I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Mick is not exactly a fan of the FAI and men like him don't get to be successful by throwing their money away. Jaysus, I'll look bad tomorrow if it turns out to be true:(
I don't belive Mick Wallace is as Italophile as he and other people make out.
He has set up a chain of cafe's called BAR Italia, that doesn't sound very Italian friendly to me.

And of course they're not café's they're 'trattorias'.

"This little Italian café in the traditional trattoria style (informal Italian)..
It appears Mick just builds the enviroment for these establishments to thrive.

Bunch of aspiring architects forum,

"Archiseek" more like archi-farchy speak.
I've had alot of time for Wallace since first noticing his simple corporate symbol, :ball:, in the early 1990's at his sites. Football, being a minority sport and all, it was nice to see a definitive symbol of football, not confusing it with other sports. Very simple, very straightforward.
Besides a Wexford Yths match now, the best place to see Wallace in Dublin was on Ormond Quay. What rhymes with
"Three hairs on my Latté..."
