JP splashes the cash!

[Cyril Farrell fan]

Ideally JP would stay in Ireland and pay his taxes, but then the government would just blow it on more HSE wastage and Social Welfare payments.
At least this way the money goes to an organisation that promotes health and wellbeing.

I would have mixed thoughts on this. The man is a tax exile so he doesnt pay his fair share into government where our elected representatives decide where it should be spent. Instead he thinks he should decide where it should go - that doesnt sit easy with me to be honest.

On the other hand it is an extremely generous donation that he doesnt need to make and will be very welcome by each County board, especially in smaller counties.

I would normally say the same, but he does a lot of other low profile stuff in Munster that doesn't get the headlines and there are lots of social enterprises really helping families that just wouldn't get it.
Ideally he would pay the tax here, but when you look at the Children's Hospital and the likes where money is pissed away, you can understand why he does it his way.

When the 1st lockdown happened here, he gave I think it was €1M to family carers Ireland to purchase ppe gear and distribute to home carers that needed anything. Big box of gloves, masks, hand gel and aprons arrived here to me. Fair play to him, letter from him too in the box.

Seems it's to go to every club in each county across GAA, LGFA and Camogie.

[Rois]

There are still some clubs that have separate men's and women's football, and camogie and hurling clubs are also included. So in Tyrone, each club might get £4k each.

It is a fantastic gesture that will cause plenty of headaches

Fair play JP, brilliant generosity. He is obliged to give feck all as a tax exile but consistently gives money to his chosen areas.

Many other tax exiles court plenty of media interviews and talk the talk, JP just does it.

[Brendan]

Fair play to him I'd love the opportunity to decide where my tax money is spent but instead the leaches in the Royal family and British army get their hands on it

[Wildweasel74]

Just go to Clubs to pay their managers, rather he attached conditions to fed it into clubs underage. On another matter if he firing that out, what he putting to the Limerick Hurling team, def ain't on the books as Galway is showing up as the big spenders.

Ah now, there isn't 250 clubs in Tyrone

[clarshack]

Great to see and it goes to an organisation in which it's members are contributing massively to Irish society. If the Government got their hands on it they would probably give it to anyone but.

If it was me I'd be allocating half to improve Healy and O'Neill park and the other half to the clubs.

Strength & conditioning coaches will be rubbing their hands with glee all over ireland tonight.

I'd say their fees went up 30% on the news today.

Tyrone clubs got €1400/1500 from memory last time he gave €100k. €14/15k will be a nice wee lift for clubs big or small.
