Calls for under-declaring councillor’s resignation

THE political future of a Fianna Fáil tax defaulter is hanging in the balance after a call was made for him to resign his seat on Cork County Council.

Even Cllr Dan Fleming’s own party leader, Micheál Martin, said he did not believe it was acceptable for any public representatives to be in dispute with the Revenue Commissioners.

“I intend to look at this case and, if necessary, take whatever actions are appropriate,” Mr Martin said.
