FF councillor in top five on Revenue’s settlement list

A FIANNA FÁIL county councillor was under pressure from council colleagues last night after he featured high on the Revenue Commissioners’ latest quarterly list of tax settlements.

Cork county councillor Daniel Fleming — listed as an auctioneer, with an address in Blarney — had the fifth-largest settlement, totalling €778,416.

Of that figure, €515,351 was a tax payment, with the remaining €263,065 comprising interest and penalty payments.
