Kildare winning the All Ireland snigger.
If that’s what they need to steady the financial ship, they might as well liquidate them now.
A well to do couple with an extensive property portfolio not bothering to pay the mortgage on their multi-million euro Killiney mansion for four years and comparing themselves to peasants evicted 160 years ago.
The comments on Broadsheet on this are fucking hilarious, utter cunting bleeding hearts wailing for them.
'Asta la vista.

Good to see Donal og and Cian Foley on that list.
I wonder did Haughey ever think it would come to this when he introduced the artitsts exemption
brian cody is quite the artist alright
autobiographies and ghost written biographies should be immediately stripped from the exemption list
Why? Because they don’t accord with your view of what art should be? There are autobiographies that are amongst the best books around. Stephen Frys’ for example.
I’m surprised Nicky English’s Beyond The Tunnel isn’t on the list. For a long time that was the best hurling book on the market.
not exactly high praise

Not sure how this works. A lady driving her son without insurance crashes her car due to “a momentary lapse in concentration”, putting her son in a wheelchair. She then get a 11.5 million euro payout.
I thought the whole idea of insurance was that you only got it if you paid for it. Why would anyone pay insurance if you get this kind of payout. Tragic incident for the child involved but seeing as it is those who do pay car insurance in the country who will be pitching in for this, it seems a very strange judgement.
It wasn’t a judgment tb it was a settlement.
It wasn’t paid by an insurance company it was paid by a fund designed to compensate victims of uninsured drivers.
It wasn’t paid to the uninsured driver. It was paid to the victim, her son.
That judgement should be under “Things that are right” - it’s heartening to see that there is a system in place to look after the victim of such a tragic case.
It seems the kids grandmother was effectively suing the mother and as she wasn’t insured, the fund picked up the tab. I do agree that victims of uninsured drivers should be compensated and this seems an effective way of doing it.
That being said, the book should be thrown at the mother …
This recent fashion of saying “that’s a real first world problem”
Good call Fagan.
Is that the mother on the right?
A good settlement for the kid but Ms Kennedy has a neck like a jockeys ballbag
Id have preferred she stayed away from the court and the media, for the sake of decency
The mother has fair balls (and boobies too) to step in for the photos alright.
I think a better solution would’ve been to agree a level of care for the rest of the boy’s life. The mother shouldn’t in anyway benefit from the cash.
The poor fools that pay their insurance will end up paying for this.
I remember hearing of this case before but I don’t recall if the mother got any punishment for a) driving without insurance and b) causing a catastrophic accident. I wonder what the momentary lack of concentration was.
