Property in Ireland: I won't respond to FB claims: Anura Kumara

Referring to claims that he owns a property in Ireland, JVP Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said he had no interest in responding to claims made on social media.

Earlier this week, several pictures of a letter from the Irish Revenue Department addressed to one Anura Kumara Dissanayake was circulated on Facebook.

The letter addressed to Dissanayake Mudiyanselage Anura Kumara Dissanayake was dated October 16, 2016 and referred to a property on 28, Sydney Avenue, Blackrock, Dublin 6.

Signed by Collector General Michael Gladney the letter is a reminder to pay 675 Euros as Local Property Tax (LPT) for the year 2017.

When contacted by Daily Mirror, the JVP Leader questioned whether any public figure had made any accusations against him in this regard.

“If someone in the public sphere such as another MP or politician has not made such an accusation, I do not see the point in answering such questions. You should ask the people who posted such pictures,” the JVP Leader said.

During the short telephone conversation he neither denied nor acknowledged that he had received such a letter or that he owned such a property.

Bloody s.... man, now the guys who claim to be good guys are stashing their goods elsewhere. Now good lesson Mr. Anura, do not read from pieces of paper while at parliament until some other MP make a accusation. Keep shut. Case is open.

"neither denied nor acknowledged" / Dont ask Dont Tell . This is a Sahodaraya. He only feels the pain of the people on TV and stages .

We hold you in high esteem. Don't allow it to be tarnished by false propaganda.

Kadiya Wednesday, 01 February 2017 07:24 AM

So what? If the IRA gifted such a property to him why is it anybody's business, neda Anura?

Pradeep Wednesday, 01 February 2017 07:23 AM

That means news is correct !

Ajith Wednesday, 01 February 2017 07:17 AM

I cannot remember the person or the. TV channel, however one politician (think from JO) mentioned this during a media briefing just a couple of days ago. He also linked it deals with the government. Over to you Mr Dissanayaka to respond now.

Kale Wednesday, 01 February 2017 07:04 AM

How did 'social media' get hold of this letter?More misconduct in the post office, opening mail meant for others to see if there is cash?

Kale Wednesday, 01 February 2017 07:02 AM

€675 for the LPT?That is quite a tax, how big is the house?!

DEAL KUMARA Wednesday, 01 February 2017 06:47 AM

This fellow is biggest rough in this country

He must have got it from a dayakaya!!!

IVJ Wednesday, 01 February 2017 05:56 AM

I would give the benefit of the doubt to Mr. Disanayake until it is proven that the property is his. However, I wouldn't be surprised even if it is true as I don't think we have "any" honest person in our parliament. Hence why our country is cursed!

Nimali Wednesday, 01 February 2017 04:33 AM

So it appears even those who are supposedly championing anti-corruption have secret monies stashed away...

Why the property id is hidden ? Anyone can edit a letter like this
