Ironic with a capital I

[Meridian]

Sheriff's lads, the scum that go out with heavies to reclaim goods etc from distressed businesses

Well seems that, what goes around comes around:

Covid debt freeze will put sheriffs out of business, Minister told

Sheriffs tell McEntee that closure of their offices would lead to increased tax defaults

Bollocks … these people are only doing their jobs often in situations where there are raised tensions. A legitimate profession in a rules based economy where there are winners, loses and casualties along the way when you take on risk but don’t pay your debts, often through no fault of your own, well you know how that ends (or should end) …

True - not a nice job but unfortunately required. Plenty of cases of lads doing the bollix not paying their debts, thereby giving them big advantage over their competitors who are trying to trade whilst meeting their obligations to suppliers, etc.
Take that clown Wallace in Wexford - if Sheriff had been sent in sooner, lot of subbies would have avoided having being shafted by him or at least would have been exposed to much smaller losses. He milked it until last minute and left them high and dry!!
