Jim Gavin dovrà rimborsare il denaro dovuto all’inquilino a condizione che “chiarisca due questioni”

If revenge is a dish best served ice cold, then that tenant has been dining out at 3 Michelin star kitchens this last two weeks.

Simply delicious.

Drag it out further Jim smart idea

If he would have paid back last week or even before his campaign and explained about his financial difficulties at the time people would have understood. But he just looks like still he’s trying to wriggle his way out of paying and not taking responsibility. Doesn’t sound like he has the honour and owning up like a army man is meant to have. Also denying he saw any sexism in his time in the army,  come on like honestly he was in army in 1990s definitely was bad sexism at the time. Thank God he’s been so exposed he would have been an awful president 

What’s the real value today of €3,300 from 16 years ago? Probably owes him about 5,000 really

>“From Mr Gavin’s initial consideration of the podcast, it is clear there are inaccuracies.”

If you’re claiming there are inaccuracies, you’d better name them. Saying unspecified inaccuracies is a complete cop-out. The tenant came across as very genuine on the podcast.

why does he need anything clarified to repay him?

Why is he spouting on about the statute of limitations being long gone to pursue it legally? Hes acknowledged the debt very recently, and unless my understanding is wrong, that resets the 6 year clock on the debt.

morally Gavin should pay the money and end the matter. But it seems hes morally bankrupt on this issue.

I had no strong opinion on Jim Gavin before this. I do now, he’s an absolute prick. How is he still making it worse for himself. Pay what you owe and fuck off.

Hope Niall keeps public the ‘two conditions’ so Gavin has nowhere to hide. Fact their trying to impose conditions is some brass neck and shows low character, just pay the man and move on.

Absolute stupidity of Gavin, his legacy is now going to be the thief landlord instead of anything else.

That 3.5k potentially cost him a couple of million and a serious pension. Silly man.

Stop digging Jim for the love of God.

Imagine after all the All-Ireland wins, the defence forces service and his various volunteer work, he will now be forever remembered as a crooked landlord who refused to pay back money to a tenant that wasn’t his, forcing a withdrawal from the presidential election.

What a fucking idiot this guy is with no honour or morals. He seems to still be dragging his feet on even acknowledging the issue and repaying the debt.

The whole thing is so grubby. I listened to the podcast this morning, and Niall Donald sounded like a very reasonable and decent person.

Yes, the country was going through tough times in 2016, but unlike lots of self-employed or unemployed people, Jim Gavin still had his secure, well paid job, and with a bit of management and prudence he should easily have been able to pay back the money owed, or at least put in place a schedule to pay it back over a reasonable time.

Very very bad form on his behalf, which has tarnished his reputation for a long time to come.

Jesus Christ. Just give the man the money and try salvage your name. He’s gonna miss out an a hell of a lot more RTE and other work if he goes down the petty route and makes himself even more unlikeable.

I listened to the podcast and I thought Niall Donald was more than fair, said he had been a good landlord and had no idea that he was in such bad financial straits at the time, admitted that it was his fault initially that he had forgotten to cancel the standing order but I was amazed that Jim Gavin still hasn’t paid back the money. Surely that would be the first thing you did after the story broke and you managed to remember you still owed this money.

Tenant just needs to clarify two things:

1. “Who the feck do you think you are?”
2. “Why don’t you piss off back where you came from?”

And then Gavin will give him the dough.

1 Do I really have to.

2 Can I possibly get away with not
