Ask the questions then. Doorstepping him outside the stadium on the night of our biggest game of the year is indeed a pathetic attempt to associate our club with the whole scandal. |

Probably, I'm sure he owns/has investments in multiple companies registered here. I don't think himself personally is Irish tax resident though. |

In case anyone was wondering (probably not), I had a wee look to see if I could find anything in the Irish press, but cant see anything about Desmond and the Paradise Papers at all. Some other Irish billionaires bought a plane and registered it in the Isle of Man to avoid having to pay Irish VAT, but Desmond doesnt seem newsworthy there. |

one of the billionaires that registered the plane in the Isle of Man was Celtic shareholder Denis O'Brien. Bono has been the main one mentioned in the news over here. Think he was involved with some Lithuanian company that was mentioned. |

Only in the DR would Celtic’s main shareholder doing this be a bigger issue than the queen doing it Who is the bigger name in Scotland? Dermot or Lizzie? That’s why it’s an attempt to balance the whole tax/ebt shenanigans rather than report on what needs to be reported I’m not defending DD it any of the mega rich the system is designed to protect - far from it - but front page of the DR when Lizzie is doing it too?

I don't think any millionaire should be exempt from criticism in this case. The rich have always got richer and the poor have always got poorer since time began It is even more galling that more people are turning to food banks in this country by the day just to survive when millionaires and multi millionaires are trying to screw the system over for even more money. The only thing I would agree with is the apparent eagerness to highlight DD in the Record today when there are many others out there who have screwed the system for years but have generally got away with it due to the SMSM's failure to acknowledge it

Completely separately, how effing far did Desmond have to walk to get into the ground? You'd think he'd have a chauffeur driven limo dropping him right off at the front door. ![]() Come on, he's just one of us dontcha know. Incidentally, in support of Her Majesty's position in all of this, me and Mrs BC have private pensions, which an IFA spreads across a number of worldwide funds. We haven't a clue where. We could be funding ISIS and drug cartels for all we know.

Who gives a eff if they doorstep him outside CP? It's the role of a journalist to do that, and catching him unawares is all part of it. It's not as if it affected the team in any way. I think if people are going to get annoyed (as I did) about the association our club had with 'Better Together', the Poppy Appeal, and John Reid, then it's fair kop. |

TBH the Queen will be 2 days news with this. I fully expect her to be shifted from anywhere near the story a week from now. The people at the top of these rags are part of the problem. |

she didn't even survive a full morning. By half eight yesterday morning,they were dragging some old bint out the House of Entitled Arseholes to tell us how she'd know nothing about it and it would be her advisers who were at fault. Guess they didn't "advise" her. |

So we focus on a non british tax payer and forget about all the british ones who have cost us a lot more? Strange way to make a point. In this example we are possibly talking about the swiss losing 1million, where we have individuals who must have cost close to half a billion staying out the press? |

There's a story with Dermot Desmond but it's not a particularly surprising one, really. Irish multi-billionaire take steps to minimise his tax liabilities. Well, of course he does. |

), sets up Swiss Tax Scheme for Aircraft company he owns to lessen tax burden. Not really much to do with BBC Scotland, who currently employ at least two genuine tax dodgers. It was also pathetic the way they showed the whole story, but left it until the news recap to state that none of what DD was accused of was in any way illegal.



It is even more galling that more people are turning to food banks in this country by the day just to survive when millionaires and multi millionaires are trying to screw the system over for even more money.
