He added: “We would again like to The Mcganns had nothing to do with this – but there is no sympathy whatsoever for the bunch from across the border.

Eviction is a dirty word for Irish people. It makes the blood boil.

We recall how our ancestors suffered at the hands of absentee British landlords.

Sinn Fein’s Pearse Doherty was right to describe the eviction as “appalling” and an “act of thuggery”.

So when Leo Varadkar goes into the Dail and talks about how “only 400 eviction orders” were executed in the last year, it shows how out of touch he is with the common man and woman.

That figure of 400 comes with a human cost, Taoiseach.

That’s 400 Irish families thrown out of their homes by the banks. Your people, Leo. Your voters. They’ll remember what thank the community for their continued support following recent events in Strokestow­n and would again appeal to anyone with informatio­n to come forward and you said come election time. We bailed out the bloody banks and will be paying for it though the hated USC and other taxes for years to come. That rotten Anglo Irish

Bank got €29.3billion of our money.

And now you’re going to stand aside and let the junior Anglo bondholder­s get all their money in a €270million payout – even though your predecesor Enda Kenny said they wouldn’t get it.

Time to wake up, Leo, and smell the coffee.

It’s the last month of 2018 not Black ’47. Act now and make the banks back off the little man and woman.

And if you don’t, well, you’re not much better than the devils who starved our ancestors, driving them from their homes and scattering them to the four corners of the world. contact us here at Castlerea Garda Station on 094 9621630 or the Garda Confidenti­al Line 1800 666 111.”
