Liveline thread

They’ll not have a leg to stand on Joe.

Leaving aside your lame effort to turn this into a disabled gag thread…

-They’ve been taking your man’s money for years for the car draw.
-He won it
-They said their legal advice was that it would be wrong to give it to a disabled lad cos he couldn’t drive it
-Something else about not letting disabled people gamble…

I’d say one of 2 things is happening right now.
Either, Whoever said ‘tell this and say it was on legal advice…’ is shitting himself. And an actual solicitor connected to the Credit Union is preparing a defamation case.
Or, Whatever fella is a half qualified solicitor in Cavan giving out dodgy advice is shitting himself.

That’s mental if true and doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. What odds is it to them what he does with the car?

Liveline is a top, top show.

“Where’s my elephant???”

Have it on now. Financial abuse being discussed now. A few posters on here must engage in that mane behaviour.

If Cavan ever played Scotland in a Champions League semi-final I’d expect a 0-0 draw over two legs

Both Cavan people and Scotch people are notoriously stingy with money, thus creating the joke about stingy defences

Thankfully last night’s Champions League semi-final between Tottenham and Ajax was a relatively open and attacking game

Ah the auld Legal advice excuse being trotted out again. I do often wonder if there was ever any legal advice given or is it just trotted out in the hope that whoever is questioning them fucks off when they hear its going legal.

The poor lad probably wasn’t suppose to win the car and something went wrong with the draw. :slight_smile:

Can he not take cash instead?

There’s probably no car to be won

A dinky car maybe

We’ve had plenty of credit union types on saying yes. Apparently Cavan credit union do have it in their small print that you can’t take cash.

Most CU’s do one of these draws every month. It’s sponsored by a local dealer. So they’ll buy twelve cars off him worth for example €20k each for say €18k each and the free advertising the car dealer gets (plus the bulk sale). So they wouldn’t offer a cash value, not that any of that means the chap isn’t entitled to his car.

A surprisingly high proportion of the winners are CU employees.

As are their family members.

In 2017 Rush Credit Union in north Dublin was closed, after the Central Bank was unable to track down winners of 15 car draws, involving an outlay of € 220,860, between November 2012 and April 2016, while earlier this year a report from the Central Bank found that - credit union staff won prizes in 30 per cent of the credit unions who ran such draws over a three year period.

To be honest the show finished as a bit of an anti-climax because they had to go back after the mister moonlight verdict came in.

The Credit Union’s mistake was to not have fake winners of their “competitions” like Leo Sherlock’s “theliberal.ie”.
