Donegal County Councillor Tax Settlement

[old westie]

High profile FF Donegal Councillor and letterkenny town councillor Ciaran Brogan was named by revenue as having made a large settlement for non payment of VAT by his building company SARK.
This is highly embarrasing for Mr Brogan and his party especially in the present climate, with so many people unemployed and the state coffers so bare of cash inflow,im sure Mr Brogan charged VAT on sales but he failed to declare and pass on this vat to revenue. How greedy considering he gets 50 to 80k a year from the state for his political duties.
He is at least consistant with his party'strack record, take take and take more.

Tax is for the little people

Any chance of a law that says that any elected person who makes a tax settlement or is found guilty of any revenue offence immediately loses office, and is banned from standing for any elected office ever again?

I would love to see that law enacted in this country!

Yes they did and they sold houses to the Co Co in previous years, the benefits of insider trading without regulation a bye product from the bertie era.
Im sure they are one of the few companies not worried about NAMA
