    Hopefully when she is sat in front of the managing director of RTE and he has a new contract for her to sign with an 90% reduction in salary she will remember those insightful words.

    Was he not involved in fronting an investment in Bulgarian property?

    Nope. It was largely around commercial property in markets like Germany, etc. He was telling all and sundry to avoid Bulgaria like the plague, specifically because of dodgy planning and overbuilding.

    I remember it distinctly because I thought it was a seriously silly move from a PR point of view. Let's be honest, the media and public don't do nuance, especially when it comes to investment and money. People saw Eddie fronting something property related, and figured he'd joined the 'get a 120% buy-to-let mortgage while you can!' brigade.

    Here's a bit on the strategy at present: http://www.brendaninvestments.ie:7080/strategy/
    And here's a bit on the performance:

    To date, it hasn't done great at all, though probably a bit better than most property-focused funds over the period. More to the point, it's damaged his media career - any half-bright numpty who wants to undermine him just accuses him of peddling flats in Eastern Europe, and mud sticks.

    Also, he forced a Labour TD Michael McCarthy to apologise to him last year on Matt Cooper for linking him Corporate Pensions & Trustee Services.
