    It's a split camp. Yes they are (not sure all of them) tax dodgers as they have moved a lot of stuff to Holland as they are charged less tax there. But on the other hand they do give a lot of money to charity. Apparently Bono gave €5million last week. Could they do if they had to pay tax in this country...anyway this country sucks, so let them at it.

    I do, they have always been proud of being Irish (even when it probably worked against them) and they use their 'Irishness ' as part of the image, so to shift their tax liabilities to Holland is wrong. The timing was also bad as it coincideded with the Irish economy taking a nosedive
