  1. The courts one again stomping on the little guy, how is anyone suppose to get ahead in life when you can’t have 13.7 million in debt

  2. Trying to offset his capital gain against the decrease in value of his other assets without selling them is cheeky to say the least

  3. >Mr Bourke told The Irish Times last November when he applied for the personal insolvency arrangement that his income had been “decimated” because of the restrictions imposed on bars and restaurants during the pandemic.

    ​

    Literally every bar and restaurant had their income decimated during Covid, the issue is that this cunt took out giant loans way beyond what he could reasonably afford.

    And not only is he declaring his businesses bankrupt, but he’s declaring personal bankruptcy so he doesnt have to pay taxes on the millions he got in capital gains, and keeps his many houses, cars, etc.

    Take this cunt to the fucking cleaner.

  4. The fella ran a few bars and restaurants that weren’t absolute shitholes created to extract money from tourists. It’s a bit of a shame to see people like him go under
