The Irish landlords

On Saturday an estimated 100,000 Irish protested aganst the government and the cuts. It won't be the rich who will suffer.

The Irish property bubble might have burst, there are still plenty of Irish millionaires who derive their fortunes from bricks and mortar. Indeed, no less than 31 Irish business figures feature on the 2010 Estates Gazette Rich List, which details the fortunes of the UK's super-rich property moguls. Leading the roll call of Irish multimillionaires this year is John Magnier, with an estimated personal worth of €637m.
