I don't really care. The only problem I have with them is that they have no right to ask me to support others with the big fat wallets they maintain. I think it's also a 'bit rich' (pardon the pun) ... for people like Bono to preach how we should donate our P.A.Y.E. cash when he has dumped his money into a foreign tax haven .... so that he can keep more than he should as an Irish 'resident'. It's an awful pity he and Mr. O'Brien don't follow their tax havened money in their private planes .... they wouldn't even have to pay the €10 taxation charge on their flights! As long as our country continues to treat the rich more favourably than the rest of us plebs we ain't got a hope for an equitable playing pitch in this fair country of ours.

I think it’s also a ‘bit rich’ (pardon the pun) … for people like Bono to preach how we should donate our P.A.Y.E. cash when he has dumped his money into a foreign tax haven …. so that he can keep more than he should as an Irish ‘resident’.

It’s an awful pity he and Mr. O’Brien don’t follow their tax havened money in their private planes …. they wouldn’t even have to pay the €10 taxation charge on their flights!

As long as our country continues to treat the rich more favourably than the rest of us plebs we ain’t got a hope for an equitable playing pitch in this fair country of ours.

I think you'll find that they are donating millions to third world countries, they just don't shout about it. I wish they'd consider the financial crisis in Ireland and give us a dig-out instead of allowing those fools in Government to mug the elderly. Paddy,

At the same time they are trying to rob little old ladies, they are trying to line the pockets of Tom Parlon and the builders by going into the subprime mortgage business. See http://www.homechoiceloan.ie/ for details. There’s more to it than just the medical card issue.

Everyone here has a medicare card. Pensioners can also be eligible for a Commonwealth Senior's Health Card that offers discounts for prescriptions and services. It's means tested but the income threshold is reasonable. Seems ridiculous when ireland was the first to guarantee bank deposits yet they are refusing necessary medical care to those who have contributed to their coffers for so long. Go over to Stephs, there's a rally on Saturday re the health card issue. They don’t seem to have thought this through very well! Everyone here has a medicare card.
