Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

Gift tax applies to anyone tax resident in Ireland at the date of the gift. I don't know Gerry's tax resident status.

There is an exemption for the purpose of discharging qualifying medical expenses of an individual permanently incapacitated by physical or mental infirmity.

Are you joking?

He rents a house in Omeath.


Would you believe I don't know where he lives. You can also live in this country for various periods and not be tax resident. To be tax resident you need to spend 183 days in the country or 280 days over a two year period. I assume he is, I just stated I did not know his tax residence status.

Although Gerry used a county Louth address for his election papers he has never lived at that address. He still lives in Belfast as far as I know.

I have no problem with Adams getting healthcare in the US or some US lad paying for it.

I've a problem with him then turning round and telling me that Irish nurses are underpaid/we've a two tier health service/I'm on an industrial wage/TD's shouldn't accept favours or financial gifts from wealthy businessmen. It's hypocrisy, you can't expouse a socialist mantra and then shit on it when it suits you.

Sinn Fein voters don't have any issue with this.

So in that regard SF won't worry or care too much about what others think.

A bit like his fellow Ulsterman Seanie J

I would but I just can't seem to find anyone who gives one flying fcuk about this "story" though, that's why I'm suggesting maybe some of you budding Indo columnists might want to be the one to start a whole new thread about it.

Big Jurry has had to remortgage the Donegal holiday home ! Wouldn't like to turn him down for a remortgage.

[armaghniac]

Wouldn't like to turn him down for a remortgage.

Why? It is not like he was in the IRA, like some from West Belfast with houses in Donegal.

Only 5% behind FG in the latest opiniion poll. Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.
