Leo Varadkar, a man known for his devout love of the EU, has come under immense pressure from social media users after he advocated for vulture funds.
He staunchly advocated for so-called vulture funds, whose ethos centres on preying on asset-stripping those who find themselves in financial distress, and a particular emphasis on evictions for profit.
Despite these well known and generally despised practices, Mr. Varadkar remarked that the term vulture funds is too harsh.
Speaking on Christmas Day, the Taoiseach commented that these entities will do a good job’clearing the bank’s balance books.
