    Rawr rawr I hate them law enforcers!! [/crap]

    Most likely people trying to earn a living and provide for themselves is my guess, most seem to be nice people as well. Whats your opinion of them op? :rolleyes:

    My brother in law used to be a repo man (not the fella from WWF :p), broke his heart to do it most days but he had no money and had to provide for his family.

    I'd imagine they are just like the rest of us,just because they do a *****y job doesn't make them bad.

    Yeah but surely you have limits as to what you would put yourself through?

    Like if your local paper was advertising positions for "Barnyard Masturbators" or "Flatulence Analysts" would you still give it a whirl?

    Are you really comparing being part of the cause of a mass genocide to collecting debts 9/10 times which was caused by the persons in debt own stupidity.

    Any bailiff that chases a T.D. for unpaid taxes has my support.

    Well, since the Court Officers Act 1945, which amended the Court Officers Act 1926, the answer is that most of the people who act as sheriffs are qualified solicitors.

    :confused: Pighead's guessing you've got a few tabs open and that message wasn't meant for here. Not to worry, just copy what you wrote and paste it into your www.cybersex.com tab.
    No real harm done.

    It took me ages to find this story from way back in 1996. The reason I remember it is because the land agent involved in the eviction was a neighbour of mine; he was named Colm Craigie, he was 36 years old, and he took his own life during this very controversial eviction of the Graham family from their 2,300 acre An Grianán estate in Co. Donegal.

    Here's a history of what happened from the Irish Law Archives in 1996:

    A very dirty job indeed.

    one with a work ethic which means they took a job rather than being a dole monkey?

    what exactly is a dole monkey? is it the countless thousands who lost their jobs, and after paying tax and prsi are entitled to their DOLE.

    Not always the case, i know a family where the husband's business went down the tubes after a major contractor client of his went bust. The contractor was able to restart under a different trading name and the poor guy was left with a lot of debt and a very unmerciful Sheriff. He ended up taking his own life so i have no time for the scumbags.
