This lad sounds an awful lot like the Quinns in that he wants to be paid and compensated by the State for what might have been.

If you live by the sword, you die by the sword, he wants to make his private debts turn into public debt.

 

[Orbit v2]

Chancing his arm. In the US, when you lose a case, no matter how unlikely it was ever to succeed, you never have to pay the other sides costs, which makes this kind of speculative action very common.

The initial development of the scheme, with construction of foundations having begun in 2007 but halted in 2008, was bankrolled by Anglo Irish Bank to the tune of $69m (€59m). With interest, the amount owed later topped $90m (€77m).

As Ireland's economy went into free-fall and banks faced collapse, the loans were put up for sale by Nama.

According to Bloomberg the debt was sold for $40 million, so that's $53 million on the public debt.

He [Bruton] has acknowledged that he did provide some "pro bono" assistance to the firm [Point Capital Partners], in terms of helping to put it in touch with people in Ireland who may be able to assist

The merest wisp off the top of a white horse of the tsunami of hidden actions going on beneath.

'pro bono publico' means 'in the public good'.

So typical of Anglo to finance anything with the word "property" in it, no doubt Drumm is blamed and Fitzy knew nothing about, to busy with his own borrowings.

Finder's Fee

What is 'Finder's Fee'

A finder's fee is a commission paid to an intermediary or the facilitator of a transaction. The finder's fee is rewarded because the intermediary discovered the deal and brought it forth to interested parties. Depending on the circumstance, the finder's fee can be paid by either the transaction's buyer or seller.

Also known as "referral income" or "referral fee."


BREAKING DOWN 'Finder's Fee'

Often, the finder's fee may simply be a gift from one party to another, as no legal obligation to pay a commission exists. For example, let's examine a real estate transaction. Perhaps an individual is selling a property and a friend discovers a potential buyer. If the transaction goes through, the seller might give their friend a small percentage of the sale, as a reward for finding the purchaser.
How Finder’s Fees Can Encourage More Business

Finder’s fees may be used to reward business contacts who refer new sales and clients to a company. For instance, if a contact arranges a meeting between the buyer and seller of a business, they might receive a finder’s fee for arranging the deal.

In the United States, a finder's fee is the compensation given to an intermediary in a business transaction. Usually, there is a causal relationship between the one party and the intermediary (the finder), another relationship between the finder and the second party, and the two parties of the transaction would not have met if it were not for the work of the finder. Such compensation is common in business and is regulated by contractual agreements and law in the United States. A finder's fee can also be a gift from one party of the transaction, who feel morally obligated that the profits of the transaction be shared with the finder for making that transaction possible.

finders fee

If you wanted to purchase a $50 bag of weed and didnt know where to get it, and someone else did they may add a $5 finders fee on to the cost of the bag. This would make the $50 bag actually cost $55.

Repeat- Writings on Architecture: Calatrava Spire Shrouded in Irish Fog



A typical Irish developer, build it and they shall come.

You would be concerned how GK finances himself on a personal basis.

 

[Civic_critic2]

If only a fraction of what really goes on in this country with the connected were to be known there would be an immediate call for jailings. We know that Project Eagle organised the sale of over 6 billion in loans for 1.6billion and we know that at least two backhanders of 7 million and 45 million appear to be have been paid. This information was presented in parliament to the Taoiseach. What did he say? He stood up in front of the country and told the person who presented this knowledge to more or less go and fk off.

The Irish did nothing in the face of this stunning demonstration of brazen corruption at the highest levels. Nowhere else in the world have I ever seen such sneering dismissal of proven corruption around matters involving billions of the people's money.

And so the Irish, since they will not defend themselves or move in any way, get shafted. Repeatedly.

Now we have Bruton with his 'I didn't, well I did a bit, but it was pro bono' schtick.

Ahern with his Sopranos 'I won it on the horses'.

People outside the door of the Taoiseach's office, part of his team apparently, telling Gilmartin he'll end up in the Liffey (i.e. kill him) - at the very heart of the Oireachtas.

Gilmartins book is a must read.

That Fianna FAIL party would do anything.

Speak for yourself with your delusion.

Have you not built a home for them yet ?

A degenerate individual, taking your cue from the top.

What Exactly Is the Iona Institute?

BS.

I take my cue from nobody.

But thanks for letting me know how much I can expect to pay for two new houses.

 

[Civic_critic2]

You're just the dross that sniffs out opportunties left over by an international game of finance capital and debt leverage. You take your cue from the money men and whatever droppings they leave over to you.

If you say so but it seems to work.

Ooops Kelleher will not be enjoying his porridge this morning.

 

[hammer]

It is now expected that some 500 homes will be built on the site, with an announcement early next week. The homes are set to be a mix between social and a new cost-rental model and are to be controlled by Dublin City Council.

Excellent news for Inchicore.

Keep the recovery going.
