Anglo Irish Bank evicts Dublin pensioners from their Killiney mansion- VIDEO

Well the house doesen't look like a mansion and it doesen't look palatial and it certentaly doesen't look like it was ever worth 3 million. I don't blame the old guy for not paying the mortgage, after all who brought the country to it's knees? How about the BANKS for a starter?

I felt sorry for this old couple, mainly in the way the old man was handled by the baillif, but he has 21 properties, mainly in the more expensive parts of Dublin. He just refused to pay the rest of the mortgage when the property value went down 2 years ago. The amount of money collected in rents from all the other properties would have paid for his final home which was massive twice over, just a greedy man.

"They were served with a repossession order nearly two years ago..." And what action did they take over the course of 2 years to remedy the situation? Seems like it was plenty of time to me. Either we are missing part of the story, or this was another rich guy playing the system, and who would have paid in the end? The little man...

Diabolical, Corrupt Anglo Irish Bank, headed by former Fina Gael politician Alan Dukes send in the forces to drag an elderly couple from there home, just like the 1800's. Treacherous B-----ds.To many people missing the point here and siding with the corrupt Irish politicians & Bankers, be it a an elderly couple in a country cottage or big house, its a diabolical act, shame on them. Like seeing back into time to the 1800's. We Irish better stand together soon or they will surly trod us into the ground just as they did in the past. The only difference this time is the so called Irish elite are the henchmen. Read your history at least in the 1800's people came from near and far to try and stop these Vultures.

Byethebay-Why is LoyalNation so convinced that it was American Corps. responsible for Ireland's economic downfall when one institution AIB lost the 31 Billion?

Sheer Bloody Poetry ! Dare anyone to say anymore ~

WoW! Bythebay how do they get away with it!

These people are far from poor. they own at least 4 rental properties. why didnt they sell some of these to pay off their debts? the eviction notice was sent 2 years ago. therefore they had 2 years living rent free. they should have sold all but one of their properties (at a loss) and paid off their debts.

Agree with you JohnnyMac. Let's just hope the guards are inching closer to Seanie Fitzpatrick down in Greystones. Now that's a video I would pay to see.

This,the same bank that blew 31 Billion Euros?

I understand they lost a lot of money - but it's hard to feel sorry for these folks - the Guards were just doing what they have to do. The people seem to have money coming in - unlike many others.

I heard stories of pensioners who have a home but no money to buy food..........Having a very expensive home that you cannot sell will never put food on the table...........This story is extreme, its the young who get made homeless in the years to come which will put the last nail in the coffin in Ireland.
