Could any of the ministers comment on the law – or lack of – that allows receivers in this country behave like criminals – breaking into peoples house, intimidating innocent victims of the mess the bankers created and leaving people homeless, broken, and as seen in recent cases suicidal!!

What kind of system allows the business people who have been the backbone of the enconomy, who created jobs and payed taxes now be treated as second class citizens with less rights than a criminal. This situation is getting out of control, and everybody, including the ministers are standing by doing nothing. It’s a national scandal that I’m sure we will all regret not doing something about in the future taxes

If I had to guess –and I will — I’d say that IBRC are suing Ernst and Young over the books in an effort to get out of paying money, but are essentially seeking to prevent John Moran from doing the same.

Since the Irish Legal system is a place where six impossible things are done before breakfast every morning, I anticipate they’ll probably succeed.

Just for the avoidance of doubt the IBRC/E&Y/Johnny Moran article was written by Donal O’Donovan of the Irish Independent, Donal Donovan, formerly of the IMF writes regularly on economics for the Irish Times.
