Leaving aside your lame effort to turn this into a disabled gag threadâŚ
-Theyâve been taking your manâs 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 couldnât drive it
-Something else about not letting disabled people gambleâŚ
Iâd say one of 2 things is happening right now.
Either, Whoever said âtell this and say it was on legal adviceâŚâ 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.
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 wasnât suppose to win the car and something went wrong with the draw.
Most CUâs do one of these draws every month. Itâs sponsored by a local dealer. So theyâll buy twelve cars off him worth for example âŹ20k each for say âŹ18k each and the free advertising the car dealer gets (plus the bulk sale). So they wouldnât offer a cash value, not that any of that means the chap isnât entitled to his car.
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.
