Both Bono, with his use of tax shelters which was revealed this week, and the Irish government, which allows Ireland to be used as a tax haven for multinationals, are hypocrites, says Fintan O’Toole, Ireland’s top columnist who writes for The Irish Times.
Bono, like the country, is two-faced, claims O’Toole, using tax havens while railing against dishonesty and corruption in other countries.
“Yes, Bono is a hypocrite – but so is Ireland. Around the world, the U2 frontman is the most instantly recognizable living Irishman. It is entirely appropriate that he should be both the face of the country and a prime example of its two-faced attitudes.” wrote O’Toole.
