The 72 year old Limerick native JP McManus is coming under heavy fire from a few people online after yesterday it was announced that he will be giving 32 million to all the counties across Ireland in the GAA. Fergal O’Brien racing has had a comment to make and politician Madeleine Johansson.
See some of the comments and tweets below;

"Billionares shouldn't spend their money on what they are interested in and passionate about, they should give it to politicians in taxes"

I tweeted about JP McManus yesterday, went out and did some real work (ie pro-Palestine activism) and wake up to find my tweet has 200+ comments defending a rich guys right not to pay taxes. 🤦

He doesn’t live in Ireland why would he pay taxes here? Would you ask a lad out working in Australia the same if he sent a few quid home for his club
He has a right to be tax efficient, ye lot would waste it anyway, useless, 2/3’s of ye should be fired!
He doesn’t live here, why would he need to pay taxes to a country he doesn’t reside in?
Why pay tax in a country he doesnt reside in and whats good enough for dinny is good enough for jp.does that mean that every irish person working abroad should pay their tax here
So the same taxes can be squandered on useless NGOs rather than proper investments in Housing or Healthcare. If I was JP I’d do the exact same thing.
Twitter is unsurpassed eh?
People decrying JP McManus donating €32 million because it’s only the same as them donating €500 as a percentage of their net worth
Even though they haven’t donated that aforementioned €500 themselves
