It is all the hallmarks of the Sean Quinn situation. He gambled, he lost.

We still don't have the full picture but every day something new comes out that makes this guy look like a massive chancer and "cute hoor".

Disposable income is after tax but before rent. Still it’s welcome. About time in this recovery.

Irish people enjoy some of the highest average earnings among OECD countries but end up with one of the lowest disposable incomes due to high personal taxes and the cost of living, a new report shows.

Going up from a very low base

A mortgage taken out on the farm in 2004 along with the unpaid quarry bill would let me have a guess on what the gamble was.

What I don't understand is why all the supporters of this guy don't get their cheque books and credit cards out and give him the money to pay off his debts.

Or at the very least 'loan' him the funds needed

Half of Irish adults have below average intelligence.

But this thread is something else, it, along with Facebook and Twitter, would genuinely make you worried about the future. It's not the topic, but the way a large number of posters here have been taken in by populist bull**** living in a fantasy world where there is always someone else to blame.

no, if 98 adults out of 100 had intelligence levels of 50 and 1 had intelligence of 5 and one had and 90 what would average intelligence be?

The likes of yourself skew the average down

I asked that twice in the thread and got zero reply.

Funny that.:D

What exactly did the security team do that was bullying?

Pity people can't let their sectarian biases behind.

Except IQ scores are typically graphed on a bell curve and when people say the average IQ score is X they are referring to the middle of the curve. In fact IQ's are generally designed in such a way that the mean is always 100 on a bell curve. So they are pretty much never calculated that way.

You really should educate yourself on IQ's before you try to insult someone using them.

And unfortunately the poster you are replying to is right. people are not built to be objective. people make emotional, non rational decisions all the time. It's what fringe groups thrive on.

Aw cop on will ya.

Why are people such snowflakes today?
Almost full employment, pubs and restaurants raking it in, very strong retail sales in the run up to Christmas, yet people are never happy.

The problems in the country stem from the fact there is a cohort of Irish people who are simply retarded, who moan and whinge when debt collectors come calling when money they borrowed goes up in smoke.

We have massive cultural issues in the country, that stops us solving those big issues you mention.

Housing for example. People moan about the terrible plight on young renters and homeless, but they won't be too far long objecting to every bit of development that goes over 3 stories because that is 'high rise'

They also want to build a McMansion in some field in the middle of nowhere, yet decry the death of the towns and villages, when of course they don't' themselves choose to live or shop there.

They will decry any property tax the government will impose on them, stating that its an illegal tax or immoral tax or something.
Lets not even talk about water.

We as a nation are riven with utter stupidity and hypocrisy which prevents us being a grown-up nation, where we look and analyse issues in a grown-up fashion.

Easy to tell that you have not been trying to rent a property in the last few years. The rental market is an absolute disaster and getting worse and is a very legitimate concern for anyone that is renting

I`m beginning to think at least half of Irish adults are retarded.

There is a full factual article here that outlines the many debts and judgments registered against the noble crusader by various financial institutions. I`m no scientist but it doesn't take one to spot that someone doesn't like paying their bills.

But sure that`s ok, we will just blame the banks and the politicians and the fictional "elite" for peoples inability to control their personal finance. We wouldn't be Irish if we didn't look for someone to blame our problems on.

Your a bit retarded if you cannot see that it was bringing down Loyalist scum to the Republic to evict people from their homes is why we even know that this case exists.

Finally, a news outlet has reported on the violent security firm from the north involved in the eviction!

So, when we've finished hurling insults and name-calling, does anyone know what's going on at the property today?

You're clutching at straws. It didn't matter who turned up, there was going to be resistance. The 2 siblings will be removed again, and in a few weeks time people will find something else to be outraged at.

Heard on Morning Ireland this morning that two of the family members have moved back into the property, and just want to put this whole thing behind them and get on with their lives.

Family are in there. The security firm have gone home and there are groups of people from different parts of the country around. A boon for the local economy.

They are going to need to get a good solicitor and maybe an accountant and get serious with the bank and the revenue then.

*Also beg forgiveness from a judge in the high court.

The family have reoccupied.

A demonstration of the immense power communities hold. When such a large number of people are moved to such action it speaks to how disgracefully last Tuesday was handled, with Gardai standing idly by. Our society functions because people consent to the laws and due process of the land. They will not stand for this kind of charade, and that is a good thing.

Apparently Gardai informed them that they are now illegally occupying and to consult legal advice. I'm sure further conversations will ensue in the new year, but the approach taken a second time will necessarily need to be different.

What da fcuk does that mean? Ignore the debts and the fact that the bank now owns the house?

And say a few prayers that the security guys who got a hiding (or their buddies) don't come back in their spare time to kneecap them.

Hopefully the old siblings won't be thrown into a ditch again.

You can't be posting that here. Shure aren't they fine upstanding law abiding, tax paying people.

Cool. Maybe I can do that for a house I sold 15 years ago and hope the current owners don't mind.
