What a nauseating hypocrite

https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/bono-urges-crowd-to-dig-deep-for-the-homeless-as-he-leads-christmas-eve-busk-in-d

How any one would stop and listen to him is beyond me.

Like every body else I am paying a mortgage! I little sympathy for person in question, u know the terms when u sign it up! Very little said about the utter sc**bag who took an axe to a dog! He the real degenerate here!!

Then we have people who care more for the treatment of a dog over a person. Do you think the dog was a family pet the "security" team had with them or a trained guard dog ready to rip a trespasser apart?

It wouldn't be Christmas without Itchy and his classic terrible takes.

Not tonight lad

2 arrested.

And released without charge and no longer suspects.

Is it not apparent to everyone that none of these proposals - least of all the handpass restriction - are going to discourage packing defences? Quite the opposite.

Nope. I think 3 handpass rule, while a bit crude, will encourage teams to push up on the opposition and force them into a mistake.

You haven't a clue then

Fantastic comment. You really showed me. If only I knew as much about football as you, I can only dream.

I gave a reply on the last page why I think it won't happen as you hope for the vast majority of teams....it's similar to Dublins brilliant, effective tactic of keep ball at the end of games, it look horrible but even last 5 mins losing teams who needed to get the ball back were afraid to push up and lose structure...I can't see that changing and structure will still outweigh the opportunity of a turnover.....I think anyway

I disagree. It's relatively easy to maintain possession using handpasses even when under pressure. A kick pass under pressure is more likely to go astray in my opinion so I think some coaches will opt to push up harder, dispossesing the opposition close to their own goals. The big problem is the coach guru who try make football sound more complicated than it really is. They don't like change. In fact have you ever seen a sport where change is resisted so much.

I don't think anyone doesn't apportion some blame to the banks/lenders but to go back to the famine times is daft, yes the process is the same, can't pay up eviction notice given, but this  guy is completely different, 800,000K over 9 years was it?

Ones being evicted won't die in a matter of months like they did during the famine, they could be re housed in s council estate after a period of time

There is a huge shortage of housing, that's the issue and the central argument of the article I pasted in

Sorry Trailer but during the famine Irish people had lease agreements with their landlords. If they couldn't pay as per terms of the agreement they were put out. Sure no one forced them to sign up. It was perfectly legal for them to be put out on the side of the road by force.

I used to get letters in the post with pre approved loans up to 50k without ever asking for money. Ever gobshite thought they were a big shot property developer. The government and banks conned people into this and now they want the same people fucked out on the side of the road.

Can't they just follow a drone to see where it lands and who collects it. Hardly rocket science!

There's a reason you're confused about what happened in Strokestown, Co Roscommon, this week. And it's not because you're stupid.

The reason you can't really figure out what happened with the eviction situation up there, and the reason you aren't too sure "who to blame", is because the Government employed the oldest trick in the book: Divide and distract.


It's what politicians do when they're up that faeces-laden creek without a paddle. They start slinging the mud, hoping it will stick in various places, distracting you, the citizen, from the real issue at hand.

As you scrolled on your phone, queuing patiently to pay for your Christmas shopping, you may have read about a dog getting shot. Driving home from work in that heavy traffic, you could have heard about the evicted farmer, who had been informed about the repossession of his property seven times — thanks to unusually generous leaks to the media. And you also could have heard words such as "dissidents" and "thugs".

And then there was the almighty row in the Dáil between the boys in blue on the right, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar flanked by Health Minister Simon Harris, and the boy in green on the left, Sinn Féin's Pearse Doherty.

Mr Varadkar's now famous line to Mr Doherty, "it doesn't take very long for your balaclava to slip", was akin to striking a match to an oil field. It was all you could see, hear, and talk about, commanding metres in column inches and gigahertz in radio waves.

Division complete. Distraction on course. Job pretty much done.

Except it's far, far from done.

Here are some facts — courtesy of the Central Bank of Ireland.

There are 29,000 homes in arrears in Ireland. We are not talking a missed payment here and there. We are talking 29,000 residential mortgages that have "accumulated at least two years worth of missed payments".

OK, so 29,000 homeowners not paying their mortgage, no big deal?

Well, let's ignore the spin and the headlines again, and once more rely on the Central Bank of Ireland for some clarity here.

It is estimated that half of those 29,000 will be repossessed. So all that furore up in Roscommon, all the moving parts of that story, the schoolboy debating in the Dáil, the row over who and who isn't explicitly condemning violence, is, you could say, perhaps a distraction from the real issue here.

This isn't just about one eviction in Roscommon, this is about another 15,000 evictions coming down the line.

The alarm bells have been ringing on this for some time.


Reading between lines on our history
"Over half of the cases progressing to long-term arrears [those 29,000 homes] are classified as involving the potential for loss of ownership outcomes," said the Central Bank in its quarterly bulletin on April 10, 2018.

"It is important to understand that loss of ownership may take place in two main ways for PDH [(private dwelling homes] accounts: Voluntary or enforcement."

So far in Ireland, over two-thirds of "loss of ownership" have come about voluntarily, and one-third through repossessions, as we saw in Roscommon last week.

Some more facts: 17% of all long-term mortgage arrears are held by unregulated loan owners, those so-called vulture funds. And God only knows how they will go about getting men, women, and children out from under their roofs.

If these soon-to-be-repossessed 15,000 homes go down the Roscommon route of forced eviction, who is and who isn't condemning violence will be the least of our country's worries.

There are already 10,000 people in homelessness in Ireland. If at least two people live in each of those 15,000 soon-to-be-repossessed properties, does that mean we will see another 30,000 of our citizens being declared as homeless?

It is estimated by some that there may even be three people in each of those homes — not to be alarmist but does that mean another 45,000 people out on the streets or in hubs?

If we already have 10,000 homeless and, worst-case scenario, we add 45,000 others to that, we are looking at being a modern democratic English-speaking first-world country with a homeless population of 55,000 people.

How did we ever end up here?

Eviction, as a solution, does not work. We were telling the English this 160 years ago and now we can't even tell it to ourselves in 2018.

Repossessions lead to homelessness. Homelessness leads to people relying on the State for help. We are the State. What can we do?

We absolutely must make social and affordable housing our country's most important priority, not just in 2019, but for years to come. Our politicians must stop relying on private and accidental landlords to solve the housing crisis.

We must look at long-term tenancies in the form of public housing as a way to live in this State.

We are a most caring nation. But we are a caring nation that has become jaundiced into action-less apathy after years and years of increasing homelessness.

No citizen on this land is comfortable walking past a homeless person on the street.

But underneath that apathy is anger, and that can be turned into action. There are solutions. Approximately three in five people in Austria's capital of Vienna, rich and poor, live in public housing provided and managed entirely by the city.

The solutions are there. We don't need spin and we don't need politicians to be point-scoring in the Dáil.

We need creative thinking, mature politicians, political will, and a return to our country's core values, where no one gets left behind.

Listen, if you're not paying your mortgage, sad as your circumstances might be, you're going to be evicted. This should not be a surprise and taping it onto some Anti English planter bullshot argument is classic distraction and diversion. This has got to do with paying your bills.
The rental economy is through the roof. Young people can't get on the housing ladder. Maybe if those houses were repossessed it would free up some stock for people who could make a home, start a family and build a life.

I'm sure every English landlord in the famine said the same. Wise the f**k up.

Oh I know it's a genuine issue but I think it's just a matter of suppliers changing their portals. Can't see it being the end of mags. Infomir would be as well to close their business instead of going down this road.

Great catch-up service now on Root which I don't think works on SmartIPTV?

Bad news for those with Mag boxes, this was posted on Root Facebook the other day, not by themselves but by a 3rd party but they confirmed they knew about it

Infomir who produce official mag boxes have started blocking Service providers.
WE are NOT YET on the BLOCK LIST.
However. Its only a matter of TIME. Stay away from magboxes. Stick to Android / use STB EMU it is only on official MAG BOXES where this way of blocking is possible. We can provide new DNS our end but if they start blocking IP's its going to become CAT & MOUSE.

Just stay away from mags. If you have a mag already... be prepared that at some point we may be added to the list.
Just putting it out there as a warning, so it does not come as a shock.

I'm pretty sure that stuff about mags is bullshit

There were once people who took the soup, then there were castle catholics and I'm convinced their offspring are those that go around justifying the brutal removal of Irish men from their houses by a bunch of thug Loyalist Grippers.
