Lets sing the Fields of Athenry, it helped us in the Euros didnt it

Didnt it?

The insurer also alleged Ms Glennon Cully "has a gift for disagreement" and had fallen out with five former advisers.

That there is legal speak for "cunt".

thebaz · 15-02-2013 02:04AM

do the courts really believe such exaggerated drivel ??

Gary ITR · 15-02-2013 02:04AM

I don't see anything wrong with that, they probably paid insurance premiums out their nose over the years anyway

so everyone who has a claim , should now be put up in the 4 Seasons , when we are told the country is knackered , and still run by the IMF

''She and her children Zane and Zara had sued AXA alleging unacceptable delays by it in having their home - Victoria House, St John's Road, Sandymount - reinstated so they could return to live in it.''

Wtf? You'd think the Indo could afford people who can write?

Ha! Remember that bish that bought the skanky áss appartment and moaned about it??

AlmightyCushion · 15-02-2013 02:08AM

I stopped reading when I seen she named her children Zane and Zara. What a geebag. I hope she gets nothing because of that.

don't forget the poor parrot that must be upkept in D4 only

Johro · 15-02-2013 02:19AM

Yeah this is the offending bit:

''Ann Marie Glennon Cully said, while there were other houses similar to her home on Dublin's Ailesbury, Shrewsbury and Simmonscourt roads at rents between €7-10,000 monthly, they were not available. They moved into the Four Seasons because it was near their home and the only nearby hotel that would take the children's pets - four dogs and a parrot.
AXA argued she herself chose the "very expensive" Four Seasons and was intent on staying there "at all costs". It claimed she "set her face"
against other substantial family residences and refused to even view a four bedroom house on St John's Road for rent at €1,900 monthly.''

Now I don't like insurance companies, in fact I despise the way they always look for a sneaky get out clause when it comes to paying out, to people who have paid their premiums for years, but this here is taking the piss alright.
I wonder where the water escaped from? If I were associated with AXA I'd want to know.

agree , but , at the end of the day these kind of ludicrous claims/payments will make it even more difficult for the average , decent (honest) person trying to get moderate legitamit payment

Johro · 15-02-2013 02:27AM

Poor Zane and Zara were on constant duty monitoring the pump day and night.

No doubt while mummy slept. What a slappable woman.
I'm guessing her premium will go up.

Do you understand insurance? If they paid a premium to protect their home which is clearly a nice gaff then the insurance company would be obliged to put them up in another nice gaff.

i'm not sure why this reflects on the state of the country, it is a private case between someone and an insurance company.
she stood up for what she felt she deserved after spending what was likely a hefty premium and the courts agreed.

before quinn went tits up, posters here were complaining about their modus operandi where they'd try and get you to take a weekend in the slieve russell instead of claiming etc.
i have very little sympathy for insurance companies tbh.

To be fair to the OP though she was offered 'nice gaffs'. She's just one of those people who thinks she's entitled. She saw an opportunity and took it too far, and now she has been awarded €800,000 for her trouble.
Normal people would have taken up residence in one of the suggested homes, or would even have considered simply taking up the upper floors of the house while repairs were carried out. There was damage to the ground floor, but just water damage, if it was me I would have stayed and saved myself a lot of hassle. But hey, it paid off for her. AXA will get their money back alright and I don't have a lot of sympathy for insurance companies either, but other people will end up paying the price for her greed.

don't forget the legal team, if the award is bigger, then they'll do better also. it's in their interest to use words like 'destitute'. they also thought she would be able to win this if they took it this far.

i take exception to the word homeless and destitude , especially when the have another home in Brittas Bay , and hefty trust funds -

hardly sound like the lifestyle of most homeless in Ireland , surely the judicary can see through this ?

Are you saying that insurance companies shouldn't pay out on claims

Galwayguy35 · 15-02-2013 03:00AM

I dislike Insurance companies but
the more they pay out , the more passed on to the rest of us for policies

and I speak from experience , I have never had an insurance company pay me a cent , and had insurance all my life , they weasled out with small print stuff ... what goes around comes around
