We’re looking to buy a place in (because renting here is nigh on impossible these days) so I approached a mortgage broker and they just got back to me with this gem:

“Bank of Ireland will not consider your mortgage application because you run a not-for-profit.”

How bloody lovely.

Congratulations on creating a system that rewards the worst of the worst and fucks over those striving to work for the common good. I, for one, won’t be shedding a tear should it burn to the ground.

@aral That's horrific, you have my sympathy.

This won't help and probably won't tell you anything you don't already know, but if you're in the mood for two hours of eloquent and entertaining rage about housing in Ireland in particular:

@octonion Thanks, I might watch that while sobbing with a bottle of wine or something :)

@aral hopefully the wine and/or essay will at least provide a little relief :)
