Shocking details of lavish spending by Anglo Irish Bank executives revealed

why is it always people who went to university,who are in government in the dail,why not have a few laypeople,anyone can enjoy the bar in leinster house can,t they .the layperson is paying for it.if at all they should have qualified people running in their given area of expertise,a soldier for minister of defence,a teacher for minister for education,then again how will it not be corrupted with favouritism.

There's plenty of corruption everywhere Trealach. Which is why the Massachusetts court should recognise what Drumm is fairly clearly. Oh- on the subject of personal abuse I'm gld to see you hail from the 'gentle christian' school. Or are you operating under a little known codicil of canon law like your corrupt priesthood?

Wankin', Feckin' Bankers.

He was very well advised on the American side. He registered his home in Wellesley under the Homestead Act, the home can't be taken from him even if he was at fault for a fatal car accident. I believe it costs $15 to register at the Registry of deeds. Anyone can do it, an Attorney is'nt needed, of course if you hire an Attorney one would probably get billed for a $1,000. So whatever way it comes out in the wash, he won't lose his Multi Million Dollar Pad.

All the financial institution's CEOs that operated in that manner should be subjected to the worst torture imaginable, a few by the Clergy come to mind!!!

Lets hope history will speak to this appalling greed how far we have strayed..Ireland ,who could produce the heroes of 1916,could also produce these monsters who betrayed their country ...sociopaths all of them..a very ugly blemish in the history of such a great little country...begone you imposters..

@CaptainConman - Maybe the learned judge of the Massachusetts Court is Irish and went to the same school as Drumm - after all most of the judges there are Irish, elected and corrupt. How much does it cost these days to buy an American judge? I'm sure Mr. Drumm can afford it.

When you have your own little colony like Ireland to rule as you please, you spend lavishly. That's just the way it is.

shut up - its how the cookie crumbles - sheep are only left to bleat.

Gambling in Rick's Cafe? "I'm shocked!"

Isn't Drumm the man who is now having his bankruptcy hearing submission in Massachusetts disputed by lawyers for Anglo on the grounds that he lied repeatedly under oath in his statements to the Massachusetts Court? It would be nice to think that the US Courts are less easily influenced by 'golden circles' than the notoriously biddable Irish judicial system which is set up for admiring blatant fairy tales if you went to the right school (the same as many lawyers and judges in Ireland). I wonder will this news reach the Massachusetts Court on the man who deliberately maxed out a half dozen credit cards in the run up to his bankruptcy hearing and transferred assets to his wife's name in order to 'Party!' I hope the Massachusetts Court will be able to shame the Irish judicial system which is still struggling with an investigation into affairs at Anglo-Irish bank after three years of deliberation.

Lawless Ireland. Way too much social welfare to irrelevant (w/b)ankers from politicians.
