I see a couple of people have been arrested.

Be interesting to see who they are linked with.

Hopefully they'll be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

i wonder were the balliffs wearing bodycams while attacked?? be interesting to see the footage if it ever becomes available..that way we'll have a clearer picture of what happened

But at least they'd be licensed and regulated.

Overstep your mark or remit? License revoked.

Seems a slightly better option than enlisting men from a different jurisdiction, some of which may have questionable pasts/links.

But sure we'll continue on with the strokes town method.

What could go wrong?

They should be licensed and regulated. No disupute.

The point being made was the only thing that would change would be who is carrying out the work and their license to do so. The method would not.

They would still have remit to use reasonable force to physically remove the occupants.

If I take out a loan for a nice new Merc and I refuse to pay back a cent will anyone volunteer to come and help me to stop them repossessing it?

It depends, are you a loyalist

If you're brother and sister lived in the Merck I would help

I've never once on this thread condoned dodging tax and I do believe there has to be consequences to not paying loans otherwise the system fails but in this case it was way to heavy handed and I was glad they had their arses handed back to them

But you have drawn the inference that this guy should not pay his debts because someone else e.g developers,bankers, whatever got away with theirs.

You also use language like being TURFed out of their home.
So do you think the property should have been repossessed at this stage ? Yes/No ?

What do you expect when the institution that hold the loan reaches the end of the line?

Do we know at this point if they followed due process? The family disputes that and has engaged their solicitors. So I don't think we have seen both sides of this story at all

Was this more cost savings by the defaulter(s).
Don't bother with legal advice until you are being actually kicked out.

I wonder has the solicitor looked for cash up front.
Then again that is one crew I would not mind seeing getting shafted by McCann.:D

Jesus we have reached peak Chuckie with the faux indignation. The eviction was legitimate and lawful. The debtor's were told 2 days before it happened and they chose to stay and resist. The blowing this out of proportion by Sinn Fein and their useful idiots is painful to listen to. The economic illiteracy that is being displayed by Sinn Fein is worse than normal. All this ****e cause a few republican thugs had a hard on to bash some Jaffa's!

The evictions which took place in the 1800s when landlords' demands got too high for people to afford were also "legal and legitimate" at the time, which is what spurred widespread, eventually successful campaigns to change the law - and ultimately led to the Irish independence movement.

Wonder what would happen if guys from the republic working for a securuty company went up north working for a bank and evicted people from the loyalist community from there homes . How would that go down? Outrage I would imagine.

Exactly. the law has been changed. It is now very difficult to get an eviction order. According to the independent article this has been in court since 2009. 9 feckin years. Things have swung too far the other way.

Lads unless you're actually trying to outdo each other with childish and stupid commentary the ex peeler as you call him was assualted photos have been posted online look for them if ye want and as for a hug off his mammy very difficult considering she's dead. Whatever the rights and wrongs of ignoring the eviction notice or the associated debts heavy handed evictions in a rural setting is going to inflame the local community.

FFS if they broke the guys leg you'd have a point. He got a grazed knee, he wasn't assaulted he was attempting to block a legal possession of a property by the Bank who owned it because of the debtors inability to meet his commitments.

The eviction from the evidence presented was in no way heavy handed. It is fallacious in the extreme to suggest it was.

I don't think the poor unfortunates that got turfed out in the 1800s, had a loan out for the equivalent of a Land Rover.

British or Irish is just a description of someone's nationality, loyalists or republican is political.

Yeah I know. That was my actual point.
