A somewhat secretive billionaire who wants to go bust in his lifetime: Twice married, New Jersey born Chuck Feeney has dual Irish-American citizenship and founded The Atlantic Philanthropies, one of the largest private foundations in the world. He owns neither a home nor a car, made his £4 billion fortune as the co-founder of the Duty Free Shoppers Group and has now given most of it away. In 2012, Forbes magazine described him as “the man who arguably has done more for Ireland than anyone since Saint Patrick”.

Just make sure Thomas McLoughlin gets nowhere near his cash register!!! Ha ha.
Ha ha. Very funny!!!
Feeney is a major supporter of the Provo IRA
What a nasty remark about a frankly very good man.
We know that you are mad and thick, but do you need to keep rubbing it in our faces?
You are a sad and stupid woman!
“In addition to donating to universities and hospitals, Feeney told Miller that he’s also made personal contributions to Sinn Fein, the IRA’s political arm, worth up to $280,000, which made him the organization’s biggest American donor (Feeney holds dual citizenship.)”
You are a sick bugger. Get help.
I wonder how much the egregious Gillian Trott has cost the McCanns?
Her constant repetition of injunctions to support them in their quest, surely has put off any reader who might have considered such support? Her ill-considered inanities are bewildering. I do wish she would stop.
Peter Wayde is right. She IS “a sad and stupid woman”.
You need help. Which fantasy cruise boat will you sail on next?
Gillian Trott is either in public relations, attempting to divert attention away from certain unpleasant articles, or has a plain borderline personality disorder. Either way she is kooky. Some mothers have them…..
