blanch152 wrote: » That is a principle. Applying it outside the World of Gerry shows it to be flawed.
FrancieBrady wrote: » It's a principle of the British system that nobody should be out of pocket challenging the validity of their system. Because it's a Shinner or Irish person you think it is flawed. Says more about you than anything else.

Tax exiles, who are usually limited to spending only 183 days in Ireland, will be allowed to remain longer this year, without taxation consequences, if they can prove to Revenue they were forced to stay because of the coronavirus.

Strange that there is no ''Holocaust day'' equivalent for the victims of the British empire given their crimes far exceeded the Nazis. An empire that systematically murdered, cleansed and enslaved the indigenous people of North America, Africa, Asia, Australia and Ireland over centuries for profit/capitalism that remains the cause of most regional conflict to this day. Really puts politicians in Ireland bending the knee, wearing poppies, to ''commemorate'' British forces and their terror into perspective. Zero self respect as Irish people imho.
