One of the great endings to RTE's Reeling in the Years.
Bertie saying he would take great pleasure in watching non-compliant taxpayers go to jail - 'cause that's the kinda person I am.'

🚨 @Telegraph warning that Ireland’s golden goose of corporate tax receipts may be cooked 🚨
👇
Ireland offers an attractive corporate tax regime – headline rate: 12.5pc, first announced in 1997 – and offering incentives for investment 📈
Tax receipts have swollen raking in almost €24bn in 2023 – more than double the €10.4bn raised five years ago and more than five times 2013’s haul of €4.3bn 💴
The effects have been transformative 👇
National debt is plunging 📉
Spending is soaring 💰
The country is even piling money into a sovereign wealth fund 💵
National debt is plunging from more than 100pc of the size of the Irish economy a decade ago to around half with the country on track to be nearly debt-free by 2040 😀
It has managed to achieve this with a domestic tax burden of less than 40pc compared to the UK which is facing its highest burden since WW2 🫨
However, storm clouds in the form of Howard Lutnick at the Trump admin are on the horizon ⛈️
He has said: “They make the parts in China, they put the parts together in Taiwan, then they wave their magic wand and it floats over Ireland – of course it floats over Ireland because that is where Apple does its parts – and it comes to America and they make something like 3pc profit in America.”
@Telegraph notes that much of the appeal of an Irish base was the ability to house a company’s intellectual property in Ireland which companies then attribute a significant share of global sales and profits to that IP and so pay the 12.5pc rate rather than a higher tax in the nation where sales are made 🇺🇸
Already Trump has 👇
Pulled America out of of the OECD deal to introduce a worldwide minimum corporate tax rate of 15pc which obliges Ireland to collect a top-up tax from US companies that declare a tax rate below 15pc from next year, setting Dublin on a collision course with Washington 🫠
Ordered an investigation into “whether any foreign country subjects United States citizens or corporations to discriminatory or extraterritorial taxes” 📈
Ireland has a huge tech and pharmaceutical base 📱 💉 💊
📱 Apple has had a base in Cork for decades and employs 6,000 people
🖥️ Microsoft has 3,500 staff – not all in the Republic, for it has offices in Belfast as well as Dublin
💻 Google has 5,000 in Ireland
💉 Pfizer has 5,000 staff in Ireland working in manufacturing and in research and development
Ireland exported €77bn of pharmaceutical and medical goods in 2023 🤯
In Trump’s first term he offered a form of amnesty to companies that had stashed an estimated $2 trillion offshore, allowing them to bring the cash home with tax rates well below the usual level of up to 35pc 🧐🤑
Trump also managed to move manufacturers away from China 🇨🇳 to Vietnam 🇻🇳 through punitive tariffs
Could he do this to Dublin 🤔
Time will tell 🔗 🖼️ 👇

A censored Doctor during the pandemic confronts Fauci after being proven right about the vaccinations, the masks, and social distancing. Those who refused to follow the governments orders have been vindicated completely in light of all the information that has come out. Those who think for themselves have won this battle.
"Everything I was censored on, I was proven to be right.
You said in an interview that an institution should make it hard for people to live their lives so they'd feel pressured to get vaccinated.
*Plays audio where Fauci says that all objections to the Covid vaccinations were ideological bullshit*
Are all objections to Covid vaccinations ideological bullshit doctor Fauci?
In reference to making it hard for people to get an education, traveling, and working I'd say it very much was in context. I take great offense to this.
I think America should take great offense to this.
Making it hard for people to live without getting a vaccination. You affected people's ability to work to flourish in American society. Shame on you.
Doctor Fauci, you've become doctor fear. Americans do not hate science. The American people hate having their freedoms taken from them. You inspired and created fear through mask mandates, school closures, and vaccine mandates that have destroyed the American people's trust in our public health institutions. This fear, you created, will continue to have ripple effects for generations to come. Quite frankly, you said, if you disagree with me you disagree with science. Doctor Fauci I disagree with you because I disagree with fear."

Jose Mourinho: “We were going on the bus and the guys outside were selling shirts and flags with ‘Liverpool Champions’. You can’t do that with Chelsea. You have to keep the marketing and merchandise in a box. So we go there to destroy their title which we did” (via @obionepodcast)
