Pulled the calf and there he was, a lovely limo bull, as dead as a ****ing doornail. She had been leaving a pinkish red discharge behind her everywhere she lay down for the last ten days or so, so I feared the worst. I am as sick as a pig now. Going to have a cup of tea and off to bed.

reilig wrote: » How many other companies around the country have done the same thing? A large quarry and construction company near us developed 2 castle hotels and paid nobody for the work. Our diesel supplier went bust because they owed them €350,000, a local electrician went bust when they owed him €150,000, a plumbing company went bust because they were owed €250k. The 2 hotels are being promoted as big venues with several celebrity weddings to boot. Locals won't go near them. The company split their holdings into 3 divisions - a construction division, a hotel division and a quarry division. The construction division owes €150 million because of the debts from the hotels and houses built in Dublin. The hotels are running separate. the quarry is running and is owed several million from the construction business - so if there is any payout when the liquidator gets in, the quarry will get some of its own money back. Funny that all 3 businesses were a single entity until the property crash. Owner still has porche, Lambourgini and helicopter parked outside his big house. But he has had to hire private security to make sure that the people he ripped off don't get their pound of flesh! No wonder the country is a shambles. This guy is linked to major political figures also!

It sums up this country, the sad thing is that these f*****s will be wealthy for generations and the average PAYE worker of the country will be screwed for generations. On a seperate point. Doing a crossword at the moment, anyone know where brian odriscoll had his wedding?

He was ran out of one for being a bad payer, but the other mart still have him, why? Because he owes them so much money.
Suckler wrote: » And why do people do business with these dealers? Because being a cute hoor is still seen as some sort of badge of honour by some. People still fail to realise that the dishonesty of others increased business costs we all have to suffer. It's phrases like 'bad-payer' that dress it up from what it is. Thievery and nothing less. It's the same with tax avoidance, it's stealing from the people of Ireland yet those who are caught are never shy of a few friends. It's not just business's that are prone to this level of dealing, I've heard many tradesmen brought in to do jobs in peoples houses being stone-walled on completion - lines like "you'll get paid at the end of the month, just like all my other bills".

Suckler wrote: » Strikes etc. were threatened a few times - I was working for the main contractor - but nobody wanted to go that far and risk getting nothing for a long time. The case would inevitably be dragged out. Also you can be sure the payments clause referred to back-to-back payments whereby the subcontractors payment was dependent upon the main contractor getting paid. How the subcontractor could verify this was near impossible. Smaller subbies suffered than those with larger clout.
