who was the judge in the court that gave the order? and who was the sherrif that came to collect?

I'm sure I could find out for you. Listening to Joe Duffy and it's rather pathetic as well to hear people defending them.

You might be confused if you don't know all the story. That's mostly how Rich get richer...

Just heard on the news that Eamonn Gilmore says he has alot of sympathy for them and he is going to meet them. Wonder would he announce on the radio that he was going to meet with ordinary person if he/she was evicted?

They wouldn't meet the residents of Priory Hall when they were asked but they'll go meet this couple who are clearly in the wrong. :rolleyes:

A reposession order can take a minimum of 2-3 years to obtain and thats only if you don't defend yourself and don't negotiate with your bank. If the repossesion order was granted in 2010 then proceedings would have been initiated at the latest around 2007.

That is your opinion and speculation, not proof of what happened. I am looking for links to reports of the court case and details of how and when the repossession order was granted.

By the way a number of poster here seem to be confusing this couple with the O'Donnells who owe €72 million.

honda, i thought your post was in relation to the farmer down the country - hence the question I asked (the answer is, they were one and the same). It is quite pathetic to see people defending these two, I agree.

Do they really have 9 properties as well as that house? can that be confirmed, I know the estate, its 2 mins from my house, its more ballybrack than Killiney as its on the ballybrack side of the road.

Looks like the occupy dame street muppets going by a photo on twitter.

The fncking irony. The 99% standing up for one of the 1%.

I think the couple are at fault in this, but i question the fact the bank can get 6 - 7 garda out there for that, and i cant get the garda to my house after a robbery.

It may be my opinion on this case but as I worked for INBS dealing with mortgage arrears, obtaining repossesion orders where necessary and attending repossesions, I know how it works.

El Inho · 19-04-2012 02:20PM

just want to say im delighted to see many people not defending them..

just cos they are elderly, and shout anglo irish bank over and over, doesnt mean they are a victim..

a 2 million mortgage! :eek:

they had responsibilities, and while i dont agree with the force being used, i can only imagine after 2 years of this going on, it was the last resort.

I don't envy people who have lots of money and can afford living in bigger houses and have a better lifestyle than I do - if they are capable of financing it. These guys lived above their means, they gambled their money, if their house was repossessed they probably couldn't afford repayments well before the bank decided to repossess and that was 2 years ago. They had enough time to sort out their means.
Why is everyone blaming Sean Fitzpatrick and feel like his victims? That's not true! There is one common denominator in those people's misfortune today and that is greed.
People were not happy with what they had, they wanted more and more and so they invested. Investments are a gamble so you can win but you can also lose. That's reality. I was watching The Pope's Children last week and once again, I was completely taken aback by some people's attitude. Watching a full plane of potential investors flying to Bulgaria, waffling about how the apartments in a country they have zero knowledge about are going to make them rich, now that's a mentality that someone should explain to me because I will never get it. Buying property as an investment all over Ireland and not stopping for a minute to think about how far the market can continue to grow, I will never get it and I'm by no means a good economist.
It wasn't the bank's fault or Fitzpatrick's fault that your family was in danger of losing the house you call home. It was the fault of the person who decided to use it as a guarantee for a gamble.

Had the banks been prudent, they wouldn't have handed the money over in the first place. They should have known more than anyone that the bubble wasn't going to go on forever. They were blindly gambling with their customers' money.

But what sort of gangster organisation gives a 2 million Euro mortgage to people of this age?

If Anglo was not nationalised the same people saying let them drown would be singing a different tune. Funny how that works.

Yakult · 19-04-2012 02:24PM

No sympathy for them from the start.

doesnt really matter... i believe he was a developer?

so to get a large sum of money isnt surprising...and regards his age, he has plenty of fight in him

Duckjob · 19-04-2012 02:24PM

Just listened to the interview with him on Newstalk, Sounds like he's totally in La-la-land.

When questioned about his loans basically said my finances are my own business.

Newsflash sunshine:
You stay in your luxury home without paying your bills
= everybody else has to pay your bills
= Your finances are very much my business.

bullvine · 19-04-2012 02:25PM

Totally agree, hard to feel sorry for them, Facebook exploded this morning with people condemning it but I wanted to wait till I got a good read of the background. If I live till 71, I would like to think I wont have a mortgage then and just be happy to be able pee standing up, have a few pints and a walk in the park. I wouldnt be thinking about borrowing loads of extra cash and make shed loads of more millions! Might as well of went to Paddy Powers at the weekend.

I don't know his background but I believe he said he was a landlord.

Age should matter. Anglo are a bunch of gangsters who are majorily responsible for our financial situation. And then the elected gangsters many people voted in on three occassions nationalised them.

If this was a private bank the "Let them drown crowd', would not be so vocal.

WRONG... Anglo are scum and no doubt but this guy is no better.

Mousewar · 19-04-2012 02:28PM

Most salient point I've read is a criticism of him saying that because all his other properties were currently leased they had no where to go. Apparently there's lease agreements in place.

Hmmm, how long does a lease agreement normally last? = 1 year
When did you get the repossession order? = 2 years ago

I wouldnt be surprised if there is a PR agency involved here somewhere.

Why is he scum? So everyone who bought a property and who have lost their job and are unable to pay back their mortgage are scum?
