Has it evolved into a box where ideas developed elsewhere are transferred into to minimise tax. If that is the case we are really milking it dry

If he's been shouting about it then given he's on media weekly, there must be dozens of such examples. Perhaps you can point me to multiples of them? He's talking in general terms obviously. We're in a country of 5 million. In general you can say the Irish population don't sniff glue but im sure you can find a few sporadic examples to the contrary if you looked hard enough

Oh and the craic is great and everyone loves us too because of our unique and wonderful sense of humour.

Before I left I had asian friends who'd taken 110% mortgages and when I asked what they'd do if the market collapsed they just laughed and said they'd be long gone from Australia before the banks come knocking! Like us they were sending their savings home and if it happens the aussies can have their debts.
