This morning.
Brian O’Donnell leaves Gorse Hill, Killiney, Co Dublin following the defeat of his final legal challenge against eviction yesterday.

Update:
Mr O’Donnell at the the Bank of Ireland AGM at UCD’s Reilly Hall, to ceremoniously hand back the keys to Gorse Hill to BOI’s top brass Richie Boucher (above left) and Archie Kane (right).
Fair play, in fairness.

….great headline!
Poor lad.. can’t even afford a new model Jag. How has it come to this?
You mean the rebranded Mondeo? It’s a sad state of affairs. He’ll bounce back though, I know it.
It has nothing to do with the mondeo.
Eh? I thought the X-type was based on the Ford Mondeo platform – this was when Ford owned Jaguar and wanted common development platforms across brands to reduce costs.
That’s an XJ.
No – that’s an X-type.

Kind of fitting that Jerry Beades would drive a fake Jag.
Why is Jerry Beads driving him around in a UK registered vehicle? Has he paid his VRT??
I’m sure he has paid it; He’s obsessively careful about that kind of thing. They don’t call him “Anal Beades” for nothing.
You must draw this
A sad day for the common man. :-)
Hope Blaise is okay.
Go to her Bertie.
Blaise a trail, if you will…
I will just as soon as I collect my “An Officer and a Gentleman” costume from the dry cleaners.
I’ve also rented a Princess Leia outfit…you know the one..
I’ve offered her a bed for the night. Breakfast too, if she’s lucky
RTE reporting he threw his keys at AIB chair at the AGM:

This isn’t over yet.
It’s BOI.
fair play to him though.
so it is – speed reading!
He should have waited until the AGM was in full swing for maximum drama.
Good luck to them.
He looked like a confused caretaker leaving the keys on Boucher’s desk before the AGM started – after all the gate drama & Vinnie Brown hilarity -they should have been booted out of that house years ago.
70mill in overdrawn egos!
For people who’ve been moaning about the unwanted media attention, that was an odd little publicity stunt to pull. Methinks the O’Donnells are loving the attention.
100% Now talking about going to the European Courts of Human Rights. Poor attention seeking poverty stricken souls.
Luckily, the ECHR throws out most cases at committee stage, at great cost of time and expense to the applicant. Hurrah for justice!
They used the house as a holiday home.
He’s a bit of a bollocks or whatever, but to be fair, following him into the bank for that snap is a pretty crappy thing to do.
That’s what he wanted.
I hope the McVerry Trust have been in contact about emergency accommodation. There but for the grace of jaysus go us all.
hahaha a help up not a hand out
So if he pays back the 70+ million he owes BOI can he stay in the house?
Sure. Are you starting a dig-out? Here’s a half crown to get you started.
hope the stuff removed from the house was not in the store-it fire near the m50
What will poor Blakey do now, get a job?
wait, these keys don’t work!!! the locks have been changed now a Isle of Man shell company called Vico own the house.
He is loving the spot light it would appear.
The clock is ticking on his 15 minutes. Bet he’s wishing he became a celebrity chef rather than a dowdy ole solicitor. Or lawyer as Blakey would have it. He could court the meeja gangbusters and claim it was good for business.
“We’ve been in court 82 times and we have lost 82 times, statistically impossible, we’re appealing to the ECHR.”
Fupp him, and fupp everyone who supports him.
