"Ha ha I like it
The DJ would be scratching like a Cat on the wheels of steel! "I have to say, it's funny how the "mainstream media" have so easily distracted so many with this story! I'd go as far as to say the main protagonist is very happy too, as its a nothing story. Especially considering the bigger story will probably see him get jailed! | |||

"Eh, this was not an isolated event, there were many well-connected people who got massive write-downs, it's not news, simply a way for the media to keep hounding someone in subversion of the order preventing them being named elsewhere - shoddy and dubious practice at best." I'm of two minds about this tbh. Yes, I understand what you're saying and don't disagree entirely. However, after the crash many small businesses were hounded by AIB over debts that were a small fraction of the debt in this case. I number myself among them. When the shit hit the fan and cash flow just disappeared they refused to even renegotiate the monthly payments on a very small term loan that I had been forced to take out when they decided to cancel my overdraft. . A close friend of mine who was being chased for money that he didn't have at the time eventually decided to go down the route of personal insolvency but AIB objected as he owed them over €100k at the time. He committed suicide soon after as he couldn't deal with the constant pressure from AIB in particular. Another friend had bought an investment property that ended up in negative equity and they struggled with repayments when it switched from interest only payments to interest and capital repayments. A property advisor advised them that in two years time they'd be back at break even as the prices were starting to rise. AIB forced them to sell at the time despite this, and then took legal action to get the €25k that was outstanding. If at the same time they were offering debt reduction of that scale to some, but nothing at all to others, I personally want to hear why or how they made the decisions. I can understand the debt write downs in relation to construction firms that were trying to get up and running again and make a valuable contribution to the national economy but DJ didn't fall into that category. | |||

"The "donors" in the "bigger story" mostly have only themselves to blame for being blinded by sports stardom. AIB on the other hand, as a state controlled bank, have the taxpayers of Ireland to answer to. The main stream media have a moral obligation to keep us informed. Less ass licking, of those with power, and more ass kicking, of those who do wrong, is what's required to discourage corruption in all areas of society. "Call it out to stamp it out" Well done main stream media. | |||

Yes, totally agree with that. AIB weren't a normal bank though. They were state owned. This puts them into an entirely different category from normal commercial banks. | |||

There is a distinction to be made between what commercial banks do, such as Ulster Bank in the above case, and what a state owned bank like AIB does. They are entirely different enterprises and answer to entirely different people. | |||

He's not really being portrayed as one in this case. The bank is. | |||
