Coyle family shells out $160k for pub’s back tax

It was one huge bar bill, but singer Nadine Coyle and her family finally paid it off, shelling out more than $160,000 (€115,000) to cover property taxes dating back more than five years.

And it was just in time, as the deadline was looming for when tax collectors could move to place on the auction list the bar and restaurant, Nadine’s Irish Mist.

The company that owns the Sunset Beach bar, Charnarae, headed by Nadine’s father Niall, had not paid any taxes since taking it over in 2008.
