Tax defaulters list includes three tribunal witnesses
Former Fianna Fáil fundraiser Des Richardson who was linked with making payments to disgraced lobbyist and former government press secretary Frank Dunlop, appeared on Revenue’s tax defaulters list for the under-declaration of more than €38,000. With interest and penalties, Mr Richardson settled for the sum of €108,906.
Mr Richardson was a witness at the Mahon Tribunal. He brought a High Court challenge last year against a number of its findings including that he failed to disclose the source of IR£39,000 held in a bank account.
