Public meeting Thursday 7th May, Ballsbridge Hotel, 7.30 pm

Unfortunately I won't be in the country on 7th.May. However, persons attending do require to press home the matter of obtaining refunds for the extortion that has been charged for the past number of years.

Good Luck to all
 
Feels like the SVR mortgage campaign has gotten great publicity to date. And while rates for most haven't tumbled yet there certainly seems to be a fair bit of pressure building on banks to stop the deliberate gouging of variable rate mortgage customers.

Now's the time to send a clear message to the banks, the Central Banks and the M/Fin that us lot suffering under these interest rates have had enough of being exploited.

I'll definitely be going along to the meeting on Thursday. Driving up from Wexford for it. The petrol expense will be well worth it if it results in a lowering of the mortgage!
 
Its great to hear people making the effort to travel from around the country. Bring friends along even if they have a tracker or no mortgage at all! The more people that show up on the night, the louder our message will be to the Government and the banks.
 
We're delighted that there are so many planning to come to Dublin on Thursday evening for the meeting. Fill your cars, bring your friends and neighbours. A big turnout will add huge credibility and weight to our campaign and will generate serious media coverage that will in turn help pressurise the government into action. See you all there.
 
Look forward to seeing you all on Thursday. I will spread the word via FB....
 
Only 2 days left before our Public meeting and I would ask people going to bring at least one friend.We need to show the government that this campaign group of 300,000 will decide who is in or out at the next election. Yes we will !

A special welcome to all travelling from outside Dublin.
 
Sorry I can't join you on Thurs but something has come up. Was hoping to travel from the not so sunny south east even though I don't have a mortgage any more, but am appalled at the banks treatment of those who do. We were also fleeced many years ago and still bear the scars.
Congrats to all who are there to stand up and be counted. I'll be with you in spirit!!
 
Great article in this mornings Indo by Charlie Weston
I think people now realise that this campaign is pushing the right buttons.Come along to the Ballsbridge hotel tomorrow evening 7th May at 7:30 p.m.
 
I had intended to attend tomorrow night but something has come up. I will definitely attend the next meeting no matter where it's scheduled to take place.

Well done all for tackling this issue and good luck tomorrow.
 
Apologies,I will not be there tomorrow,have to work . It must now be clear to all, that the Central Bank ,Department of Finance, the Banks,the Omdudsman the regulator and Michael Noonan are all in cahoots, all working in concert.( Its this type of groupthink that allowed the Banks destroy the country ) They will resist all pressure to change the rates.With their ideology all Banks must be fattened on the back of variable rate holders families,and then sold to Fianna Gael Buddies ,like what's his name ????. A
definitive plan of action must come from this meeting,and a default strategy enabled should the status quo remain as is. This default strategy must kick in and trigger a clear intent by all variable holders and their families not to vote for fianna Gael,vote for anyone else, so to inflict most damage to fianna gaels,Election campaign .(focus must be put on all marginal seats) Best of luck tomorrow,hope fianne gael are watching ,no doubt their monitoring everything.

I also heard the mass meeting mentioned on the news on Q102 this morning.

This campaign is really starting to gather momentum. The mass meeting tomorrow evening is going to be an important event. Please turn up and show your support.

Fair play to Charlie and he was one of the first to retweet my message on Twitter. I'm heading to Dublin tomorrow with a car full of contrary people !! #SVRcampaign
 
Just wondering what bearing this will have on those who's mortgages, who where sold unlawfully to venture capitalist funds such as Mars capital. Who are neither a bank or a regulated entity.

The ignorance shown to people by Micheal Noonan, to those mortgage holders, at the time I will never forget. His now support for the reduction of SVRS, on behalf of the people is laughable. It is just a pure show, to try and boost some support for FG in the next election, and has little or nothing to do with actual feelings or understanding in support of the people.
 
Hi Waylander

The customers whose mortgages have been sold are probably most vulnerable to rate hikes. If Mars increases the rate on your mortgage to 10% tomorrow, there is absolutely nothing which the government or the Central Bank can do.

I think you should raise this at the meeting tomorrow.

Apologies I won't be able to make it this evening as I will be at work. I let me friends know who are in Dublin and have just confirmed 2 carloads of friends are attending this eve. Well done to everyone who has organised this. Best of luck.
 
Could I ask whether the meeting organisers have any expectation of a media (particularly broadcast media) presence at the meeting?
