strange that 'anglo' a bank thats largely responsible for destorying the irish economy, is now suddenly the 'good guy'!.........what a funny race of people we are.
The entire issue would be moot were it not for the lunatic decision of the Cowen regime to socialise the already spectacularly bankrupt Anglo in September 2008. This action, and the motives behind it, have yet to be properly investigated and none of those responsible has yet to see the inside of a police barracks let alone Mountjoy.
But let's forget all that and blame and demonise Quinn instead...
A truly sickening article and an insult to everyoneHe has a strange point of view.
Maybe the point they are making is that at least Quinn did some good things before his difficulties, what did David Drumm or Seanie or Fingleton or Boucher Hayes or Sheehy (stick down a few more if ye can think of them) do for the country (endlessly rolling up loans for paper profits doesnt count)????, and yet who has the legal system and 'de meeejah' singled out for special treatment ..................
I.
last i heard it was closer to 5,000 people.Its more than Waters defending Quinn, we now have clergy, TV presenter, sport manager and 3,000 out in support of him. What a funny little nation we are.
Sean Fitzpatrick built up Anglo from a small bank to break the monopoly that AIB and BOI had on Irish banking. Anglo provided thousands of direct jobs and thousands of indirect jobs. He didn't force the Government to issue the Guarantee.]

What was the phrase? "The greatest single banking loss in the world.....ever" or something like that. If you think the Quinn's lied, I'd say you could put the house on it (unfortunate analogy I know) that the bankers lied on the night the guarantee was given, even Lenihan and Cowen wouldnt have signed up for this morass.
Anglo were the biggest single cause of banking madness in the country, they had the blueprint and the rest ended up competing with Anglo, on Anglo's terms. They were poison for Irish banking.
