Given outcomes of previous cases, shouldn’t these people be locked up for 12-24 months?
I believe they invoked the mick wallace rule here.

Was it really necessary to publicly print their full address? Not necessary IMO.
It is if you have same name as him! Or people could think it’s you!! That’s how the law works.. As they say, justice is done in public!
On Page 19, two publicans were fined for possession of “counterfeit alcohol for sale”. I won’t be going there for a drink.
Both publicans were in Co. Louth. Surprise, surprise.
Where in Co. Louth
Gerry Adams Barony- I trust he called the bailiffs, being a good citizen and all that.

Oh wait…I know that song….is it Kylie’s “Can’t get you out of my head” ?
Holy mother
Can’t help wonder why is it the DJ’s were the story here with their figures in bold print and home addresses given …yet down the bottom you plant a Hotelier as an also ran, with a tax sum owed of €2.3 Million. A number that is almost 5 times the combined dj’s figure.
That’s just the settlement figures .
The collection is another matter. Often they can’t pay and the amounts are not actually collected.
Nobody ever ask revenue how much they actually collect from the settlements .
have your say
