Msny say the money spent on Limerick GAA should be categorised as Charity .
It is.
Calls to mind the story, around the time of the Tsunami, when JP was asked why he was giving more money to Limerick GAA to pay for their aul renovations, than the Tsunami appeal, to which JP is said to have replied, because Limerick GAA is a far bigger disaster.
That happened.
He and his team have neglected the bit about teaching a man to fish when it comes to limerick gaa
You couldn’t be more right .
Well said Pal.
A complete and utter crock of mythical shit. His charity foundation has given some money but nowhere near the amounts that we are told. Also, for every item he does buy he has a stake in it which helps his bank balance further. PJ and his ilk should be taken out and shot.

Nothing but a cult created around his fake generosity. PJs money has destroyed Limerick GAA by putting cunts like Farmer Oliver, Morrissey and Spike in charge of something they have no interest in. It is a well known fact that Riordan spends half his time in the big house.

The charity set up by JP McManus received €46.8m from him in 2018 in preparation for his celebrity golf pro-am tournament to be held in Adare Manor this summer.
It was reported yesterday that a company which leases property to Barchester — a UK nursing home chain in which McManus and fellow Irish billionaires Dermot Desmond and John Magnier are shareholders — has made £80m (€93.8m) in charitable donations in the past two years, which have allowed it to legally cut tax bills.
Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry will be among the top golfers to play in the charity event in Limerick in July, along with actors Hugh Grant, Mark Wahlberg and Jamie Dornan, singer Niall Horan and boxer Wladimir Klitschko.
The Daily Telegraph said company records in the UK show that Limecay, which leases properties to Barchester, made charitable donations of £47.9m in 2018 and £32.7m in 2017.
Limecay’s ownership is not public but its accounts said it leased properties to Grove, the controlling group for Barchester’s nursing homes, which “is owned by common controlling shareholders”.
The company’s accounts for 2018 said the £80m given to charities over two years was given to “charities connected to two of the beneficial owners of the company” and are therefore classified as related party transactions.
Limecay paid £18m in tax in 2018 on profits of £66m. The accounts for the JP McManus Charitable Foundation in Ireland state that in the last two weeks of December 2018 the company received four “large-scale exceptional donations” totalling €46m.
The accounts state that donations of €46.8m have been “allocated to a separate fund controlled by the company as part of donations being collected for the JP McManus Pro-Am tournament due to take place in 2020”.
The accounts said the €46.8m had been received from a “beneficial shareholder of a company that is connected to some of the directors”. JP McManus’s wife, Noreen is a director of the charity. The equivalent amount received in 2017 was €4.55m.
The accounts show the McManus charity had €95.27m in the funds at the end of 2018, up from €51.3m at the end of 2017. The charity spent €2.4m on charitable activities in 2018.
Magnier, who runs the Coolmore Stud, founded the John and Susan Magnier Foundation to carry out charitable work. It is a private charitable trust so it is not required to file public accounts. Yesterday a spokesman for both billionaires said there would be no comment on the Telegraph story. Neither would he respond to questions about the €46.8m donation received by the McManus foundation in 2018.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Baroness Ros Altmann, a former UK pensions minister, said that while it was commendable to see businesses supporting charities, there should be “full transparency on what is happening with the money”.
In a 2016 tax case taken by McManus in America he tried to recoup $5.2m (€4.6m) in taxes the US Internal Revenue Service withheld after he won $17.4m playing backgammon against an American billionaire.
In a letter from an Irish Revenue official entered into evidence, it was revealed that McManus, who is tax resident in Switzerland, had not paid any income tax or capital gains tax in Ireland since 1995.
The JP McManus Pro-Am, which was last hosted in 2010, is said to have raised €140m for good causes. Tickets for the two-day event cost €50
