    Also, wonder how they'll get there - will they drive, or travel? :confused:

    Guys, please stop pretending that the whole uproar is about the lads coming from NI to evict people.

    The likes of Ben Gilroy and the "anti eviction" crowd on facebook are against ALL EVICTIONS.

    The video of the eviction which was shared by anti eviction facebook pages etc showed the guys claiming there was no court order. They were resisting the eviction, not resisting the eviction by lads from NI.

    People should not be getting away with not paying their mortgage while most people work hard to pay theirs...

    And if you are one of the people who can't afford a mortgage, blame these people who default on their loans and won't leave for high mortgage rates.

    Under ECHR law the debtors prisons can't be re-opened. People wat all these fancy laws and then complain when it doesn't suit them.

    Here is a nice quote from PBP on the eviction:

    "The reality however is that the cycle of violence was started by KBC.
    They sold off the ‘distressed’ loan to a US vulture fund, Cabot Financial Ireland. No doubt they offered these sharks a big discount – which the original owner never got."

    No mention of the fact that the poor original owner had debts that he seems to have had no intention of paying and rebuffed all chances to settle things..

    I love the 'distressed' bit...


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,239 ✭✭✭Pussyhands


    Idiots! Why do they think KBC sell off mortgages? For the benefit of "vulture funds"?

    If KBC could get the money from the one paying the mortgage they'd keep it.

    It's telling that selling off these mortgages for "massive discounts" still makes more financial sense than whatever the mortgage holder would pay....

    It's only telling that everyone would stop paying their mortgage and demand a discount.

    All the money loaned out is itself borrowed so simply a case of cutting losses

    I hate the response from people about those buying the debt getting a discounted while the debtor didn't, if like some of those protesting got their way and that offer was made to the debtor then that would completely destroy the entire concept.

    We'll pay if we want to pay, and if you don't like it offer us a discount.

    The Tipperary TD added that "the courts and the sheriffs" should be the last resort.
    The eviction is the last resort...!

    Also, it seems the people now living in the house have the same rights as protesters.


  • Registered Users Posts: 267 ✭✭overkill602


    It would be simplistic at best to say this was an eviction that should not have been attempted given the occupant’s connections I would suffice to say the evictors walked into a trap.
    Spoke to a very well informed local in the area the people inside are actively connected to the IRA and well known to some of our elected representatives.
    As for the people who now remain back in the house they have a reputation of not paying for anything including the big shed at the rear for housing equipment in their locally owned quarry.

    that is just drivel that is being peddled by vested interests. Why would a bank lend money to someone with a reputation for not paying for anything?

    The people who are scared of whatever at the moment should engage with state and charitable supports that are available in pretty much every area they are scared of.

    People who never engage, bury their heads in the sand, turn to pseudo legal/Freeman groups for a snakeoil solution or engage criminals aren't doing themselves any favours. These groups make it harder for those genuine cases to access a sympathetic audience.

    1. the so called leader was elected to the Dáil and subsequently elected by the leading party to become taoiseach. What do you mean by "so called leader"?
    2. Not sure what the relevance of your Kylie stuff is
    3. in terms of the payments to the junior Anglo bondholders, given that they have constitutional protection, what would you suggest he do to show some backbone?
    4. civil disobedience? Like killing a dog and beating the crap out of people doing their job?

    Freedom is never completely unrestricted. I cant walk into my local Tesco and walk out with my groceries without paying while screaming "Food is a basic human right!!". If you dont pay a mortgage, you loose your house, and the Government provides emergency accommodation or social housing - just like everyone else that becomes homeless.

    If you dont pay, you cant stay.

    Yes you can walk out but you will be arrested by security who are registered and employed by the supermarket ....you will be restraint and held until Gardai arrive

    Hardly comparing apples with apples with a bank that hired un unregistered thugs as security and subsequently had elderly people beaten up.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 151 ✭✭l5auim2pjnt8qx



    Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said he does not see any circumstances where junior bondholders will be paid following the liquidation of IBRC.

    Earlier, Minister for Education Jan O’Sullivan said she fully supports her party leader, Tánaiste Joan Burton, in her stand on junior bondholders, and her assertion that they will not be paid.

    On Sunday Ms Burton ruled out the possibility of junior bondholders in Anglo getting a payout from the liquidation of the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation.

    Ms O'Sullivan said the Irish taxpayer is the priority for payment.

    Minister for Health Leo Varadkar has also said he believes that junior bondholders will not receive a payment from the liquidation.

    I believe that debt restructuring be insisted by state in helping people out of debt
    as many models have shown us people in debt will sink further and further as was this case , desperation spiralling out of control.

    Some people are happy watching individual being beaten up as opposed to the debt's being cleared, that says more of us as a nation instead of dealing wth the issue

    There are multiple avenues open to those people in debt in the state. Unfortunately sometimes even when all the avenues are exhausted there's nothing for it but bankruptcy and/or the sale of the asset(s).

    The rest of your post is just emotional responses, which while understandable to an extent, solves nothing. A state is not run on emotional responses.

    In the case at the heart of this is someone who doesn't appear to engaged in any meaningful manner with the supports available to him which has led to emotional responses to a plight of his own making.

    Its siding with other people, banks have to clear bad loans on their books to issue more good ones. Evicting these mass defaulters not only frees up enough bad debt on a banks ledger to issue a deserving couple or two a mortgage, but also puts a house onto the market for sale for somebody willing to pay for it.

    If these evictions were effective, our interest rates would be lower too, at the moment a mortgage is looking more and more like unsecured debt every day.

    How anyone that could condone this type of vigilante thuggish behaviour on 3 individuals in there 60 sixties 2 brother & 1 sister , one of the brothers was pulled out of the house by his ears and a retired Garda kevin Taylor was punched 20/30 times by the thugs while our own gardai were present.

    The agreement the government had with the banks was that buy-to-let properties
    were to be targeted not owner occupied homes. The bank had their debts written off at least people owner occupiers should off at least had 50% off or at least parked until the owners had passed away .

    Now we have a situation were a European bank are steam rolling people out of there homes while our own Gardai again don't appear to know what there job is or entails.....Protect the people keep the peace not look on....Disgraceful.

    "I am ashamed of my own country for allowing this.......Good on for community looking to protect there own.

    And good luck to anyone in that community looking for a mortgage in the future.

    Because they are 100% in the right! How few brain cells do all these idiots have who support a criminal tax defaulting farmer with IRA connections?

    If it was a politician and not a farmer the pitch forks would be out for him in a massive way, he deserves to be evicted, he deserves to be thrown on the side of the street and anyone who supports him better be happy paying the expensive mortgage interest rates we have in Ireland as it’s because of the likes of him they are so high. However I know most of his supporters are dole scrounging layabouts so they aren’t worrying about things like paying for a mortgage.

    Most people agree with debt restructuring but this case the person involved refused to engage and get his debt restructured, the fact you can’t see this is bizarre. He deserves to be kicked out and he certainly wasn’t beaten up, just because you imagined he was doesn’t make it true.

    Also I am very happy with the way Varadker delt with this as are any normal non-idiots I have spoken to about it so he very much is representing the people as our leader. If you think he isn’t it’s you that’s the problem not him.

    Having watched the videos of the lawful eviction I don’t understand what all the fuss is about. Security used reasonable force in removing the people from the property.

    They did a very professional job under difficult circumstances.

    From charging interest to not paying it out on savings to pressure on folk to engage in arrears, there is not much to admire about banking in general.

    But when it comes to supporting law and order, I will side with that and as a consequence I must also side with the banks.

    Any account/ loan is a contract with a bank and the terms of any contract were there from the start. If you break them, you can't have a problem when the banks take action.
