It always has to be insidious doesnt it ::)
If you listened to some people nobody would ever do anything except to stick it to the other side.

Most of the people who have money in this sort of thing would be the usual people with some small savings, probably a good few elderly people and the like too.
The gloating because you think these peoples motivation was to keep the catholics down is tragic, and if reciprocated by the other side would of course be used as proof of their bigotry.

Sorry NI fan that doesn't wash my son, any one I know that have money in this are property developers/contractors who have went bust, yes there is probably people who have saving in this but I can bet you they knnew what there savings were been used for.

Presumably because it's a society and not a bank. The clue being in the name.

Don't think they would have had to turn too many Catholic's away.
There are no proofs, only opinions.

A lot of people stuck their money in here as they were given an excellent rate of return on their savings and were able to get mortgages that didn't cripple them til the day the went to the grave. I know people who will lose money if they go bust - this money is their long-term savings as well as short-term savings needed to pay suppliers etc. so they'll be out of pocket twice.

I am aware there is an organisation that wants to buy up lands from Catholics but I'd say they are closely affiliated with the OO rather than the PMS.

Probably a safe enough assumption!

Why would any Catholic choose to deposit money in a specifically Protestant institution when there are numerous secular banks and credit unions?
Although i'm sure if there was a Catholic Mutual Society, we'd have the same number of people in trouble now if it went to the wall.

SidelineKick

Catholics - ma-her-a / ma-her-a-felt

Prods - mack-er-a / mack-er-a-felt

PMS paid handsome dividends from their property investments in the recent past and the membership lapped it up. They got greedy and put all of their eggs in the one property basket. That's tough sh*t IMO.

I know prods that say "haitch" and catholics that say "aitch". What are we to do about them?!

I've never heard anyone say Mack-er-a! Is this a myth?!
