There was no dole back then,they had no option other than to riot
But DJ wanted to have his cake and eat it.
Let them eat cake says AIB.
DJ was bold as brass here. Brave in fact. And AIB love backing Brave, as they say themselves.

There’s former sports players on the mainland on their 3rd or 4th bankruptcy
The system allows it now here too. Can’t get blood from a stone etc.
Not many who’ve claimed they had cancer and taken millions off friends and family to fund the lifestyle of an oligarch.
Politicians on the other hand.
That’s true and it’s appalling.
I was referring more to the loan write offs that are happening. The system was changed a few years ago to allow this very thing.
I know, and in its own way, it’s appalling. As I said before, the trouble with AIB is they weren’t playing with their own money, so they didn’t give a fuck.

The Revenue went after him I believe. First time for everything with the GGA.
@gilgamboa as I suspected RTE had this wrong.
The actual amount he got forgiveness on was €6.4m. This was after the properties the loans were secured on were sold.
