will the players bonuses from the approx 5m earned this summer by the hoops be taxed mate?
Iād imagine so, if not income tax then excise duty on the fags and booze will see it returned to the exchequer.

when man city bid 10m for Ferizaj next summer- will his signing fee be taxed?
The biggest issue with Ireland is our linear housing plan. Not only did it absolutely destroy the countryside and our water it meant all our jobs are based in a small couple of urban hubs where everything costs a fortune.
If only we built houses on the edge of towns and villages and not a long country lane where lads spend their days mowing lawns the size of fields things wouldnāt be so expensive in Dublin for everybody as Industries and businesses would be more spread out.

The tax scheme for artists has been radically cut AFAIK
In France I think renters have serious rights. Iām nearly sure down south in some counties or whatever itās called in France the owner canāt even evict tenants if they sell the property. I think Irish people got caught in the past buying property out there.
In Paris a lot of people just rent. A family would live in rented accommodation and when the kids were old enough to move out the parents would down size. It seems a great system to me.
Exactly this. The problem with Ireland in a nutshell. No matter how wealthy we get, it all ends up in the fcuking property system, and for every winner there, thereās a loser.

Iād agree, but it should be capped for artists and writers. Their career has no time limit as such.
Chortle chortle.
Given Charlie McCreevy, then TD for Kildare, brought it in itās no mystery.
I brought the Mrs out to Punchestown for the covid vaccination recently and itās some size of spot. Am I right in thinking thereās only one meeting there a year?
Absolutely no excuse

I think there are at least two meetings. I was at one around winter time, the time Ruby Walsh broke his shoulder or something on a fall, one of his last horse racing injuries I think.
Happy to give that the number 10.
Iād agree on this point completely. Property is a relatively simple investment to understand so maybe thatās what makes it attractive I donāt knowā¦ But so many people invest in property ahead of pension its bananas. Easier bet someone elseās money on property too I suppose
I live in Kildare. My local has three Sky boxes and two of them are taken up with racing any time I am in. They go on until around 9pm during the summer, seven days a week. Fellas in there glued to it.
Investment returns in other areas taxed to the high heavens with CGTbeing realised annually that many just donāt see the value in investing there.
