It wasn't implied anywhere

What's a 'forced' eviction as against the more regular type of eviction?

It's a propaganda tool to make the hippies look harmless and defenseless.Making "the Man" look big and scary when the fact was that the protesters were the ones causing the hassle.

I think, in a nutshell, a regular is when you're told to leave and you leave, and a forced eviction is where you're told to leave and you refuse and so the police would probably be called in. I'm sure someone here knows the legal definition.

edit: Seachmall ninja'd me.

In fairness, if your post wasn't about the subject of this thread, then why post it here? You have to assume that everyone else would think it related to the story.

In fairness, the thread is about media coverage, or lack thereof, however, this being After Hours I felt it acceptable to give forth my view on why we're in the state we're in as it's somewhat related to the discussion at hand.

OP, are you really surprised? Here's something that's really only dawned on me lately. Irish people hate Irish people. We have ZERO unity. I think it could come from a massive inferiority complex, maybe brought about by the whole 800 of oppression but that's just guesswork on my part. But either way from what I've seen Irish people won't stand up for each other, ever. Romantic Ireland's dead and gone, it's with O'Leary in the grave and all that. Seriously OP stop expecting to see Irish society stand together against anything, they're only interested in keeping each other down, not helping each other by working together. It's seen as very uncool to stand up for yourself or others.

Like the ones arguing on this thread that it's ok to rip people's homes out from under them to hand to a bank because it's "legal", idiots.

Some load of nonsense. I've certainly no interest in standing up for someone who refuses to pay their rent or mortgage.

You had a rant against the Irish that was barely related to the topic and got called on it. There's no point getting shirty and insulting people.

I genuinely hope you never fall on hard times and can't afford to pay your rent or mortgage. This isn't one or two people who can't afford their mortgage, we're talking about approximately 100,000 households. That's nearly 10% of mortgage holders are 90 days or more behind their mortgage repayments.

The majority of these people aren't wasters, they're normal hardworking people.

subway · 21-02-2012 03:58PM

I'd say they were given plenty of warning and did nothing, so hardly ripped from under them.
Where the **** is my free house?

I posted this in a thread re Health Insurance in April of last Year;)

Having been on boards for approx 8 weeks now, I am sceptical as to whether it is part of our psyche to look after each other............now I am not for one minute saying boards is fully representative of society, it never could be however, there are more threads here with people turning on one another than I imagined. Overweight v. thin (the overweight are more of a drain on the HSE, surely not!), employed v. unemployed, private sector v. public, middle class v. lower classes, middle class v. wealthy, left v. right and so on........

Now, it is only my opinion but, are we not the product of this Country as well as the consumer, are our lives and the quality of them not the product that we elect our Governments to manage in terms of providing services?

Up until 8 weeks ago I was in a well paid job thinking that my future was fairly safe, not so. Then, being in the public service, I was used to attracting comments of how cushy I had it (even the ex husband tried that on one occasion!! He's ok now though). And when speaking to those employed within the private sector (I have worked in both areas in my time), I learned very quickly to keep my job to myself, now in the short matter of 2 months I must ready myself for the ire of those who have been lucky enough to hold on to their jobs thus far!! God forbid I should feel down and eat a packet of choccie biscs to cheer myself up....getting very close to being Public Enemy No. 1!!

I guess what I am saying is united we stand and divided we fall.....perhaps we should stop taking out our fears and frustrations on other citizens of our homeland and concentrate our efforts on demanding results from those we employ to manage Ireland Inc...if everyone on boards put aside their prejudices regarding weight, employment status, class and wealth and put their not inconsiderable talents and intelligence into taking on the Government on their results and progress, it would be a very powerful lobby...open to correction here folks

A meeting of minds??

Well I'll never be dumb even to buy a huge mortgage for some **** house. Also, 100,000 people aren't being evicted so why is this person? Obviously they are a special case, so how long do you think it's acceptable for people not to pay their mortage, 180 days? 365? 2 years? 5 maybe?

From reading the thread over in politics.ie it seems that they sold some property to pay for their debt and only a small amount of debt remained, the bank was unwilling to restructure the debt in any way.

No,it's called being a responsible adult and not relying on society to pick you up.People who don't pay their mortgage are just as bad as the banks.

I'll read the p.ie thread for your sake, but why not share the "facts" with the boards.ie readers?

Laws however are the foundation of the state and mustn't be broken.

Couldn't disagree more with this. Its too easy to use the legality of an action to justify unethical or immoral behaviour. Without going into the more obvious ww2 examples or 'stealing food to feed starving family' stories.

Have anymore facts come to light yet,. Was it,

A. someone who could not afford much and putting food on the table before paying the bill.

B. Some fool like a bloke i worked with who was self employed as a "Builder" brags that he owes over 1.2 Million, ignores phone calls from everyone who he owes money to, is out for Dinner and Drinks once a week, pub at least another time during the week and always able to afford cigarets and drive around in a 2008 Land Cruiser saying where is my debt forgiveness.

If it is a case that these people fall under category A. I have genuine pity for them, because these people would generally did not see any of the Boom Time "Money" but saw the price of everything rise.

If they fall under category B. i have not one ounce of sympathy, they can drive a 96 Vauxhall and eat beans on toast for all i care.

So nothing on pie other than a few hearsay facts.
None of which make any sense. The bank only get what they are owed. Do you understand that? If the land is so valuable the owner will be quids in after the sale. But it isn't, so they won't. It's not magic.

And in relation to my post, for the Gardai to be be on hand and a mob waiting, they had plenty of notice. Work it out...
