Publican hit with €1m-plus tax bill

Revenue investigations into tax dodging netted €147m for the Exchequer in the first three months of the year with the name-and-shame list topped by a publican.

Seamus Delaney, the Kilkenny businessman and owner of Jas Delaney’s in the city paid out €1.36m, the highest bill and the only million euro settlement.
