Its time the media told the truth methinks.
Reports today are trying to suggest the poor man lives off €188 per month.
Poor Seanie.
Catriona FitzPatrick could be entitled to half of her husband's €3.4m pension pot. Creditors will also be unable to touch her interest -- potentially worth as much as €2m -- in at least five properties co-owned with her husband.

Chris Lehane, the official assignee in bankruptcy, can also trawl through Mr FitzPatrick's financial transactions for the five years prior to him being declared a bankrupt last July. The Irish Independent has learned that Mr Lehane may seek to recover Mrs FitzPatrick's €1.7m interest in her husband's pension, if it can be demonstrated that she was never entitled to it in the first place.
A beaming Mr FitzPatrick (61), who was in court for the two-minute hearing, had no comment to make afterwards.

He said yesterday that his only sources of general income came from an Irish Life annuity, worth €55,295-a-year, and income of €51,900 on three rental properties. However, Mr FitzPatrick claimed that when mortgage payments, insurance, taxes, service charges, letting fees and other costs were taken into account, his income was now just €188 a month.
Personally, without casting any nasturtiums at anybody, I'd say you're a right auld cynic.......am I right or am I just feeling cynical today.......
Oh here we go folks...... look nothing is going to come of it. He is not going to be financially ruined, he is not going to be kicked out of his house. This is the country we live in, this guy will be untouchable.
Today's indo has more details
I hope the court does look into his financial past - something doesn't add up here.
What was the article insinuating when it said?
"There were extraordinary scenes following the brief court appearance when the disgraced banker was given a warm welcome in the Barrister's Tea Room in the Four Courts.
A number of lawyers gathered in the law library's restaurant, shook his hand and joined him for mid-morning tea."
