No quitten we're whelan onto chitchat 12.

An iconic Irish TV moment 🤣, right up there "try it some time" and the lad falling on the ice.

now i dont have much sympathy for the couple as they havent covered themselves in glory.. but i think a couple years in jail would be better.. this house is way off the beaten track… down a side road in bohermeen which is a very rural area.. i remember trying to find the GAA pitch in bohermeen many moons ago and got lost numerous times..! if this was built on the Trim Navan road then yes tear it down but i think where it is leave it standing…

have to say we live in a very very strange country.. you really have to be very unlucky for something like this to happen you.. we all watched how Larry Goodman who got into debt to the tune of 460million quid got bailed out by the govt of the day… 460m was some amount of money in 1989.. fast forward to 2008/2009 and Sean Quinn was thrown under a bus.. i hope SEan wasnt watching the programmes bout Larry and see how he was saved from going under..

there is a farmer near me who is farming on the wild atlantic way here in north kerry that has buit several sheds over the last 20yrs and he has zero planning permission for any of them… and im sure there are plenty more like him across the country.. there are people using houses for air b'n'b without planning permission to do so.. the list goes on and on…

why have this couple who have a house built in the backarse of no place become the fall guys??

can you tell me cos i cant find it anywhere that he did.. did jim mansfield actually ever flatten his conference centre?

yes not the same and like i said the couple have not covered themselves in glory… the wife has said too much and would be better to keep her big mouth shut…

but there are plenty of buildings across the country built without any planning and there are buildings not being used what they are supposed to be used for according planning permission when are they going to be knocked down… why is this house the only one being knocked…

again can anyone tell me was the conference centre in citywest demolished…???

While Section 47 (7 year occupancy) may be OK for building a rural house, forcing section 47 on the remaining farm land is just plain wrong and unjust.

Rte/ the journal/news talk/the Irish times/the Irish independent etc don't want to be seen to criticise the ongoing migration scam being perpetrated against the Irish taxpayer as it would validate the arguments of the "far right". Hence, they don't care about the complete bypassing of the planning system for refugee/scammer housing.

In the same way the media care about value for money over small things like the bike shed but not the billions per anum we piss away to the already rich and well connected running the ipas racket.

The couple in Meath obviously were very brazen and shouldn't have did what they did but they owned the land, presumably bought it themselves, paid for the building of the house etc with their own money from I presume heavily taxed honest work. If the state was to apply the planning requirements stringently and fairly across the board it might be reasonable to demolish the house. The couple missed a trick, if they put a few "refugees" in it, the Irish media would be fighting with every ounce of their strength to stop the demolition.
