		Desmond then attempts to appeal to the wider socialism of the Celtic support when he states “ I think there is an attempt to divide the Celtic family in some sections of the media and, unfortunately, a significant portion of the fans are allowing this to happen.
		Desmond adds, “For the first time, I questioned whether I wanted to be associated with the kind of fans, albeit a minority, who would abuse and taunt a man who has put so much of his time and energy into developing their club.
		Perhaps the saddest aspect of the Desmond diatribe is that there is the sinking feeling that the whole affair is simply a PR induced defence mechanism to reduce or prevent the probable Celtic fan reaction to yet another year of under investment in a squad which has required such investment for at least 2 years.

		Subsequently, he settled with Dermot Desmond on the basis that the loan would be repaid through the sale of the boat.
		He admitted that Mr Desmond had some "good luck" in relation to his Feltrim shareholding but pointed out that the financier had bought when the price was low and sold high.
		Asked why Mr Desmond should have paid for the refurbishment, he said his speculation was that the financier considered that a boat owned by the Taoiseach should be seen in a good light because it reflected on sailing in Ireland.

		DERMOT Desmond, Celtic's largest individual shareholder, has admitted he almost withdrew his support for the club in the wake of the barracking aimed at chairman Brian Quinn earlier in the season.
		Irish millionaire Desmond says he was "disgusted and embarrassed" by the incident and it led him to question his own involvement with the Glasgow club.

		But it was four years ago, when Desmond flexed his boardroom muscle and insisted that plans for the Dutchman Guus Hiddink to succeed the beleaguered management pairing of Kenny Dalglish and John Barnes be ditched and Martin O’Neill brought in, that shareholders and supporters began to notice the quiet man in the background.
		Desmond, judging by his warmth for his team manager, is not only O’Neill’s champion but president, secretary and one-man committee of his fan club, the kind of man, if he liked you, you’d love to write your next job reference.
		Desmond, with an eye still on the bank balances of the Premiership’s big boys, still hankers after competing in that league and pointed to the friendlies in the United States as to the potential of Celtic as a world brand.

	DERMOT DESMOND LAUNCHES SCANDALOUS ATTACK ON CELTIC SUPPORT
		His only hope is that, while O’Neill will unquestionably be missed, the manner in which this most dignified of managers has conducted himself during his time in charge can become a standard to which everyone connected with the club can, and will, aspire.
		For Desmond, this public show of disrespect for the club’s dedicated chairman not only represented the most powerful deterrent to any potential investors – it also left him and many of those currently devoting time and money to the club sorely tempted to remove themselves from the firing line.
		Of some consolation to Desmond is that, in Strachan, he believes the club have appointed a manager highly unlikely to be influenced by whims and opinions that tend to change as quickly as our fair city’s weather

		As for Desmond, he is certainly not as incompetent as Kelly and White, and there is no evidence that he is as slippery as Cecci Gori, or as megalomaniac as Berlusconi and Murray.
		If they were to move to the EPL, as Desmond intends, they would suddenly get an uplift of around £23m to their earnings from the EPL rights alone.
		I admire Desmond as a businessman, and he may be entirely honorable in his intentions.

		Aware of Desmond's interest in becoming involved at United, a consortium of businessmen which includes a former Celtic director is exploring the possibility of buying the controlling interest at Parkhead.

		They will put up the headline "Desmond disagrees with whatever the case may be" or "Desmond and the Board are at loggerheads" or "Desmond and the Celtic Trust are this" they’ll find something.

		Businessman Mr Dermot Desmond has incurred huge unnecessary costs as a result of Dublin Corporation's handling of an application for permission to carry out additional restoration works on an 18th century Georgian house in Dublin's Merrion Square, the High Court was told by his lawyer yesterday.
		Mr Paul Gallagher SC made the claim when opening a challenge by Illium Properties Ltd, a Gibraltar-registered company which bought the house in 2000 and with which Mr Desmond is involved, to the corporation's issuing in September 2001 of a notice for further information about the proposed restoration works.
