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.

> Mr Donald went to the Private Residential Tenancies Board, now the Residential Tenancies Board, where he learned Mr Gavin had not registered with it. Mr Donald eventually went to a solicitor, who advised him to send a letter to Mr Gavin, which Mr Donald hand-delivered to Mr Gavin’s parents.
Awesome. Look forward to seeing how much back tax the cunt owes

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

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

If he had cut a check the minute this was raised, it wouldn’t have become such a big issue. Also can’t claim there’s inaccuracies if you had no knowledge of this last week?

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.
StickAdventurous8237 on
I don’t understand why he didn’t pay and make it go away last week.

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.

Every day this just gets worse and worse. Would he not just pay back the money, or offer to give it to charity, and stop weasling about.
„subject to clarification of issues“ – FFS just finish this now.

That 3.5k potentially cost him a couple of million and a serious pension. Silly man.
pauli55555 on
Donald came across v well in his comments. Clearly not driven by revenge and understanding of all Gavin’s circumstances. He wasn’t pursuing any agenda here and purposely never drove the story.
This was all in Gavin’s hands to tidy up or at least manage but he chose the “hope it disappears” route. Even late in the day it feels like it could have been resolved if Gavin had acknowledged it.
Admittedly not a situation that Gavin created, it was a bank/ tenant error that led to this and Gavin was not a serial landlord. It was an unfolding of circumstances that Gavin was unable to manage. Who among us has not made errors.

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.
SamDublin on
I wouldn’t have understood at all, these types of people who Steal from their tenants aren’t president of Ireland material, he is not honourable, even fudging the paying back, some people never learn. Also agree, total fibs about time in the defence force re the women of honour, we dodged a bullet

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.

Solicitor sounds like he’s holding open some vague threat of inaccuracies as a just-in-case for a defamation claim, in case his tenant was coming after him lock, stock and barrel (which it doesn’t sound like he is). Always have some leverage. They’ll probably also try and get him to sign some sort of an agreement to say this settles the matter in full, and if they’re cheeky they’ll try for an NDA.
In reality Jim should pay over the money, shut up, and go back to his nice well paid public sector job.

If only he paid the money as soon as this issue was raised he would still be in the race. He may not have won but €3500 is very cheap to save your reputation. Cant understand the bad advise or the people around him just didn’t insist on paying the money as soon as the issue was raised !!!

Also, why is Niall not asking for €3,500 plus 16 years of interest? Someone in Jim Gavin’s position shouldn’t be attaching any subjectivities to his offer. Just pay the money and move on.
