Ireland has become Facebook’s 'laundrette for the biggest tax avoidance scheme in the world,' businessman Denis O’Brien has claimed

, a radio group that included stations Today FM and Newstalk, which was sold to UK-based Bauer Media Audio earlier this year.

Mr O’Brien criticised the company over its lack of corporation tax paid in Africa. “It is the most unbelievable and amoral business model one could ever imagine,” he said. Facebook’s practices and policies have come under renewed pressure in the United States in recent weeks, after a number of whistleblowers came forward to criticise the company’s approach to user safety and efforts to tackle hate speech.

Tax dodger Denis O'Brien has claimed

This is way off the irony scales.

Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile.

Well Denis would know, doesn't he spend just enough if the year in Portugal to avoid tax here?

Oh easy now Denis... glasshouses and stones, ya know what I mean 😜

And Lowry?

1. Tax exile 2. Bribed government officials to establish his company Take a long walk off a short pier

Says one of the biggest gangsters in Irish history.

Anyone who claims that he or his company is prepared to ‘happily pay’ taxes is an out and out liar. He buggered off to Portugal as a tax exile, then he claimed residency in Malta. A two-faced hypocrite of the highest order. And a bully who’s prepared to sue at the drop of a hat.

Pot, kettle, much.

Surely FB is entitled to something big from MichealMartinTD & LeoVaradkar for the help it gave them in introducing the slaughter of unborn babies on an industrial scale. Further info at via YouTube

Pot kettle

He'd know 🙄

This lad is clearly having a laugh.

Isn't he a tax exile?

Why even talk to him? About as useful as talking to someone like Nigel Farage. Don't give him platform.

Typical Fine Gaeler… 🥴
