It was a pleasure to be joined by economist and PBP member, Brian O'Boyle who along with co-author Kieran Allen, is co-author of a new book 'Tax Haven Ireland'
We discuss why they decided to write the book that goes against the mainstream opinion and what they discovered in their investigation into how a small island on the edge of Europe became one of the world’s major tax havens. Brian links the tax gymnastics to the issues in our health, housing and education system in a way that people can understand. There's a lot in this podcast and a lot in the book.
The book is available HERE for €15.50

Ireland’s original independent left leaning news, politics, and culture podcast that doesn’t take itself too seriously and still punches well above its weight. Join critically acclaimed & derided hosts, Martin McMahon and Tony Groves as they delve into the news of the day, pull apart the spin and challenge you to be an activist. This is the non-corporate, ad free, non-plastic-podcast reality that the medium is made for. There will be shenanigans!
