    Jesus, bit of a Catch-22 for these people.

    Lose your home or Keep your home in Limerick.

      So the court’s job is to enforce the rule of criminal bankers who have already recovered the value of the loans through bailout and securitisation?

      1. Rowsdower

        The criminal actions of the bankers don’t negate the obligation of a mortgage.

        Unless these people can prove that there were elements of the mortgage that were fraudulent on the banks behave, they’ll just have to suck it up.

          Who bailed out these bankers? How many times do they expect to be paid back?

          1. Rowsdower

            If you wrote off all these mortgages; which is what you seem to be suggesting, then we’d have to bail out the banks again.

            What do you want to happen here?

          2. Zuppy International

            Now you’re spouting bankster nonsense.

            Bailout the people. F**k the banks.

            You’re right, of course. We should all give thanks for our perpetual slavery to the banking overlords. Let them take our money, our homes, our land, our resources and our children, and then let them charge us for their up keep.

            The people are morons and can only be treated as such. Resentment, contempt, lies and deceit are all we deserve.

    200 cases at once. There’s the contempt for Irish people right there. Do you think you could get justice in that situation? Sure, let’s equate the justice system’s response to losing your home with a speeding fine. Well done Fine Gael. Well done Labour. Keep looking the other way.

      The courts are very lenient about ordering repossessions.

      Here’s some numbers:

      9th May: 126 repossession cases, 11 reposessions ordered.
      6th March: 219 cases, 2 repossessions ordered.

      Both sets from Limerick court.

      1. scottser

        the courts have to go through due process and they have in fairness been very quick to spot cases where the banks haven’t gone far enough to work with folks in arrears. in some cases they’ve refused to deal with PIPs and MABS even. there’s a good chance most of those 200 cases will get lengthy stays of execution.

  3. Domestos

    The people want no repossessions, low rents and affordable housing. Oh wait, and tax cuts and front line services.

  4. Clampers Outside!

    200 is a number.

    So is 5, 92, 54.3 and 33 and 1/3.

    And all meaningless unless there is something to compare them to. Some perspective would be nice, thanks. But unfortunately perspective doesn’t make headlines.

      How many homes were *actually* repossessed? Less than a handful, I’d say.

      You have to not have been paying your mortgage for YEARS and refused all negotiation with the banks for you to lose your home these days.

      But no – don’t pay your mortgage, moan about variable rates going up, moan about bank fees, want all the bailout money to be repaid by the state and refuse to see how any of these could possibly be linked.

      Because banksters, Joe.
