Exceptional gesture from one man, no matter how much he has or where it came from.

Exactly. No onus or obligation on him to do it. He's been a Godsend to Limerick GAA and he's putting his own money into it. To turn around and make this gesture is very very sound of him. Our own club will receive 1388 and while it's not going to do mad things, that's the price of a set of jerseys or 20 dozen sliotars or a well stocked first aid kit for all the teams. It's stuff you'd have to buy anyway as incidentals in keeping going, so even in a little way like that its very welcome.

How much tax does JP pay each year on his earnings?

I wonder how many pyjamas he has  :o

There's always one, probably same amount as Bono.

Great gesture and and a man who loves his GAA club and county, I heard a story when his club South Liberties were in the semifinals of the club championships (we were in the other semi) that he was going to give the players x amount of money as an extra incentive to get to the finals.

Must be great having a big investor belonging to your club

If Bono was to make the same offer would people feel the same way as they do to JP?

Who actually gives a shit? The man has given every county this sum of money that is very much needed. He didn't have to.

Now if you have something to say about the thread say it, or if you'd like to have a go at him, then start up another thread on JP and what tax he pays,  otherwise we'll be talking about The Gazza Strip and Trump and who blew up the twin towers

I'd trust JP McManus to spend his money more wisely in Ireland through his various charities than I'd trust the Irish Government if he paid it to them in taxes.
That was never a square ball!!

Nice gesture and welcome to local clubs and am sure he gives alot to charity but some organisations am sure could better spend the money

The man is a billionaire who hasn't paid income tax or capital gains tax in Ireland for 20 years.

While i'm happy to see clubs in our county get about £2,000 each, I would much rather see him pay his way in relation to
tax going towards hospitals and schools the same way as the ordinary working people do each week, people who in fact pay more tax than JP does each year.

PR gobshitery from McManus.

The little people are easily bought off with transparently empty gestures which are designed to gloss over his massive tax avoidance.

Robber barons like McManus are the problem with capitalism.

Exactly Benny. See the begrudgers down below. McManus built a stadium for Christ sake.

McManus certainly begrudges paying taxes for healthcare, housing and education, things which actually benefit people far more than a PR stunt like this will, so one could very fairly say he's the ultimate begrudger.

Irish billionaire JP McManus 'has paid no tax in Ireland for 20 years'

Irish billionaire JP McManus has paid no income tax or capital gains tax in Ireland for the past 20 years, an official Revenue statement shows.

McManus "has not been registered for income tax or capital gains tax in Ireland since 1995," Revenue said in a statement reported by the Sunday Times.

McManus, who is regarded as the 11th richest person in Ireland, with assets just under €1.1billion, lives for part of the year in a €20million mansion near Kilmallock, Co Limerick.

The statement was included in court filings from the United States Inland Revenue Service, which is fighting an application by McManus to recoup €4.6million in taxes it held back after he won $17.4million playing backgammon with a fellow American billionaire.

McManus became tax-resident in Switzerland in the 1990s.

Under Revenue rules, he is not regarded as domiciled in Ireland if he is not in the state for 183 days or more during a year.
