Its actually a 'non home ownership' tax. A tax levied on those who rent or are over 18 but live at home and so are not contributing via house hold charge, water rates, septic tank rates etc.

I shoved some Veet up me nostrils, but I'm obviously too early.:(

Jesus, it's ****in painful!

Occupy Dame Street? Or did I imagine that bit

I hear the Occupy Dame Street gentlefolk have indeed staged a sit-in at the Dublin City Sheriff's office in Temple Bar.

Someone needs to explain to them, in words of one syllable, that the Sheriff with jurisdiction over 'County' Dublin, i.e. the 3 Councils excluding the City, therefore including Killiney, is based in Ballyboggan Road, Finglas. :rolleyes:

F*ckwits.

Did I hear it correctly on the radio this morning that the mortgage was €2 million, or the house was bought for €2 million or something? If it was any pity I had for them went right out the window.

Somehow I dont feel sympathy for the D4 elite!

Someone needs to explain to them that campaigning for a property magnate doesn't fit in with what they are supposed to stand for.

Most of the occupy Dame Street people are probably from Killiney. Over privileged middle class kids trying to save the world, wait correction their world.

Why bother explaining anything to them? makes them look like the inept idiots that they are

On the Newstalk interview he gave this morning, he said it was a 2million mortgage on a house then worth 3.75million. If almost said it with pride mixed with nostalgia.

Also for anyone asking why a bank authorised this mortgage, there's reasoning there. At the time it looked like a 2million euro risk on an asset valued at nearly double that. Even now the bank could near clear it's loan if the house still has a value estimated around 2million

I hope Gilmore falls flat on his gee over this.

He's a "see which way the political wind is blowing and follow it" spineless sh*te-hawk.

I'd thank this 1000 times if I could!

If he helps them out, there will be murder!

He'll probably have a word in the ear of Alan Dukes... :mad:

Ballyboggan Road doesn't have the same access to a range of pubs/shops etc.

F*ckwit.

Putting aside all the comments about how wealthy these home owners where and frankly i couldn't care less if they where oil barons.But personally I have a huge problem with the fact that these men who where not Garda, where able to removed these people from a property with impunity. I feel personally like it was an assault and this aspect of the case makes me feel sick. If anyone else wants to misquote me and think I'm supporting the couple can read my posts again and you will see I'm not. I'm just angry and worried that these so called "bailiffs" can come along and drag someone off their property. That is my thoughts on this matter and im not gonna say much more.

Do you have an alternative? If the bank gave you a contract to get these people off their property, how would you do it?

Why a sprinkling of fairy dust of course? Or maybe a hypontist? Or how about a 50euro note on a fishing line to lure them out :P

They should have used some US Navy Seals and done a Bin Laden on the pair of them.

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.

This is not opinion, it's fact. It takes years to get a possession order. IBRC got it two years ago.

Facts.

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.

On RTE earlier the couple said that THEY called the gardaí.

Havent read through all the thread but how in the name of god did a bank lend to this man in 2004... he would have been 64 years old. i thought all mortgages had to be paid in full by age 65. If this man had been a developer NAMA would have came in and bailed him and all his other properties out - just like they did with all the other builders who didnt pay the mortgages on any of their propertiesif you are not a banker or a developer in this country - you are screwed

I suspect it was a business loan rather than a mortgage, secured against the house. The loan was sensible, seeing as it was secured against a good asset. The borrowing was clearly stupid.

They gave him the money past retirement age because as we all know, property can only ever increase in value, therefore they could not lose - and indeed they haven't because we're bailing these fu<kers out now.

Had a look at the article in the Irish independent today and I have zero sympathy for the old couple.

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

As a landlord he can break the lease anytime if its to move back to his own property.
