Nearly one-fifth of Irish motorists have revealed that they know someone who has exaggerated or falsified a motor insurance claim.
It really doesn’t matter whether you call Ireland the “biggest tax haven in the world” or whether you use the less freighted term ‘investment hub’, the State’s sudden embarrassment of riches has little in common with finding oil at the bottom of the garden and everything to do with half a century of industrial policy centred on foreign investment onto which were grafted schemes to enable aggressive tax shifting by multinational firms.
Irish emigrants were opening bars in far-flung locations before Europeans ever reached Sydney’s famous harbour, so venue owner Ciara Doran’s career shouldn’t be that surprising. It is though, especially given how grim the scene is back home where nightlife is floundering from a combination of dating apps, changing habits and high rents.
