CJ may sell more land to pay €5m tax bill

FORMER Taoiseach Charles Haughey is likely to come under pressure to sell off another part of his beloved Abbeville estate to finance a €5m tax bill.

The Revenue Commissioners announced last night that they have agreed to accept 5m from Mr Haughey in settlement of his outstanding tax liabilities.

The assessment relates to a series of secret payments totalling more than €10m which the Moriarty Tribunal has discovered was paid to Mr Haughey during his time in politics.
