Whats his personal agenda? To improve kids mental health? Or do you think hes just trying to line his pockets?
Living in Dublin he would need to travel to limerick say a 4 hour round trip for 500 gross pay for his days work before all expenses. Hardly a kings ransom
Kids would buy their own tin whistles mate, that was the case when I went to primary school in a deprived area nearly 40 years ago and itās still the same now,
I saw Bressie do his thing a couple of years ago. I thought he was a genuine enough chap and the piece seemed to resonate with younger people in the attendance
The fee is closer to 1000e and this has been validated to me by someone who organised him coming in (not Mrs Mac).
Heās a director of A Lust for Life Charity. If the charity is paid for Bressie speaking, do they avoid paying tax on it? And could it wind its way into his pocket without him paying tax on it?
The point is that he hadnāt a pot to piss in until you liabes starting firing money at him to do these talks. He has contradicted himself on numerous occasions regarding his own mental health issues. But sure it gets ye an hour off actual teaching and someone else is picking up the tab.
