Mr. Haughey had complained of interest<br \/>\nrates, which were undoubtedly extremely high during this period, following<br \/>\nwhich some tentative discussions by way of negotiations took place. Mr.<br \/>\nHaughey proposed to pay a sum of \u00a3200,000.00, which seemingly was<br \/>\nexpected by him from some development in Baldoyle and referred rather<br \/>\nvaguely to some other possible sources of funds. Mr. Phelan then pointed<br \/>\nout and Mr. Haughey admitted that even such a \u00a3200,000.00 reduction<br \/>\nwould still leave interest charges beyond the customer\u2019s capacity to meet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3-17<\/strong> &#8230;.There was mention of two sources of funds, one being<br \/>\nBaldoyle, and of the Gallaghers no longer being necessary. Additionally, the<br \/>\npossibility of Mr. Haughey introducing a \u00a310 million deposit from the Iraqi<br \/>\nState Bank was mentioned by him, in relation to which there had seemingly<br \/>\nbeen an initial unfavourable response from the Central Bank,&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3-21<\/strong> &#8230; With regard to<br \/>\nthe references to a Baldoyle development in which he had an interest, he<br \/>\nsaid that this puzzled him, and must have reflected some confusion, as the<br \/>\nAbbeville lands were his only possibility of raising a substantial sum of<br \/>\nmoney, and he absolutely ruled out any involvement in any Baldoyle<br \/>\ndevelopment. He did recall something in relation to his having mentioned<br \/>\na large deposit from an Iraqi bank: Ireland was then in dire financial straits,<br \/>\nand this was one of many instances in which persons came from places<br \/>\nlike the Middle East, and offered money at lower rates than were current in<br \/>\nIreland.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>some people on the news at one on rte radio complained about the availability of the moriarty-tribunal report. sure its in PDF here as the Planning Tribunal (the other tribunal into payments to politicians) is looking at the Baldoyle lands module, I scanned the moriarty-tribunal report for Baldoyle (where i live). 3-16 On 19th February,&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/2006\/haughey-moriarty-baldoyle-iraq\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Haughey Moriarty Baldoyle &#038; Iraq<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
