Joe should just come out and say his ultimate wish is to have every person in the country on 50k a year regardless of what they do.

On a side, I wonder does Joe have an iPhone?

Siobhan and Joe want everybody in the country who takes a risk on starting a business and creates jobs to earn as much as somebody who does fuk all and stays on benefits for their life..

That is the long and short of it. Drag everyone down to the one level, so they can control them. All those of the hard-left in Ireland want to do this. Imagine going out to work, putting in a 60 hour week to end up with the same amount of money as someone who wouldn't work in a fit.

Maybe, but you will find lots of Limerick people who love JP McManus as he has ploughed loads of money into local charities.

To make up the self-important, under-informed, over-opinionated Dub quota

I've heard he drives a 1992 Toyota Corolla, so I'm guessing that his phone is a Nokia 3210 or something. Whatever those on the right think about him, he's no "champagne socialist".

Yeah, that sounded really amateur.. like the sort of thing you would expect one of Joe Duffy's callers to say... The days when Ireland needs a QUANGO to look after migrants rights are well gone anyway..

I love Michael O'Leary.

His Income Taxes pay for several nurses and Teachers, he doesn't need people fawning all over him to feed his ego, unlike McManus.

JP McManus should be taxed on his WorldWide Income, like the USA do to all their citizens.

"I'm not going to argue about colour"...

Vincent missed a great opportunity for a quip about Leo's FG colleague Darren Scully..

I'm in complete agreement with you but it never ceases to amaze me how highly respected JP is in Limerick. People seem to forgive him for not paying tax because he donates loads to charity and sponsors lots of sporting events in the Midwest.

Go on outta that, Vincent.

You love the idea of two budgets - More Budgets = More Vincent on TV!

Very true - not dissimilar to how Sean Quinn would be made a Saint if it was up to the people of Cavan and Fermanagh.

When JP's daughter got married in Limerick a few years ago, JP paid to have the roads in his area resurfaced and the local catholic church got a major overhaul too, instead of being offended the locals applauded him.

Here is an article that appeared in last week's Limerick Leader in which JP responds to the tax exile criticism.

JP McManus speaks out over ‘tax exile’ criticism

By Mike Dwane
Published on Monday 21 November 2011 09:47


LIMERICK businessman and philanthropist JP McManus has rejected the characterisation of him as a tax exile, saying he paid all his taxes “in full” before going abroad to set up in business.


“If I was somebody who set up a business abroad and it didn’t go so well, I’d be considered an emigrant. If it goes well, I’m considered an exile,” Mr McManus commented.

He was speaking at the UL on Saturday where around €3.5 million in funding was given to 125 college students who are this year’s recipients of the JP McManus All-Ireland Scholarships.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny, special guest at the awards, was asked if he would prefer to see wealthy individuals like JP McManus pay more tax in Ireland.

Mr Kenny said replied there was freedom of movement for persons around the world and they paid taxes where they earned their money.

He also paid tribute to the businessman’s philanthropic work as “an example of how others who have made their way in life can help their country and help our people.”

Dealing with the criticism, Mr McManus said: “I didn’t leave this country for tax purposes. I left this country because I wanted to set up a business abroad”.

“My position, as I see it, is I paid my taxes before I left the country, in full. I didn’t leave the country in order to avoid paying a tax or to avoid paying a future tax that was about to come down the line.”

“I’m proud to be Irish and I think I’m doing the country more good by being abroad, trying to earn a few quid. If I decide to bring it back and spend it whatever way I like here, at least I’m improving the economy,” he said.
