Revenue now need to establish the amounts of income Carey generated with his grifts and back taxes and penalties should be applied
It was income upon which he evaded paying tax on
Have the trial ready in advance of his current prison term ending and he should be good for another 3 years
Yeah, I think I heard that also.
I’d say the floodgates opened once word got out that he had been conning people out of money.
And to think some view the banks as the bad guys/goys in the country
It seems to me that Carey was a seasoned pro at all of this stuff, and got a kick out of it.
Look at the difficulty we’ve had building houses since the banks were reined it. Back when we were a proper county any fella with a pair of yellow boots could build an estate
I’d say he spiralled a bit and became half addicted to it
Back in my day the bank manager was the pillar of local society and not to be trifled with. Nowadays nobody knows who the bank manager is or even if there is one.
It’s pretty bad now. You go online to open an account and it tells you you’ve to go to the bank. You go to the bank and they tell you to go online.
Hard, nay impossible to pull off a bank robbery these days. They’ve no visible cash.
You want to give a Councillor €5k toward a ‘charity of his choice’ it takes more than 3 days to perform this fiscal transaction. Madness… No wonder the construction industry is moving at a snail’s pace. We used to be etc.,
Everyone knew the bank manager’s house; before that, the manager lived over the branch.
It’s practically impossible to get your own money out in cash.
I see Joe Brolly called out Ní Bhraonáin’s motives in writing this book and called her an opportunist. You’d have to agree with Joe’s take in this instance. It’s even more galling when you consider that she was years late to this. She hadn’t even heard about any shady dealings until 2022.
Revenue are pursuing him for just under €25.000.
That’s what happened Brian Crowley, the former MEP. His father was the bank manager and they lived over the bank. Part of the structure was a flat roof and young Crowley used to climb out the window and play on it. One day he fell off and paralyzed himself. I think it was an AIB bank.
DJ and Enoch would be grand auld cell mates. All Enochs money is either frozen or taken by the state so DJ woukdnt be able to fleece him.
Correct. AIB in Bandon I think.
25k - That’s for another matter surely?
The evaded income taxes and penalties due on his cash raking would be in the mid to high six figures
Let’s see what happens
It’s a shit book, I scanned it in easons the other day , it’s not displayed prominently and the writing is like a copy and paste from the Irish Independent
There’s nothing in it we didn’t already know and I echo your comments regarding how little she knew that lay beneath the surface
How much of what we know is from the book?
