    The Neo Feudalist society. Plus it is so easy to impose this tyranny on the Irish race. How many other famines resulted in mass death by starvation not by the lack of food but by the fact the imperialists could simply pillaged the good crops that was there for the people but could not be eaten by the people because of law?

    Because we want to

    If we didn`t we would have had a revloution by now.

    When the extra €6,000,000,000 + is transferred to Anglo it will only be another bad news day for the Government. Within a week it will be a new health scandal..............

    The article states

    Internal documents from the bank show that over a four-month period in 2008, Pat Neary, the then financial regulator, and his staff were kept abreast of the plan to reduce a secret 28% shareholding held by the insurance tycoon.
    So why do you reckon they weren't aware of the issue?

    They were aware of Quinns 28% and that it was to be reduced, that is not at issue, but there is nothing in the article to show that they were aware of the means by which it was being reduced, including the fact that Anglo were to a large extent bankrolling the sale.

    That is the impression the article is trying to give, but they show NOTHING to support it.
    no pasaran!

    Morgan Stanley, the American investment bank which advised on the deal, also told the 10 clients that the transaction had been cleared by the regulator. The documents show that FitzPatrick attended a meeting with the regulator in March 2008 to discuss Quinn’s shareholding.

    I don't know, I wasn't there, but according to the regulator's office it was the Quinn share holding and the need to do something about it, but not that Anglo were proposing to sell or place to 10 of their own customers and finance the deal with non recourse loans.

    Very insightful parallel.
