And then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will yes.

James Joyce

February 14, 1921: Influential literary magazine The Little Review brought James Joyce’s Ulysses to America, but 92 years ago today, it was convicted for publishing “the work of a disordered mind.”

David McWilliams: Corporation tax sleight of hand will turn us into world pariahs

Ireland’s very favourable corporate tax rate will be up for discussion sooner rather than later. David McWilliams argues rightly that the world has changed since the financial crisis struck. Funds are tide everywhere. A public strangled by austerity and cut-backs demands that the burden is shared more evenly. This includes explicitly also giant multinationals. The pressure on governments that facilitate tax avoidance practices, such as the Irish, will mount.

Your author supports this view.
