Talk:Denis O'Brien/Archives/2015

Educational Achievements
I recall reading in a newspaper that O'Brien left school and entered the workforce directly. What year and what degree, did he do in University College Dublin?

Movie producer?
Theres lots of "Denis O'Brien"s around, is there any proof that that movie producer is this one? This one did have an involvement in TV in the early nineties, but it was on an ownership level, not a making it one... --217.67.139.104 08:16, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Good point. I propose Denis "Kitchen" O'Brien in honour of that fact that he paid some €9 million for a house in Dublin 4, and was sued by the Irish Revenue Commissioners for being a resident and thus liable to pay some €50million in tax. So he took out his kitchen and said that it was impossible to be resident in a house which had no kitchen. He won. This gem is here: http://www.independent.ie/opinion/analysis/justine-mccarthy-on-the-60-million-worth-of-prime-dublin-houses-owned-by-denis-obrien-and-his-companies-101924.html. I want to be that tax consultant! PS: Denis 'Kitchen' O'Brien would also distinguish him from 'Denis 'Starry' O'Brien'86.42.119.12 (talk) 02:18, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
To any administrators - I have noticed that an IP address pertaining to Digicel Jamaica - 173.225.250.185 - has been making edits to the company page and to the page of the company's owner, Denis O'Brien, without declaring this, therefore it is contravention of the Wikipedia guidelines on Conflict of Interest (WP:COI). Thought it would be best to bring it to your attention as I know this is strictly prohibited. Best Hlebster (talk) 16:06, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

NPOV
Self-evident bias in favour of O'Brien throughout. In fact, I'm undecided as to whether irony or hagiography is at play. In either case, rampantly unencyclopaedic.DublinDilettante 23:34, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * "Mr O'Brien supports the Irish restaurant sector by dining out during his fleeting visits to attend an Irish judicial enquiry" On closer inspection, it's irony. Funny and accurate, but out of place. :) DublinDilettante 23:34, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 5 years later and it's still pretty biased in the fella's favour. The citation police seem to be out in force concerning the Moriarty Tribunal. Looks like we might as well get busy and add citations as requested in that case. I've already made a start. --Eamonnca1 (talk) 07:51, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The bias against O'Brien throughout is evident, particularly when dealing with the Moriarty Tribunal. Strawbridge2017 (talk) 23:25, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
