I cant see any flaws with that at all. you must owe the bank a lot of money.

If he was a "normal" person who was in debt, he'd be turfed out of that house by the bank months ago. IMO it's only because he's a profilic name that they've let him carry on living in the house and didn't throw him out as expected at 4 o clock yesterday. He is a solicitor so one would think that he'd be relatively well informed and clued up..why not sell his house, that would go to paying off a minority of the debt that he's in! I suppose the family are too stubborn to do that though, only reason why they've barricaded themselves in I'm sure! All the taxes people pay have gone to him in the past so I hope they do chuck him out. I don't have sympathy. I would if they had given themselves up immediately but carrying on like this is just ridiculous - I mean, it's not like they have no where else to go, wouldn't be surprised if O'Donnell has a secret pile of cash somewhere (you would imagine that he would've anticipated this). Anyways, I'm very interested in this story and will be watching the news closely to see how it all ends. Btw, what was the story with Vincent Browne going in to see him? I know he too thinks what O'Donnell is doing is selfish so why does he think he could talk some sense into him? Maybe I've got it wrong? I just saw a snippet of VB entering the property and assumed that the O'Donnells had allowed him acccess
