He’s well over 50 & of course he got all his money from winning bets on the horses

And famously didn’t have a bank a/c!!! But still claims a nice pension.. :s

howya Marian, i love your one word directness :-D….. does anyone else have a massive meteor add at the bottom of their page?? with German writing over it?

He hasn’t been named yet, unfortunately. There won’t be any more details available until he appears before the court later this morning.

Christine, what’s with the big add taking up the bottom of the page when you open an article… it’s twice as big as it needs to be as there is useless text above the meteor add… thanks

it says ”var hiddenSpan=
document. createElement (‘span’)
hiddenSpan. style.display= ‘none’;var i=o; for (var i=o;i

That’s really strange Mr um, Fartbox. It’s not showing up on any browsers here or on the app, but I’ve let the tech team know and they’re looking into it now. Hopefully get it fixed asap.

it’s gone now Christine, tks… something to do with ios6 apparently… :-)

Property investment fraud??
Is it NAMA’s boss???
Bertie Ahern???
Pat Neary???

Love it: “Mr. Fartbox”.

Comment of the week perchance??

That’s strange about the advert – I’ll let our tech team know and they can look into it.

Maybe an F !

Nope. *I* was right. http://www.facebook.com/albert.steptoe.779 was wrong.

Well if it is who Albert Steptoe says it is, then I’m bang on the button but who is surprised that the likes of him and the likes of them are as thick as thieves.

Good question. Guess we will need to wait until the court appearance.

No name yet, unfortunately. We know that it’s not connected to Anglo – but that’s about it so far, until he appears before the court later this morning and more details become available.

Thanks Christine. Not connected with Anglo interesting.

a person gets arrested for fraud in this country thats a first.

so this case has been on-going since 2011 and still no name? hmmm…. I suspect we won’t find out today either!

Hi Albert, that’s a separate case. This one had nothing to do with Harry Cassidy.

Nice post. Thanks for that.

nothing to be disappointed about. thejournal.ie never name anyone until formally charged by the courts. the gardai don’t release the name either.

it’s hard to catch a break in this country if you’ve got a few Bob to invest. household Munster rugby names were scorched by a limerick property developer a few years ago also.

mmm, Declan, he was charged months ago, court case today. He was named months ago too, there are websites dedicated to him, plus a book. When I say I was disappointed, it was in relation to Caroline missing the story completely. He was in yesterdays Independent, with a full picture, so your off the mark mate.
