|
|
By:
Dara O'Briain according to the Sunday world
 |
|
By:
Daire O'Brien actually not the comedian
 |
|
By:
who is he? never heard of him tbh
|
|
By:
Presents the rugby (magners lge) on rte.
Glad hes been named, too many con artists getting away with these and other scams. |
|
By:
would have thought he was a steady individual from the way he yalks etc...surprising
|
|
By:
His Twitter page is gone
|
|
By:
T he great surprise is - he`s a drinker of lager and lime!!
|
|
By:
His brother was also fond of the high life.
|
|
By:
Presumably all he needs to do is deny the allegations?
|
|
By:
He presented RTE's late night election coverage as well. How he got that gig is one of the great unsolved mysteries of our time.

Jaysus, last person I would have thought it was.

the clown was bumming cigarettes off me one day. sat in a pub for 3 hours sipping one pint!!!
kept saying his mate is on his way with money, just waiting for cheque to clear bla... sad individual.... allegedly. |
|
By:
just as well I didn't name him last week...I was thinking of somebody totally different....a story waiting to break that one..
|
|
By:
Someone actually tweeted a link for the story at him on Twitter when the news broke. I was sure it was him after that but thought better of posting it.
|

By:
Gant very true about his brother. Ripped a lot of people off with his pyramid schemes. Dara has been a director of some of his brothers 'companies'. Always seems to be someone stuck up his own anus imop.
|

By:
just goggled him and found a story on 'mug punters'!

€600pm x 12 x 5 = €36k for a €25k car. Little wonder he needed credit with a play like that...as told in the Business Section of the Indo... |
|
By:
Anyone got a pic of him
I haven't a clue who he is |
|
By:
Google image his name, you'll recognise him.
|
|
By:
I did but all I get is the comedian
|
|
By:
€600 a moth for a car. No wonder the man is skint.

You have to laugh. The Irish Sports forum and people don't know who he is.
FFS. |
|
By:
What was going through his head? How does someone with a job in the public domain lower himself to credit betting? Surely he knew he was also playing Russian roulette with his future employment prospects. In a way I feel sorry for him because gambling may well haue ruined his career. What a waste that is.
|
|
By:
Fair enough - I know who he is
TF - imagine some people don't know every single presenter in RTE or TV3 or Setanta The price of having a life I suppose |
|
By:
That's true db. Well said.
|
|
By:
No excuse for what he did but I feel for someone in his position who did not calculate what the consequences of his actions might be. It's never nice hearing when a bettimg addiction sees someone talented ruin their career.
|
|
By:
He has also ruined other peoples careers as well, esp in this case.
Sorry tradefair no sympathy here im afraid. |
|
By:
Two lives affected over one gambling problem. It's sad in the sense he must be very naive to think he could just walk away and think it would be forgotten.

The poor girl lost her job and may be unemployed at the moment..........He on the other hand is earning and I'm sure Ryle Nugent won't abandon his Rugby buddy.........a desperate stroke to pull on anyone.
|
|
By:
not the first time either............
|
|
By:
Why was this **** not named in the sindo last weekend? Is the bookmaker named today? One of the big three (in ireland), will they chase him down for the money? So many questions.....
|
|
By:
He wasn't named in the Indo because he was a columnist in their business section.
|
|
By:
would have to agree with balla and gant , what a p r ick , anyone with that attitude does not care who he hurts , deserves a slap and a good one , what an a rse hole
|
|
By:
I hope it finishes him, I shall apply for his job
, seriously lads, either astounding stupidity or a desperate man not in his right mind. I'd go 5/6 either way. |
|
By:
Surprised the girl in the bookies knew who he was, especially to advance credit.
