ON the same day that Irish taxpayers were told that they would be paying for the rest of their lives because of the €30bn Nama buyout, disgraced banker Sean FitzPatrick was holidaying abroad.
But while there were people who swear he is in one of the world’s top golf resorts on the Costa Del Sol, there was no definite sighting of ‘Seanie’ in his usual Spanish bolthole.
In the good times and more recently in times of trouble, the former boss of Anglo Irish Bank has headed for the luxurious sanctuary of the Real Club de Golf Las Brisas Spanish golf and country club.
Mr FitzPatrick became a member of the exclusive club in Marbella several years ago, when joining fees were close to €100,000.
Unconfirmed reports from staff working in the restaurant suggested that Mr FitzPatrick dined out with friends in the club restaurant on Thursday night – just as the full horror of the impact of the crisis on present and future generations was becoming clear.
a neck like a jockies you know what.
We need the Birdman to chase him around the place. Make sure that his buddies get their mugs exposed too.

I don’t know who the birdman is but personally I suggest we need Leon to “pay him a courtesy call”
This is the Birdman at work:
I like Charlie, but in fairness - wasn’t he a bit soft after travelling all that way.
Charlie: “Mr. Drumm, come out of there and talk to me will ya”
Very polite.
Trespassing laws are very different in the US and sure Charlie could have had a bullet in his head.
For me the most notable thing was the Drumm using his family as a shield.
Charlie approaches door, Knock Knock…
Charlie: “Oh they’re there…he’s there…Mr Drumm its Charlie Bird from RTE can I talk to you?”
"Charlie bird from RTE… Why are you duckign down?
Drumm: " Charlie what are ya doing?"
Charlie: “I want to talk to you!”
Drumm: unclear audio
Charlie: "Well can I talk to you outside?
Drumm: “No you can’t!.. Have a bit of respect will ya!! I’ve got my family here now Charlie ”
Charlie: “Taxpayers at home in Ireland would like some answers”
Drumm: “Did you see the sign on the gate?”
Charlie: “Theres some taxpayers…”
Drumm: “Leave Now!”
Charlies promptly leaves.

What did Drumm and Seanie do ? They ran a bank into the ground . But so what ? The government nationisatied it . The same government who have been in power for over twelve years . The same Taoiseach who was the Minister For Finance at the time . The same government who pimped the property market to no end . The same government who failed to regulate the banks . The same government who are famously in the pockets of big developers . And the same government who are in power today .
Blaming Seanie and Drumm is only the FF press office looking for some poster boys to blame . Charlie Bird knocking on Drumms door is only a joke . ’ Go away ’ ’ Ok so ’ . Its not excatly Watergate .
