Never mind the Golf, we’ll finally get the Adare bypass and maybe even a proper road to Cork
@eric nelligan: Who wants to go to Cork!?
@Seb Bowyer: it is so you can leave Cork
@Seb Bowyer: anyone with a brain
@Finbarr O Donovan: There are more Finbarrs in Cork – than anywhere else on earth….
@John Horan: No it’s so ye can escape to Limerick
@eric nelligan: agreed, the Dublin Naas dual carriageway was increased to three lanes each way in the years just before the Ryder Cup was held at the K Club!!
@Seb Bowyer: everybody with a brain and intelligence
@Seb Bowyer: Everyone
@eric nelligan: make sure it’s a 2 way road so you can get out of Cork and keeping the Dublin road is imperative (suggest they make the Dublin road a one way to Dublin )
@Seb Bowyer: thank god you can keep them
JP’s dream has come true.
@MyBrokenKnees: God the Cork jealousy is so over the top. We have no problem in cork we welcome the loud West Brits and the piebald pony people like a true capital.
Aboy da kid JP!
@Julian D’Arcy: he should get some sort of recognition for all he has done to support so so many sports in Ireland and particularly in the Limerick area. What a man.
Upgrade to the roads in and out of Adare so…
This will be the very best for the Irish economy thanks to the one and only Mr J. what he has done for Limerick,charities,sports and a lot more throughout the island of Ireland there is no government to come close what a Gem fingers crossed I hope they get the Ryder Cup in 2026.
@Den Henry: now go and scrape the brown off your tongue.
@Den Henry: You might want to research his profiting from care homes and re think that.
@Den Henry: He also hasn’t paid any tax in Ireland in about 20 years, but sure just ignore that
@Sam Harms: and let’s also ignore the fact that the government are underwriting this Ryder Cup using the tax coffers that JP refuses to pay into. People like Den are easily bought.
@Sam Harms: Bit like u2 etcetera etcetera
@Sam Harms: JP doesn’t live in Ireland. He lives in Switzerland. He pays tax in Switzerland.
My brother lives in Australia – he doesn’t pay any tax in Ireland.
What’s your point?
@Chin Feeyin: but he did try to claim he was domiciled in Ireland just so he could claim back tax he paid in the US because the Ireland US treaty would allow it. So he wants to be Irish for tax purposes when it suits him
@Sam Harms: If you knew him you would realise what he does for charities down here. You anti Munster bias shows it’s head again. He employs loads of people who pay into the tax system in Ireland. He has helped numerous families including my own with his funding of Milford Hospice. He’s a great help to St. Joseph’s in Charleville Co. Cork amongst loads of other charities. He offers scholarships to lots of kids. So he is a great man. What do you do for charity ?
@Sam Harms: big difference between “domiciled” and “resident”. He was claiming back tax paid in US, not in Ireland. I would have done the same, don’t know about you.
@Chin Feeyin: he was claiming tax back in the US and asserted he paid his taxes in Ireland, which has a deal with the US around these types of matters, a deal not available in the country he technically lives in. It was deceitful if not illegal, what he did.
@James Wallace: And you got your information about this where exactly?
@Walter Obrien: no, u2 pay their personal taxes here whereas JP avoids paying his personal taxes here.
@James Wallace: Show us the proof of that please
@James Wallace: no, he claimed to be domiciled in Ireland. He did not claim that he paid tax in Ireland because that would not be true.
@James Wallace: JP does not avoid paying tax in Ireland. He lives in Switzerland and pays tax there.
@Chin Feeyin: They are just throwing out crap with no proof. Ignore them
@Decko49: There ya go. His case is actually brought up in tax lectures when teaching about double tax agreements. Nobody said he doesn’t do lots for charities but that doesn’t mean he did’t try to claim to be Irish domiciled just to take advantage of the Irish US tax treaty. https://www.newstalk.com/news/irish-billionaire-jp-mcmanus-has-paid-no-tax-in-ireland-for-20-years-593845
@Sam Harms: Ok by revenue rules if he is not domiciled in Ireland over 183 days a year he doesn’t have to pay tax. So there is the reason he doesn’t pay tax here. Why would he pay tax in Ireland so? I lived in England and the US too a d didn’t pay tax in Ireland. Do you want him to pay double tax?
@James Wallace: And what does the FG master DOB do ?
@Decko49: I never said he has to pay tax, just pointed out that he hasn’t paid tax here yet wants to take advantage of our tax laws when it suits him
@Decko49: If you read the news you would have seen it. Dishonesty over gambling winnings, sorry he’s not a good guy.
@Sam Harms: Sam, if someone criticises JP for avoiding paying tax in Ireland by living in Switzerland, you may as well say I am avoiding paying Swiss tax by living in Ireland.
If anyone thinks he lives in Switzerland in order to avoid paying tax in Ireland, they are wrong. He lives in Switzerland because of the lifestyle there.
As far as I am aware, he hasn’t broken any laws. If he has, then the Revenue should deal with that.
@Jude: He’s a top class guy. We down here know it. We don’t care what you think.
@Sam Harms: Yes he’s totally correct to do it. I would do it too as would most people. But of course you will tell me next you would not. He’s a great man. He goes above and beyond helping less fortunate people. Look at all the other wealthy people in this country exploiting loopholes in the tax laws. And what do they do for the people? If he lived here full time he would pay his taxes. He indirectly gives loads of money to the taxman with all his employees. But it’s your usual anti Munster feeling pushing this
@James Wallace: Dermot Desmond, Denis OBrien etc etc etc
@Decko49: another clown looking for a Leinster v Munster bias when it has absolutely nothing to do with a tax dodger
@TheHospitalPass: Maybe you can’t read? But it clearly says in the article that Sam posted that he’s not a tax dodger. Try keep you. You are the clown
@TheHospitalPass: you are a clown, constantly on here spouting negative bile, away with you
@Decko49: public domain. It was in the papers at the time.
@Decko49: did you choose to live in England for no other reason than to avoid paying tax here?
@Sam Harms: I think you’ll find you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. He claimed he is Irish domiciled. Which he is as is everyone who was born in Ireland. That never changes! He is resident and ordinarily resident in Switzerland but domiciled in Ireland. Read up a bit before you spout crap!
@James Wallace: Read the article your friend Sam Harris put up. He’s not a tax dodger. The revenue constantly put up lists of tax dodgers. How come JP has never been on the lists? Don’t let facts get in the way of a good bitch. JP lives most of the year in Switzerland. And lives in Ireland less than 183 days a year. Fact
Brilliant news.somewhere other than Dublin for a change.
@Seriously stunned: Kildare no?
Great news though. As above might finally get the bypass!
@Seriously stunned: the only big golf tournaments eligible for Dublin are The Ryder Cup and the Irish Open. There’s never been a Ryder Cup held there and the last Irish open there was in 2003… don’t let facts get in the way of your agenda though
@Seriously stunned: muppet
@James Wallace: I’d say he’s seriously stunned when he checked out the facts , dohh
Another Dublin hater
@Seriously stunned: Ah, I remember that Dublin Ryder Cup well. No, wait…
@JoeO: well i meant a big event that isn’t on in Dublin.i wasnt referring specifically to golf.
@Declan g: what’s not to hate.its full of junkies jackeens and idiots who think they are better than everyone else.
And the Dubs be gong for 12 in a row
Hopefully finally a motorway between Limerick and Cork..
@Gary Heslin: chance would be a fine thing
Open the rail line and get dropped 200 metres from the Manor gates. Big crowds only one mass transportation mode needed
This will be the very best for the Irish economy thanks to the one and only Mr J.P. what he has done for Limerick,charities,sports and a lot more throughout the island of Ireland there is no government to come close what a Gem fingers crossed I hope they get the Ryder Cup in 2026.
I hope the lads have helicopters by the dozen because the traffic will be backed up as far as Portlaoise.
Seven years to build the bypass. Get it done.
Thanks to one individual you are a mighty man what you have did a lone through out this island
Chilling. After the last Ryder Cup, at the height of the madness, the country went broke….we could see history repeat itself!
@Insider at RTE: The country also went broke just after I had a dose of the trots. There could be some link there.
@Insider at RTE: the collapse 3 years after the last Ryder cup and had absolutely nothing to do with it but ok, let’s talk about that now. FFS
@Mick paisley: Well keep us in the loop there mick please, just in case!
@Insider at RTE: we’ll have long collapsed again but 2026!!
@Verandah: …by 2026!!
It’s the worst place in Ireland for traffic.
Thanks to one individual you are a mighty man what you have did a lone through out this country
@Den Henry: give it a rest Den. It’s easy to be “mighty” when one is a billionaire.
@OConnelj: the thing we all like to appreciate is he didnt start out a billionaire.
@Doire: And so do I. I don’t have a problem with JP, very generous guy by all accounts. I just find it amusing that Den is, and I guess, creaming himself at the very mention of the Great Man.
@OConnelj: everyone has there own stimulation. Sure if Dens happy with a bit of JP fantasising let him rip on.
@Doire: You are right Doire. Who am i to talk with my Pam Anderson screen saver. Apologies Den!
Yurt as they say
JPMcManus will be 75 yo, hope he’ll be in good health
At least it’s not been held in Doonbeg is all I can say about it …wicked grin going on here
@NotMyPresident: then you know the charlatan in chief would be selling ‘President Ryder Trump’ gifties in Mar a lago
Great news. Adare is a most stunningly beautiful village (bottleneck) and it will be great to show the world. Price of a pint will go through the roof though.
Looks a bit flat no great viewing pts not like paris or portrush for the open it be like the k club where could see fcukall i hope in wrong
@Jem Mehmet: you obviously have never been there!
@Jem Mehmet: will probably be the best golf course ever to host the Ryder cup in its history – the belfry is like a pitch and putt course in comparison
@Jem Mehmet: Was at the K club with my late Dad we saw loads just wandering …aside from some cracking golf, Michael Jordan and Bill Clinton stopped beside us while we were following Padraig, the fecking glower of Woods as he walked off from his match, and we ended up standing right in front of Boris Becker at the 18th hole in the final day for McGinley. Loved it.
Well done JP a statue is being made as we speak you are a legend well done
No better place. Well done to all involved in bringing this important event back to the country
Will I have a chance of I apply for tickets now?
Anyone know when tickets will be going on sale
Adare is technically Cork anyway
@Michael Kearney: Explain? I really want to see this
@Michael Kearney: live to hear the reasoning for that imbecilic comment!
@Michael Kearney: is that an opinion
The rich keep getting richer and the poor beg for crumbs at the gate
Great news in fairness, only issue for me is that since the revamp the course has gone so expensive I can only presume after Ryder Cup it will increase again. I loved the original layout, couldn’t justify nee green fee. All the same best wishes JP , Top man
Another good day for Irish golf.
Between upgrading the course and bidding for the event I would say JP has lashed out some money to get this event
It’s outrageous to comment simply to bring the count to one hundred
@Richard O’Brien: was that a bogey, a par or an eagle????
Will there still be a Great Britain in 2026?
Irrespective of McManus, its been a great week for golf.
I’ve traveled that way quite often couple of years ago the bypass is badly need the only problem is the NRA need to go trough the golf course to build it. He.! He.! He.!
@Aidan Mulligan: Totally wrong.. the by-pass can go behind the Dunraven Arms Hotel which is on the opposite side of the road to both golf courses !
@Aidan Mulligan: or tunnel underneath!!!
@Walter Obrien: guessing you don’t know what a joke is end of my post kinda says it all
Welcome to RIP off Ireland.
Nowhere for tourists to stay.
Or more families being forced into homeless due to a quick cash in.
have your say
