I mean it's a great gesture but when you divide it up it doesn't amount to much. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 25/09/2018 08:09:43 2143646 Link 0 |
Well its really 4M€ with Dublin getting 800K and the rest of the 3.2M€ been equally divided. Since we are a Province this is only right too!! witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 25/09/2018 09:37:01 2143652 Link 0 |

Surely the GAA are going to step in here and say thanks but no thanks. We have made great strides as a country in terms of distancing ourselves from Gambling Sponsorship. The sooner we have decent public companys like local banks, chippers and off-licences sponsoring our Sports Team and we can move away from depending on pubs and JP winnings to promote our indigenous Games and Culture.

Some gems here i must admit... particularly the 1 about the lattes. EugeneFox (Galway) - Posts: 160 - 25/09/2018 11:36:59 2143681 Link 2 |
You could always give it to one club. Usually this would be the most politically connected one. Or several at the expense of others. Politics would trump here too. So I think that the way that it has been divided up is the fairest way of all. Unless there is a better idea out there?

Happy days lads, lets hope we see the money spent wisely on updating facilities and not BS promises to "fix the potholed road" on the way into the grounds. Could see some lads taking fierce notions of themselves rocking up to training 30 minutes late in one of those whopper limo jobs, taking off his designer sunglasses with his new Grafton Barbers haircut.

Everyone going on about what a great gesture this is, according to a Revenue statement from 2 years ago, McManus has paid no income tax or capital gains tax in Ireland for the past TWENTY years! ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 25/09/2018 12:05:34 2143698 Link 2 |
Tis a strange craddle that has only produced two decent teams in 90 years and one of them costing €25 million :D J.P. McManus is obviously intent on the Limerick hurlers securing world domination. A gesture like this is just part of a diabolical plan to elicit a civil war across Tipp, Cork, Clare, Wateford, Wexford, Killkenny and Galway. All he has to do is sit back and watch as hurling clubs become embroiled in a vicious struggle between themselves and their County Boards over how the money is distributed and to who!!!

THink I've seen your instagram BallyDalane buying a stray dog a piece of liver and posting an essay with 12 #'s in it. Accept the Gesture for what it was, and accept the GAA in their Anti Gambling Era should be instructing county boards to return the cheque.

The club Christmas parties are going to be savage altogether this year. Wests_Awake (Galway) - Posts: 877 - 25/09/2018 12:44:49 2143710 Link 0 |
As a Cavan person, let me completely dissociate myself from this incredibly mean-spirited comment. It unfortunately fulfills all the untrue stereotypes of mean Cavan people. As others have said, I'm sure you can propose that your club give it up if they don't want it.

He does not live inside the country and he makes his money outside Ireland (even the money that payed the bills to develop his hotel). Did you ever live abroad and if you did I expect that you payed your taxes where you lived- you need to get over it. It is good to see someone giving the money to the clubs as most of the money in most counties go into county setups.

personally I think the 100k Jp has very kindly given to Dublin should be in turn divided to the other 31 counties equally cause dublin just have way too much money and it's unfaireally that jp is funding a county board who already have too much dough .. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 25/09/2018 14:04:29 2143733 Link 1 |
Taxes he pays in the country he is in are a lot lower than almost all other countries. This is the point, not just the fact that he lives abroad and not in Ireland.

Indeed he doesn't hes a resident of the great nations of Switzerland and Barbados - countries we all aspire to put on the jersey for I bet. And fair play to him for not paying his taxes here, why would he bother seeing that great chucked into the sewer that is the Dail TD's pension! I think hes pure sound out for putting money to an actual worthy cause for a change

Apparently GAA HQ are absoloutely flabergasted at the method that Jp Mc Manus used in dispersing these funds. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1353 - 25/09/2018 16:56:54 2143775 Link 1 |
