But then, I got a mortgage with nothing more than a letter signed by Tommy Gorman which said I earned IR£65,000 per year and had satisfied taxation liabilities of €6,xxx for the previous year.
All complete bollox, of course. In fact I think anybody coulda walked into NTDUs office and walked away with a licence to borrow as much as they wanted - within reason. I don't recall him asking who's plate I was renting or anything like that... in fact he didn't even ask for the sub, I talked myself out of that 120 (I think) notes. Times were much simpler back then!
