Kerry towns head list of settlements

KILLARNEY and Tralee have more tax defaulters than any other towns in Ireland named and shamed by the taxman over the past nine years.

An analysis of the 4,961 cases published by the Revenue Commissioners, over the nine-year period from the fourth quarter of 2001 to the third quarter of this year shows that 111 came from Killarney and 86 from Tralee more that any other two towns in the country.

Only one city, Cork with 132 named defaulters, had more people named and shamed than Kerry’s two biggest towns.
