In recent times we have all heard about the TV show “Rip-off Republic” and the controversy that it has been causing in Ireland with respect to how people view the financial management of the country by the government. We also know that the government has been deeply upset by the program (strange to comprehend that it would have contained such upsetting material considering that it was aired on RTE?). Anyway I guess it is now unsurprising to see an article in the media about an ex-client of the show’s presenter Eddie Hobbs, whom allegedly was an off-shore tax evader. Far be it from me to suggest that this is the start of a slur campaign against the one man in Ireland who was willing to publicly point out problems in the country. source: Irish Times
