Limerick Hurling - A Billionaire's playground.

[Milltown Row2]

How much has he spent on the Limerick hurlers?

He gifted the county board millions to finish the Gaelic Grounds. He gave every player 100k when they won the All Ireland in 2017. Probably throws about a million a year into the running costs as well.

Jaysus. Some touch for them lads.

His club South Liberties were in the All Ireland intermediate club semi final one year, and they had huge incentives (money, holidays) to get into the final, they were very unlucky against the eventual winners that day after a herculean effort.

Incentives can defo give that extra % of effort into the 100% effort you'd give to reach and win a final

Just like his business in Ireland, avoiding tax on this no doubt, the players this time?

They didn't win the semi so no need to worry about paying tax?

Sorry, was thinking you were responding to my post

This is an excellent legal summary of the Kyle Hayes case.

Kiely is peerless on the sideline  in Croke Park but he was hooked in the court room.

2 years suspended and a fine of €10,000

Lucky boy.

[Milltown Row2]

I wonder who'll pay that fine?

[johnnycool]

I wonder who'll pay that fine?

Hayes is quite affluent allegedly according to the Judge, so €10K won't be much of a hardship..

I'm not getting into the rights or wrongs of what Hayes did but it was a good day for Limerick hurling in terms of trying to win 5 in a row anyway. Kyle Hayes now cleared to play and the news was buried somewhat due to Varadkars resignation. It has worked out well for John Kiely who played this very well by standing by his man although some people may say that it has tarnished his reputation in doing so.

It's to be paid in two €5k instalments

Very true

He got off lightly I think. Maybe he should have got actual prison time.
