Bacon is a director of Ballymore Homes!!

[Orwellgeorge]

Vested interest - Peter Bacon, architect of the NAMA is a director of Ballymore Homes, one of the biggest house builders in the UK and Ireland!! Crazy!! Those banks should have been nationalised, shareholders told to lump it and the developers forced to sell for what they could. We would have deflated our way out of unemployment. But the establishment will protect thier property. Fuck them all.

PS He wears cuff links too!! First against the wall…

Anyway of finding out if he is a shareholder?

[CaveCanem]

Dr Bacon should make a statement declaring his interests. Maybe he’s been buying bank shares recently.

[What_Goes_Up]

Hey Pete - FUCK YOU!

[Fiend]

Doesn’t matter if he has shares. He is a Director of a house building company.
Doesn’t matter if he resigns either because we all know about the ‘wink and the nod’ culture.

Not saying he is corrupt or doubting his integrity at all but this single fact rules him out in my opinion.

Great Find!

bar a social uprising which would reform our “democracy” this illustrates why emigration is the best long term move.

[Open_Window]

This qualifies his comments “I’m not a moralists” somewhat.

So let me get this straight as I haven’t had much time these last 3 days to read the pin or digest what actually going on.

We have an “economist” who is also “property developer”, unelected by the people of Ireland proposing that the taxpayer i.e. the Irish people should buy the toxic waste of the Irish financial & political elite. Now have i got that right now?

Seriously who the fuck is Peter Bacon… its time to do some more digging.

Revo,

He was a director:
independent.ie/unsorted/feat … 85182.html

…
Ballymore founder Sean Mulryan chairs a high-profile board which includes Michael Smurfit, formerly chairman and chief executive of Smurfit Group, until his retirement last year.

It also includes Dr Peter Bacon, famous for the Bacon Report on property which advised the Government on how to control prices in the property market.

The fourth member of the board, Brian Fagan, the Group Finance director, is a former employee of DCC.

Apparently not anymore:
ft.com/cms/s/aed2ae60-1c91-1 … t=yes.html

Peter Bacon, an Irish economist and former board member of Ballymore Properties, one of the property developers now in the spotlight, has been advising Mr Lenihan on a possible bad bank. His plan envisages that the government would issue bonds to the banks in exchange for troubled loans. The value of the bonds would reflect the writedowns of the assets the banks had been forced to take. Clearly the banks are not happy with that prospect.

Ok he may not be any more but there is a smell and it needs to be explained.

That last bit about the the Banks are not Happy. With what a NAMA world or A Pre NAMA world whence they would have to carryout and hold the writedowns on the books? Excuse my utter ignorance here.

Another Slovak site - in English - from the 24th of March, 2009:
stavebni-forum.com/en/articl … ratislava/

According to architect Branislav Kaliský, author of the renovation design, the “real architectural wonder”, as the building was called complimentarily by manager of Europe Ballymore Properties Peter Bacon some time ago, will be „iconographic for the entire Europe“.

You don’t think he’s open to be questioned on his motives?

So when did ‘is’ become ‘was’? Somewhere between the Summer of '07 and the Spring of '09 it appears.

Ah sure that’s ancient history - bless his little cufflinks, I have no reason to doubt his impartiality.

Wait a minute, it’s still the Spring of '09

Yes but going by the developers calander, house prices are back at 2003 levels … so no conflict there
