The official opening and closing businesses thread

[Matlock]

They've only been paid half what was agreed, they have arms of government to be collect the rest by what ever means including seizing assets

That's not how that works. The state would have to seek to enforce it before they could look at any further action, and they haven't.

Afaik no member of the Augustinian order in Cork has ever been involved in the clerical abuse scandals.

Harsh from some to tar them all with the same brush.

The Order of St Augustine have ties to Cork going back to 750ad.


Sad to see a part of our history going.

 

[Matlock]

But they can which was my only original point.

No, they can't.

They have absolutely no right to seize anything, or enforce anything.

The state made an incredibly stupid deal with the institutional church in relation to the redress scheme, but notwithstanding the stupidity of it they did make a deal. They can't renege on that.

Even apart from that, any attempt to seize lands would be contrary to the constitution. Constitutional property rights don't cease to exist because we don't like the property owners.

This deference to the church has to stop. Hopefully when the older generation dies off.

It isn't about deference though, I don't think.

I would say that it was at the time of the redress deal, but you can't renegotiate a legal agreement because the social landscape has changed.

St Agustines would make a great music venue.

What are they going to do? Sell flats no one wants at the prices they have to sell or more empty commercial units?

Demolish and buy up the rest of the block, there's a huge opportunity there.
