A parody Ian Paisley account has tweeted in support of them, its obvious that they’re paras mate.

I’m only rehashing what I’ve been told. I’d imagine that the term “local” could describe businesses within a 30 mile radius.
There was probably a Shell to Sea like rent a mob there also

This from the Independent
The farmer at the centre of the eviction is not suspected of any wrongdoing in relation to the violent incident at his former home.
He has financial difficulties which stretch back almost a decade and include a more than €400,000 settlement secured by the Revenue Commissioners against him in 2015 for the under-declaration of VAT.
Land Registry records for the Falsk property also show that more than €18,000 was secured in a judgment in December 2008, which was subsequently registered against his property. That judgment was obtained by a local company which operated a quarry at the time.
In 2015, Revenue secured a settlement totalling €429,501 against the evicted man as a tax defaulter for the under declaration of VAT. It included €177,000 in tax owed, almost €75,000 in interest, and more than €177,000 in penalties.
In January this year, a judgment mortgage was secured against the man in the Midland Circuit Court by Cabot Asset Purchases (Ireland).
In 2004, the farmer had secured a mortgage from IIB Homeloans, the Belgian-owned lender that rebranded as KBC in 2009. In 2017, it emerged KBC Bank Ireland sold a chunk of loans to credit-servicing and debt-collection firm Cabot Financial Ireland, a unit of the US-based Cabot group.
Great that Rocko is showing TFK’s support of the local efforts by changing the scheme colour to Roscommon’s yellow and blue
Fair play to the locals involved. Loyalists mobs enforcing evictions in the south and Leo only comments when the community hit back.

I made an error there. I meant to say councillor. And when I said local I meant my local councillor in Offaly I’ll have to pull my posting socks up
Are you aware of the history of Strokestown ?
Well done Roscommon. Pity they didn’t kneecap the cunts before they beat them up.

This guy stung a local quarry for €18K. That sort of money can sink some businesses. He got away with leaving a debt with a neighbouring business that employed people he might know.
Then he runs up a tax bill of €140K and ends up paying the maximum penalty 100% a fine that big is indicative of no effort to engage with Revenue, and the original fine is a percentage of what I would think is a decent turnover.
Now he’s gambled the home of his siblings with a Belgian bank whose main shareholders include the Flemish Farmers Union. This is the end of a very long process and is not something that financial institutions do unless they’ve run out of road with very unreasonable people. I’m sure his neighbours are doing this for the best possible reasons, but if they want to help him an his family, they they should put their hands in their pockets and give him a dig out. Maybe he’s burned his bridges there too…
Cabot are foolish to think that they’re going to get a buyer for property in this remote corner of Ireland, land values for that place are among the lowest in the country. I pass through Strokestown every summer on the way to West Mayo and it’s a place that is suffering from a severe lack of investment and is a gloomy place of dereliction. It’s still got a ghost estate on it’s outskirts, the only one I’ve seen since the bad old days of 2011…

That sort of reasoning doesn’t wash with rent a mobs. This lad obviously had a neck like a jockeys bollix and it’s difficult to have much sympathy for him

I’m expecting Ben Gimproy, Beades and the other anarchists down there with their geansaí buí any minute to milk it and feed the groundlings that follow them.
If that fella and people like him paid his taxes the Northen Bouncers might have been treated at Roscommon General hospital rather than Sligo and mullingar. And I know it was sending the worst possible crew in to secure the property, but you will not get anyone from anywhere in Ireland to do that job thanks to the anti-pay-for-anything people nowadays.
No doubt they will play the elderly people card. This guy is less than 10 years older than me, I don’t regard myself as being anywhere near elderly. It’s his siblings who have suffered the most here…

Is it true this is one of five properties he has - and that he only moved back in after the judgement to try and claim it as a primary residence?
The men that dished out the beatings should all be given medals.

Fantastic victory alright.
We will continue to have the highest rates of interest in Europe and limited market competition until they have been victorious and chased the hun from our fair green isle…
