The Regulator (state employee) v Sean Quinn (bankrupt businessman) + Anglo Irish (state bankrupt ban

@mickee321

agreed.
That tramp of an MP also sums up what an absolutle two faced shower of shits that Sinn Fein are.
if the so called plain people of ireland like Farmer and Appendage are gullaible to the promises and follow blindly the direction of the GGA and Catholic church than the stupidity of the so called republican socialists following a crowd like Sinn Fein who in this case are openly supporting a criminal ( suprise , suprise ) is laughable,
This is a typical Sinn Fein stance where as a party they can choose which Ireland they represent, thus endorsing partition, Here, this yoke of an MP is choosing to be what she is, a British citizen from Northern ireland, to support a man who she sees has done nothing wrong in her country, while her colleagues south of the border are campaigning to put people like this in prison,

Wtf? Fuck off back to whatever hovel you crawled out of.

I don’t see how high profile GAA managers/ex players attending a march is the GAA supporting this gangster. FFS sake. The GAA doesn’t comment on political matters as far as I know. I suppose this is not a political matter. In any case, fuck off.

I think the mud slinging directed to people who live in the region is a bit much. At the end of the day the reason the state is in the mess it is in is not because of the people in the border regions but the people of the state as a whole. Time after time after time the electorate has chose to elect the same centre right government who have befriended business and under regulated financial industry. While Quinn has clearly been foolish and appears to be deliberately misrepresenting the troubles he is in, it is a bit rich to have all this outcry about support for him when in all likelihood when next election comes either FG or FF will lead next government with a Labour Party that long since sold out. This is a bigger issue than support for Quinn but one that is largely ignored. It was and is the responsibility of government to change things and by electing same group over little will change. What is done at the ballot box has caused far more harm to the state than any march in support of Quinn however misguided.

It’s hard to articulate just how disappointing that post is and how much I disagree with it. GV Wright, the Flynns, the Healy-Raes, Burke, Lowry etc are all utterly irrelevant to this matter. As is Labour’s horrible softening. This is about Sean Quinn believing he has a right to break rules so he can look after his family and about how a disgustingly large percentage of the population seem to accept that on the grounds that he’s a local man made good who created lots of employment - now completely unsustainable unless underwritten by the rest of the country.

There are no grounds for accepting what Quinn did as in any way palatable or acceptable. There is no acceptable or tolerable level of hiving away assets to protect the wealth of his family at everyone else’s mistake. He was grossly negligent with his approach to insurance and came up with every conceivable mechanism to rip off the Irish taxpayer and create insurance contracts with no sustainable or prudent financial backing. He has cost this country millions of pounds through sheer greed and every drop of energy spent trying to retrieve that money and trying to hold him responsible for that cost is energy very well spent.

The GAA may not directly support him because that’s not how they work but it’s impossible to remove the GAA from the relevance of those high profile personalities marching together or to consider that they might be supporting him because he’s a GAA supporter. It doesn’t mean they represent everyone in the organisation but it does reflect badly on them when you see the lads marching together in solidarity for Quinn. The message that the GAA is behind him (whether they have a right to broadcast that message themselves or not) is clear.

Vinny having a right at him now on TV3. Quinn keeps throwing out the same defences and Vinny not too happy.

[Scrunchie]

If Quinn’s idea of doing this interview is to appeal to the Irish people, two minutes in, he is coming across as totally deluded.

[Sidney]

Sean Quinn is 100% transparent.

Is Quinn on VB tonight? I may have to try and watch it somehow if so.

The whole thing makes my blood boil.

Quinn’s while attitude to insurance is unbelievably reckless. He reckons they were fine because claims were reducing. He had no reserves and no solvency. Reducing claims isn’t how to fix an insurance company.

As in you’re angry at the carry on of Quinn et al or the harranging (sp) of a decent family?

[tazdedub]

Quinn talking a load of bollox, Vinny doesn’t look happy:)

[Rocko]

Quinn thinks the generous redundancy proved how profitable they were.

[Bandage]

Haranguing.

[Bisto]

Quinn is a babbling mess…coming out with utter garbage and Browne is catching him out on everything…

[Bisto]

“the media down in Dublin”… :lol: :lol:

@Bandage

Thanks. I think the Quinns are awful cunts.

This is nothing to do with me, it’s to do with the company

I think we can see now why Vinny gave the dragons such an easy ride the other night

[Sidney]

I can just see Sean and his sons queueing up to collect their dole money alright. Simple men through and through.
