This is a post this fella puts on his forum. What he neglects to mention is that their APR is around 18 or 19% which is about 6 or 7% higher than other companies. Joker. Not fit to tie the bootlaces of askaboutmoney.com.
Edit - on this page, his calendar says that today is Tuesday
Lenihan is far and away the best politician in Fianna Fail. Anytime Iāve seen him he has handled himself very very well. Granted what he is saying could be a load of cock as far as I know, but he sounds convincing enough.
Worried for the first view minutes, looked like televised Liveline with the first lass asking for a bail out from the banks and then that other lad saying he bought a house he didnāt want. Idiot.
The pundits were good though and Kenny was excellent at moving the topic on.
OāToole and Dunphy were the standouts, Lenihan did well as he usually does, but I think the biggest impacy was definitely the call to arms from the two boyos earlier. Fintan made some excellent points.
Some eejit that lad with the Ronaldo comment wasā¦ one-liner and then had to back it up by explaining negative equity badly to everyone who knew what it was.

What class of a gobshite would go to this joker for advice?[/quote]
Ah heās gas.
He knew he was on tonight you think heād have gotten his dates in order.
He posted on the 19th September a statement from himself on NAMA, purportedly 2 days before the NAMA legislation was published but he got the maths wrong on his backdating and bizarrely claims it was ājust three days beforeā the anticpated speech.
I donāt know, he repeats the same phrases over and over again, granted he comes across as if he believes it, but he never scratches below the surface. He never gave a clear answer to OāTooleās point about the real reasons for bailing out anglo when they never lent to the SME or Personal markets anyway.
He said they had to bail out Anglo because otherwise it would have made it very difficult for them to borrow on the international markets. I donāt know why that would be the case though.
Lenihan got off lightly with Fintan OāTooleās questions at the end, was allowed to dodge them by Kenny.
To have Pat āUlster Bankā McArdle billed simply as āeconomistā just after the Princeton guy was very dodgy. These banking industry or former banking industry economists are no better than, probably worse, than the likes of Parlon and the IBF guy, at least we knew who they were representing. These guys are still billed in the media as āāexpertsāā despite their having zero credibility and their agenda is rarely if ever called into question. Jim Power and Dan McLoughlin in particluar are deserving of nothing but disdain but we still have to listen to them tell us whats what.:rolleyes:
They should be played clips from the likes of these two performances and made justify themselves before being allowed utter a word :D:
He wasnāt on long enough to get a proper grilling but hopefully it wonāt be his last appearance.
Good show though, Kenny obviously relishing getting back to what heās good at.

Christ that Jim Power guy is as bad as they get. Agreed on the agendas, these cunts should be made wear a sign around their neck explaining their vested interests before their āeconomicā analysis is given.
I thought Lenihan really gave another excellent account of himself. He hit OāTooleās call to arms like the people did in Iceland with the facts that Iceland are in a miuch worse situation than us (true).
The question on the pensions he handled very well also - they had to be paid to Fingleton et al or else the State could be sued.
Overall he is certainly a man who would inspire confidence and I believe that NAMA is as good of an option as there is to turn this country around.
Essential though to clear out the boards of the all the banks.
