Where does he live?

UMIST times says he lives in London. Maybe near his wife's work? Some one so rich could have several homes and possible commute by aircraft. If some one can find some evidence he has a house near Hereford etc perhaps we could say "has homes in x y and z"? Billlion 16:51, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Update as of April 2004 he lived in North London acording to BBC News. Billlion 17:03, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Irish?

To what extent is he Irish British? He was born in Liverpool. Please if you have evidence to the contrary please document here and add to the article. Billlion 10:34, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

the category is for British people of notable irish descent. Arniep 12:19, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is that based on his name or do you know if he had an Irish grandparent? Billlion 09:39, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"my mother was from farming stock in Northern Ireland."[1] Dricherby (talk) 21:17, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

School

It seems he went to St Edwards College, [2] an independent Catholic school [3] but that does not imply his parents paid his fees. Indeed during the period he attended the school it was a Direct Grant school to quote [4]

The College had always been a fee paying school, although for many pupils payments were kept low. After the end of the Second World War, the 1944 Education Act saw the College become a Direct Grant Grammar School, with fees paid by local authorities for most pupils

which remained its status until the late 1970s, by which time Leahy would have left. Billlion 10:46, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A new Tesco Express store much to the opposition of local business owners and the majority of local residents. That sentence looks incomplete. Odd, considering it's from a cited source. Digifiend (talk) 08:29, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
