Thats made my day.

a banker arrested in Ireland … is this April first…… or has seanie not paid his tv licence

Muist be bad news coming from the government later today…

now we,ll see what kind of justice,money can buy

This news has cheered me up no end

Maybe he could spoof €200bn out if the Germans if we let him loose on them!

The poor man ….. however will he afford bail……..

Can we for a moment dream that he will actually pay for his sins!

Is this a stunt after the euro deal failed?

This is just hype he’ll be out playing golf in a few days.

When the government need some PR after a budget they must think “lets send the Guards round to Seanies”

Nothing will happen, he won’t be fined, he won’t go to prison. He’ll have a cup of tea with the Gardai and be on the 18th hole this afternoon

hurrah! look at him run :P

More waste of time and money. This man will never see the inside of a prison as much as he deserves it. Him, Quinn and the others have so much money hidden away the court cases are a joke to them.

He’ll not go to jail, How was it that the gardai only raided his home 18 months after the fall of Anglo…. Did they really believe a man as smart as Seanie would have left papers incriminating himself about his home……….. Put the Anglo Debt in his family name and let the bondholders go after him!!!

Yesterday a Chicago politician was jailed for trying to sell his seat in some role. Maddoff was jailed. If in Ire they wouldnt be behind bars. Pigs will fly.

Go straight to jail. Do not pass go, do not collect 200

They should beat him a little or pepper spray him. Say he was resisting arrest

lets face facts folks this is just to keep us public happy, very little will happen. Its like the stack of cards. If he gets pulled then the whole bunch will fall, too many politicians tied up in this fraud so he’ll walk.

Well Well Well – this is a turn up for the books, although like a few have said above, the chances of him actually being charged and/or doing some time are remote at best. The elite generally always get away scott free whilst he rest of us pour eejits suffer. Bring back public flogging or the stocks so we can chuck rotten tomatoes at him.

Funny how Seany makes the news when something big is happening ie Europe treaty change.What was it last time church report.

Its about time. I think to ensure this sort of treason doesnt happen again an example should be made of him. Hmm i wonder can we hang him?

if he applied for free legal aid this could take a while………………………………yawn.

Let’s hope though it’s not all just for show. It might be perverse to wallow in the misfortune of an individual but hell, it sure would make us feel a little bit better about ourselves if one of these charlatans was brought to book.

Is there’s a bit of jailing going on ?
Where the feck is Neary,Cowen and Ahern ?
I’m sure they wouldn’t mind sharing a cell.

The Bankers and developers should be in jail just like the drug dealers. Their behaviour was so similar to the dealers ie. get the people addicted and then let them crave more, knowing it would eventually destroy them. Just look at the similarities 1. Destroys families with suicide 2. Families left homeless 3. Children suffer from anxiety and suffer fear 4. Children taken from schools and moved around 5.arguements in the home over money. 6. Depression among the rest of the family. Etc etc.
Yet the Bankers and developers are still members of Golf clubs and their families are all well looked after. The taxpayer and welfare recipients are going to pay for this for generations. So I say treat them and their families like you would the drug dealers as the damage from their behaviour is the same.

I think it’s comical that Sean Fitzgerald has been arrested AGAIN. He will be out in no time after having tea and biscuits whereas in another garda station somewhere they’ll lock up a mother for having no tv licence or cut off someone’s electricity bill for non payment. Absolutely comical

Arrest all current bank managers who don’t pass on the rate cut while you’re at it

Great news hopefully this is the beginning of the end of these crooks.

You can feel the arrogance from the golden buttons on his jacket. Humbug.

This pawn is only ‘in check’, he will never be removed from the board……… expect a lot more moves like this in an attempt to appease/butter up the gullible Irish electorate that something positive is being done… in the lead up to Germany’s ‘Master Treaty’ for Europe which will have to be referred to the Irish people. Who knows we might even get some favourable financial breaks (as we’re such good Europeans) as the faux crisis reaches endgame! And when we’ve passed the latest ‘good thing’ treaty, then we’ll know the meaning of checkmate!
Sin a bhfuil agus Guten Morgen.

Don’t get too excited he wont be charged with anything, out in time for a round of golf. B.stard.

As far as I know there are only two ways that they could have arrested him today.1 he is to be charged with something or 2. new evidence has come to light and they can question him on this.I think he is being questioned by the Fraud squad and the the office of the director of corporate enforcement. The DPP has several files on him already.I think it will be easier for them to charge him with some breech of company law or some type of reckless trading.These would carry stiff penalties and I think would be easy to prove.We will have to wait and see.We are better off waiting and seeing this done correctly rather than having a rush job where he can get off or jailed and appealing conviction suing us and costing us more money.

waste of time, he’ll be out before the end of the day

Was he not arrested before?
Media stunt this to take the attention away from Enda bending over for the EU.

……This was a short time after selling Enda some baubles :)

I wonder why the top brass at another bank don’t face the music. Perhaps it is too scandalous. Further details by searching in Google for “Foley Fagan Hanna Butler”

easy to see that in Ireland steel from a shop and you and get handcuffed, steel from a country and you get treated like a like a friend who just got into a spot o bother… again it proves that WHITE COLLAR CRIME PAYS , and pays well in Ireland ….

They had a nice full Irish for him and said we will send an old file of to the DPP but don’t worry about it .Nothing will come of it off to the golf corse with you and have a nice day.More money wasted.

Arrested and without handcuffs eh! Prob give him the pink furry ones laying around the station. Lol

The Garda are not that stupid – they don’t want to be seen as fools so I think they must have something solid to convict him. It’s the judge’s that would concern me as when he goes in front of the judge, he may well have Donne business with the judge as well.

Can we not get him on treason. And lump in all the rest of them while we are at it.

too little too late

was he brought in wearing handcuffs or just invited into the station for detention?

I saw a teenager in cuffs today on suspicion of stealing from Pennys.

Arrested ‘by appointment’ apparently! They shoulda just done what the yanks done to Osama….

Is he still in does anyone know?

If they had anything on him he’d be charged. Clutching at straws

!!!!!Scum of the Celtic tiger!!!!!

Scum From The Celtic Tiger

Just heard he released…what time does he tee off at……This country there’s people that have not got two cents to rub together. The only charges in this country are bank charges.

It is Seanie Fitzpatrick…………… I wonder who will get jail with him there us so many to choose from ?????????????????????!!?!!

What’s his address?

Anybody carping about this being a political stunt should remember that Willie McAteer was also arrested in November.
Some of you out there baying for a lynching at the crossroads might like to scan Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act (under which Fitzpatrick was arrested)to remind yourselves that we live in 2011, not 1711. True, he probably will walk straight onto the first tee, but we have a lot more to be worried about.

Hehe… I saw Section 4 and automatically thought Drunk in a public place!? Different Act though!
