    Most of them, not the ones on RTE so far, are nice guys. Of course to a greater or lesser extent full of themselves, but who wouldn't be. But if you think it's hard to live on basic wages, try doing it after being a billionaire. And most of them thought they were. Johny Ronan being the exception. I don't know him. other than his Roller outside the restaurants and Krystle. Cosgrave being very good to tenants. But the smaller guys are hurting. Guys with the big houses on the big roads, the Bentleys and Ferrari all gone. And more to go

    People were always greedy. This is the Financial regulators fault and the government for not giving a shit. Everyone saw this unfold, nobody listened. Including myself.
