It’s a blummin’ circus and no mistake.
Gorse Hill, Killiney, Co Dublin this evening featuring, on the doorstep above: bemused Husky/Alaskan Malmute, Dr Mary Patricia O’Donnell and New Land League member John Martin.

Update:
Biblical.
Receivers theatrically nailing the repossession [by Bank of Ireland] court order to the front gate of Gorse Hill tonight.
Could have lobbed it over, in fairness.

Time to drag them out and change the locks.
But be nice to the dog
Aye, that hound is immensely photogenic
Hollywood Handsome.
Poor fella’s wearing one of those perimeter shock collars; it’s dumb tech, so put it on the lazy prick owner when he’s outside the boundary and he’ll soon be conditioned to stay out…
Our neighbour’s dog learned to go near the wire where it would start beeping to warn the dog it would be shocked if it went further, wait for the beeping to run the battery down, then go off out for the day’s adventures.
That’s brilliant.
Well deserved. The rent-seekers have had their time in the sun … now, FOff …
Sheriff will take possession with help of the police. Just like the 1840s.
Were there a lot of rich landowners being turfed out of their seaside palaces in the 1840’s? Was that revolution overlooked by history because of the famine or what? Kindly inform us.
Yeah, it’s EXACTLY like the 1840s. Well said.
It’s a little known fact that it was the loss of the tennis courts and swimming pool which drove many emigrants out of the country in the 1840s.
also, there was a state-run food scheme, known as ‘peel’s tuscany three-bean salad’.
Well it is sorta like the 1840s as it was the police back then too, the Garda didn’t come into existence until 65 years later.
At leas the clown got that bit right.
But we’ll all be eating popcorn, just like 1840s.
FOff rent seekers!
Tomorrow pics of them in their nighties on the doorstep
Sherriff and gardai will enter property, there’ll be a 15-minute chat, Land League will throw shapes, there’ll be genuine tears, the O’Donnells will drive out in the back of a VW Bora, they won’t speak to press. Jerry Beades will do that for them. The O’Donnells will try to get back on their feet and make plans for the future after their bankruptcy discharge in 2017. They’re not disgraced, they’re not figures of hate despite what INM may try to say, they’re decent people, 1,000s are in the same boat, 100,000s of thousands are in a smaller version of their boat, they’ll recover but today and the next few days will be difficult, good luck to them. But the house is gone, and will become someone else’s dream.
I’m greatly amused by the way you’ve toned down your usual bile in this case. Do you know the family well?
Sure I could huck up some bile specially for you. Who or what are you again?
Soundings , I suggest you trot your unctuous , parochial self off to Killiney and swot up on the definition of “decent”.
Soundings idea of decent is Rebekah Books. Need I say more.
Look up the word “chancers ” while your at it.
+1
From this and comments on previous threads, it would appear so.
Hang on, 100,000s of thousands have boats? As in, hundreds of millions of people? All in dinghies? What mad exodus is this?
All in lifeboats and in fairly choppy waters. But fair cop, *100,000s only*
Dyslexia. “Boots”.
Never forget. Where you’re coming from.
Never.
Pretend that it’s all real.
1000’s of people ran up debts of nearly a billion ?
Oh, so they were lying when they said recently in an application for bankruptcy that London was their primary place of dwelling?
Exactly! A “family home” owned by a discretionary trust- funny that one. the “Land League” looks ridiculous protecting this “family home”.
Smithers, release the hounds
Or the bees,
Or the hounds with bees in their mouths so when they bark they shoot bees at you?
Go ahead, do your worse!!!!!
A dancing Richard Simmons?
Family meeting in the TV room in 20.
Which TV room???
We’ve got 18 feckin TV rooms..
Vico Road problems.
The one in the west wing.. it takes 20 mins to get there
And not a license to be seen anywhere.
I hope they’re served with an invoice for water charges for the few days they spent in the house
How much did the bank make them borrow?
First probing comment yet in this entire sorry debacle. Not many know that Brian and Mary Pat originally had their eyes on a fixer-upper in Drumcondra. Not a modest abode by any means – 4 bedrooms, semi-detached, room to extend. They had their 10% together and we’re truly hoping that the bank would be so.good.as to extend them a loan for the other €480,000. Imagine their surprise when the bank pushed a cheque for €75 million in their direction, and refused to let them out the door until they agreed. Interest-free for 7 years, no less. What else could they have done? So, I ask you, who are the real victims?
:-)
Turn it into a halting site!!!
How may social housing units could it be turned into? Imagine all the kids that could have a pool, a tennis court and a beach to go to.

Ermagod, no way, turning it into Lynx soup with skanger croutons. What the blaises. Think of the Daft price index.
Nah. The locals would only get it designated as a Special Protection Area – like they tried to do with Dalkey Quarry in the 90s to keep the travellin’ folk out.
great news kick them out!!
Any chance the sons and daughters that are working will pay back the 10K a month free rent they’ve had for past 5 years.
I imagine an oul accidental fire burning the place to the ground would piss the bank off
looks like a shock collar on the dog, not a nice thing to do
Nailing an order to the door? Who do they think they are, Martin Luther in Wittenberg?
Tempted to go round the local branch of Bank of Ireland and nail a withering letter to their door, and it’s glass.
UOMe social charge 4ever
You might cut yourself, better to wrap it around a power ball and fire it into the BOI boardroom at the next Court meeting. Less injurious. Plus, who doesn’t love a power ball?
Beautiful dog
And the only thing behaving with any dignity. Murky little affair that reflects badly on the O’Donnells, Bank of Ireland and the entire court system.
(And the media too – Broadsheet included. Probably covered this enough by now.)
He’s licked his own balls in public, same as the rest.
Don’t be so judgemental – like you haven’t at least tried to lick your own balls, albeit in the dignified privacy of your own home.
Would make an even more beautiful coat.
great news. when the vulnerable always suffer the elite must lose what they cant afford to keep
The reality is that the taxpayer has underwritten the Bank of Ireland
and baled them out by way of USC, LPT and now Water Tax, and
no Banker is in jail, yet RTW protestors are, the media circus outside
the gate is only a diversion, why don’t they cover the water meter
protestors with the same intensity as they oppose the fitting of
water meters, or the recent junkets now being organised by the Banks
Golf balls are back in fashion….indeed we should have live broadcast of
the next BOI AGM after all ,we are shareholders in more ways than one.
Who exactly advanced all this money in the first place in the BOI are they
still there…..?
The faster they get these moochers out of the house, the faster they can sell it and earn some money to pay the taxpayer back.
Btw – how much of a superstar solicitor must he have been if he has to get the Land Loonies in to fight his battles?!
Yeah, thought that too. Roll back a few years and ex-William Fry Partner Brian O’Donnell would have been giggling his tits off at their freeman of the land-esque s**e. It’s either beautiful irony that this is what he’s now reduced to or cruel cynicism on his part.
Any money that banks gain from repossessions are not going back to the state!!!
Well, 14% is, if it’s Bank of Ireland that’s doing the repossessing.
Sorry, but who the fupp names their children Alexandra, Blaise, Blake and Bruce.
Not quite an ABBA tribute band
Sb desperate to convince themselves of their own delusion … sniff …
We’ll have landing craft from the sea with the sheriffs men next.

Judge told one of the O’Donnell boys yesterday “we can either do this the easy way or the hard way”. And looks like it will be the hard way, but would be shocked if O’Donnells haven’t been evicted by start of next week.
That’s pretty selective quoting there. The judge was talking about contacting your mates the O’Donnell’s, not about the eviction. From Kathy Sheridan in the Irish Times:
“At this point, Ferriter, keen to claim the property for his client, rose and suggested that Blake go out and contact his parents “immediately”.
“That is entirely inappropriate . . . a bit ridiculous,” replied Blake in non-courtly language, one hand in pocket. At least he was standing up.
If Ferriter wanted to communicate with his parents, then he should go out and do it himself. The judge had had enough. “We can do this the easy way. What is the difficulty of contacting your parents? Somebody has to do it and I would suggest that this is the most practical way”.
And so ended the mini-mutiny in Court 1 as the son did what he was told and went out to phone his father, to inform him that he was a trespasser in what was once the family home. “
Soundings you sound like a terrible bore, impressed by the obvious.
Set free the hounds!
