Turns out he was complaining about a derelict house which my family were in the process of buying.Despite the fact that we weren't the legal owners and our entering the house would be breaking and entering, he was claiming that we were letting the house fall apart and become a safe haven for cokeheads and a deathtrap for children.

The Irish conveyancing (buying and selling of property) system is a mess. Sometimes the process from contracting to buy, to actually completing a purchase could take years! The situation of "being in the process of buying" for a long time is entirely understandable (unfortunately).

I was/am sicking of seeing his bloody mug in the paper every second week. Second place goes to Michael Crowe. He reeks of ambition and you know he doesn't stand for anything. Screw it I should just go through the lot of them. Third place is Catherine Connolly, she is always 'shocked and appalled'

The audacity of that one - one full side of the cardboard dedicated to a posed picture of herself - I mean, even if she WAS goodlooking it is a bit narcissistic. Will certainly turn a lot of people off - what planet is she living on. Unbelievable Frank Fahy is a little fraud - no more, no less
