Soros is a threat to this country. Foreign agents like him and Chuck Feeney have poured 10's of millions at least into Ireland to support organisation they agree with which agitate and campaign for various social changes (mass migration, pro abortion as 2 examples).
No questions asked (certainly not by the MSM), no restrictions put in place by our forever craven Governments. But as he's perceived to be 'of the left', it's ok, nothing to see here.
Why run for elected office when you can subvert the whole process by throwing money at it from afar.
Chuck Feeney has poured millions into this country alright. Most of it supporting higher education, much of that outside Dublin. Maybe its a plot to educate rural young people so that they will become migration and abortion supporting lefties. Or maybe its the single greatest act of support the Irish state has ever received from one individual.
Chuck Feeney has indeed financed organisations lobbying for social change in this country. The marriage equality campaign the most notable. You might not support that but you certainly had the opportunity to vote against it.
I'm just off to wash my hands.
Feeney has also lavishly bankrolled Sinn Féin. It's not by accident that they can employ hundreds of activists up and down the country - a resource that no other political party on the island can match. If you're happy with this, good luck to you. I call it a perversion of democracy.
It really should not need George Soros to get the courts of Ireland to apply the law of the land (which now includes this EU directive) ...
If Sinn Fein are fundraising legally and Chuck Feeney is contributing legally, then your complaint should not be with them but rather with the legal position around funding political parties.
I'm entitled to my views on both actually. And if the laws of the land facilitate the corruption of politics by tycoons, that does not excuse the actions or motives of the tycoons.
Shedloads of a tycoon's money funneled into a political party is the essence of corruption of the political process, irrespective of whether any financial gain accrues to the donor.Sorry, corruption ? I am certainly not aware of any suggestion of corruption in connection with Chuck Feeney's funding of any organisation. Have you some grounds for that or is it just a word you like to throw about.

I think this relates to the AIB v Counihan case -
