    RBB is a bit of an ass, if his parents were taxed as he suggests himself, he just wouldn't know who the heel Vincent Browne is, he'd have to work like the rest of us!

    I'd be a lot wealthier if I hadn't to pay tax too.

    Tax exiles are one story but someone like Michael O'Leary pays millions every year in taxes.

    He is (or at least was) Ireland's highest taxpayer.

    Of course there is nothing wrong with it.

    However, she clearly stated that she resigned from DCU so she could concentrate on her role as a Senator. She made it sound like she made a huge sacrifice for the Irish people. I'm just wondering if she availed of an early retirement scheme. If she did, it is hardly a big sacrifice.

    I'm sure she did receive a pension, but not sure, she is just winding down her work a bit and giving the new job a go.

    Very true.

    However, JP McManus is treated like a God in Limerick because he donates money to lots of charities.

    The love for McManus in Limerick is similar to the love the Cavan people have for Quinn.

    George Lee. I can remember him, years before the economy went tits-up warning against the cheap money and the massive level of personnel debt in the country. Nearly everything he forecast has come true.

    He was ridiculed at the time too. He was seen as a "Doom & Gloom Man" in the same way as Morgan Kelly.

    Yeah, that's why i'm so reluctant to dismiss his weekly doomladen stuff in the SBP and Indo. He's kinda staked his reputation on the Euro falling apart at this stage. Wonder if he will be proven right.

    So called tax exiles -

    In fairness, they pay tax in Ireland on their income generated in Ireland.

    Why pay tax here for income earned abroad if our government is only going to píss it away.

    I don't blame them for proctecting their financial assets in a sensible manner.


    I await lark about money for hospitals and schools - spare it.

    I'll bet the money he donates to charities is a lot less than his tax bill would be. The people are easily fooled.

    But McWilliams was saying it back around 2000 or 2002 - which means his 'warnings' were no use to anyone.

    I wonder will this be a whole "woe is me" jobby from Quinn!? Can't see it being much else, tbh.

    I just heard a tiny extract from the interview before the break and Sean Quinn was going on about his new daughter in law, Karen and all the media attention she has to deal with.

    My heart goes out to her, imagine receiving €320,000 from mystery Russian firms, it's very tough alright :rolleyes:

    Actually, she seems to be dealing with the media attention and new celebrity status pretty well.

    This is pathetic, I didn't borrow the money, Quinn borrowed it, they were illegal loans, no resposibility to pay them back. Oh, hes said its the Dublin media and keeps going on about his kids.
