Liveline Thread (15/02/2012 to 01/05/2012)

Bard

Folks,

Once again, at the request of the Admins, we have had to close the current Liveline thread due to its size. The discussion on Liveline can now continue on this thread as and from Feb 15th 2012 (but it will have to be transplanted to another thread again if/when a certain thread length is reached).

So carry on as normal... while remembering that Radio is a moderated forum, and the Liveline thread is not exempt from that - you're required to be civil and observe the rules as per the charter.

Thanks.

I wonder if it was a banker who had stroked 1.5 million would all these good people be on here saying how terrible it was that he got 6 years.

He should have got more.

Got more? Seriously?

He should be made pay back what he owes but instead he is going to jail where he will cost the taxpayer a few hundred thousand more for his stay. That is just retarded....

Surprised Joe hasn't gone pun-tastic yet.

"we're hardly comparing apples and garlic here!"

Yeah, ministers interfering is a good road for the country to go down.

Paul Begley had been convicted of scamming the tax system.

This should not be broadcast

If he's paying it all back, so willingly - maybe he should've considered paying it all in the first place.

There has to be a deterrent to chancing your arm until you're caught.

That is the attitude to Tax and Company law in this country.

If you catch me, I'll pay it back and everything will be alright.

It is all wrong and anyone who commits Tax Fraud deserves their punishment.

Joe sounds fierce grumpy today

When the judge handed down the sentence, he said to Paul Begley "How about those apples"..

Careful Joe, he's a live one!

RTE should not be broadcasting this.

This is interfering in the administration of Justice

Oh great, everyone does it, so that makes it OK :rolleyes:

He should declare if he knows this Paul Begley. He doesn't sound at all objective on the case.

Insignificant amount of money??? Just over a million is insignificant???

europa11

€1 million = insignificant!

to you maybe pal (and the man you're talking to)

It was quite a hilarious story, sadly!

He'll be appealed and sentence reduced, I'm sure.

But Joe, the bankers Joe! If its not them, its the social welfare stealing all our garlic!

The bloke who defrauded the state for 248,000 on the dole...got 12 years.

1.5 million = 72 years

You're in the industry and are into your EU conspiracy theories and you don't know the reason why there's such a high tax ? Protectionism for the EU producers.

This aul lad opinion is meaningless.

As sentence has been passed that cannot be said. The Minister for Justice
isn't going to repeal the sentence after all.

JonathanAnon

This is the most unjust and ridiculous sentence ever handed down by our "justice" system..

I think it is actually more morally wrong that Mary Hanafin, Bertie Ahern, Mary Coughlan etc all take pensions of >120K from the State that they helped destroy...

Money is worth more then life it seems..

Then who cares what these people opinions are and why are we being forced to listen to it?

How many bankers have been jailed? They've cost the tax payers tens of billions, not a million. I'm not saying he shouldn't be punished, but there seems to be something off about the justice system in relation to this case.
