[QUOTE="jams, post: 5320238, member: 17985"] Ok - west Brit then - He went to rugby. I have little time for him - his toll bridge campaign with Dunphy up here was the most blatant piece of self promotion I've seen. little solace for the lefties with him though - from Wikipedia; He is one of Ireland's most visible business commentators, promoting free enterprise, small government and low taxes and is widely identified as one of the most visible champions of laissez-faire capitalism in Irish politics, praising Irish Finance Minister Charlie McCreevy [7] as a "brilliant minister in the boom years" and lauded McCreevy's controversial tax individualization as "visionary".[8] He profited from the boom in Irish land prices, selling his home at Carrickmines to a developer in 2004 for an estimated €4 million to €4.5 million an acre,[9] however he subsequently bought a house in Enniskerry for €6.2 million in 2005.[9] Despite labeling himself as one of Ireland's foremost business commentators his record as a stock picker is mixed, as he noted himself "my record when a stockbroker was so bad that Dermot Desmond rightly gave me my P45. ...if any readers are beginning to take me seriously, remember it was I who advised people to sell First Active Shares when they went public and subsequently quadrupled and it was I who told innocent investors not to touch Ryanair shares with a barge pole at the flotation. They rocketed.".[10] Ross has also held Bank of Ireland and INM shares which have both collapsed in price and is also a chairman and shareholder of SVM Global Hedge fund which has under-performed its peers.
