with jealousy and hatred, the same is said for people who intentionally flout or bend the rule no matter what their social background.


People are always supportive of those who have come into difficulty. Those who leave their well paid spouse off the mortgage so they can default on the mortgage on their expensive mini mansion in one of the most expensive parts of Dublin. Those who claim they are living alone with their 4 kids and not working so they can get their council house for free while their fella is actually living with them and raking in money.
They, rightly get equal amounts of anger from those of use paying for their lifestyles via our taxes while we try to survive paying our rent/mortgage, bills etc

The absolute nerve of this pair! I hope their swanky D4 establishment is avoided, but I’ve a feeling that won’t be the case. Beyond shameless.

The way I'd see it there is a suggestion cash was being squirreled away there and every attempt should have been made to get any goods and chattels from the 'bankrupt' to lessen the losses to the taxpayer. A straightforward repo job, it's nothing new.

I don't like paying taxes if it can be avoided. The fact the taxpayer cannot or will not recover what is owed to them leads to increased taxes for all.
