Billionaire (although I suspect he's given away so much that he's no longer a billionaire) Charles Feeney has decided to discontinue his donations to Irish colleges & universities.
This is only slightly related, but it does bother me that American tax-payers can make tax free donations to Irish universities, but Irish taxpayers cannot make tax free gifts to American colleges and universities. This despite the fact that Irish tax-payers can make tax free donations to Irish universities. I think I'm going to start lobbying Congress until fair play is brought in for us Irish-resident graduates of US colleges.
